The first NBA Café in Asia will be located in the soon-to-open SM AURA Mall in Bonifacio Global City, according to the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the cafe's manager Hoopla Inc. on Monday.

This is the second league-owned restaurant set to open outside the U.S.; an NBA Café will also open in Madrid this year.

Scheduled to open here in September, the NBA Café will feature memorabilia displays, NBA highlights and programming, and an NBA retail area. It will also host viewing parties and appearances by NBA talent.

The menu will feature American bar and grill favorites and a selection of Asian-Filipino classics.

“This is my first time in the Philippines and I’m overwhelmed by the passion the people have for basketball here,” said Bogues. “NBA Café will be a destination where fans here can watch games in an entertaining atmosphere that captures the history and excitement of the NBA.” — BM, GMA News
