                    [Summary] => At last, after having been operational for a little over a month, the latest hot spot in town, Citrus, had its formal opening.


As expected, the place was filled to the rafters. Smokers converged on the charming outdoor area of the former V Bar. Louie Ysmael welcomed guests as Moet & Chandon flowed freely throughout the night.

Citrus is the newly renovated (by Anton R. Mendoza) V Bar which has become a popular night hangout. It is also known as the preferential bar for people to hold their birthday parties. The new bar has a refreshing orange and lime theme.
