The best bars and cafés Philippines

On Panagsama Beach, Chili's is the liveliest bar around, frequented by locals and tourists alike. With pool tables, DJ sets and live music, it's a great place to hang out. People come here at all hours of the day and night, to sip a juice, a beer or a cocktail and enjoy one of the many dishes on the à la carte menu, before dancing the night away from 11pm. The icing on the cake is that the Chili Bar boasts perhaps the best view of the sea, unobstructed at sunset. A very pleasant address.

Attention, dream spot! We found a well hidden address to change the beach bars. At 20 minutes from San Juan, in the heights of the island, this café offers one of the most beautiful views of the island to admire the sunset. Overlooking the dense forest, the palm trees, the banana trees, the sea on the horizon, the whole suspended in the void... You'll get a great view. As a bonus, fresh fruit juices (the cucumber-pineapple is delicious) and very tasty drinks like theMt Talinis Wafer Coffee which is overflowing with chocolate and whipped cream.

Bar lounge, DJ on occasion and a very honest kitchen (good pizza in particular). Special evenings from time to time.

One of the favorites of Filipinos, not a street that has its Mister Donut and cannot offer neighbors its famous assortment of sweets.

It is a bar-restaurant where several music bands play live every night. The atmosphere is a bit noisy, but also warm. Grilled meats washed down with beer are the specialty. And the platters of snacks to share are quite tempting. The name gives you the tone, we are on a 100% Filipino bar, with a very local atmosphere, far away from the new cocktail bars and other trendy places that swarm in the neighborhood. We let you make your own opinion...

They will allow all lovers of croissants to find them. Baguettes and some other French delicacies are available.

It offers Italian specialities such as Italian ice cream, espresso coffee or pizzas. It should not be missed: Iced coffee!

A large concentration of bars that animate at night. All offer snacks and snacks. Make your choice!

A café that's also a bakery. The interior is quite small, quiet and very cosy, with a slightly bohemian-chic decor. The pastries are extremely appetizing: cookies, cheesecake, donuts, carrot cake and other cakes, each more tempting than the last. The coffees are very good, as are the other fresh fruit juices and milkshakes. What's more, the staff are very friendly. There are also a few savoury dishes, such as great nachos, pastas and sandwiches. A good address in Las Piñas for almost ten years.

Small, convivial bar frequented by resident foreigners. Jess, the owner, and his wife will be happy to give you all kinds of advice as you follow your trip.

Every weekend, a large street café is located at the City Golden Friendship Park (Divisoria). It offers local dishes: barbecue, cold dishes, soft drinks and fresh beer. Sometimes music groups play live. A pleasant gathering place in the town of Cagayan de Oro.

Located in the center of Coron but set back from the main road. Bam Bar shares a large patio with the other cafes and restaurants next door. This allows you to order a beer or a cocktail at Bam Bar and order food (pizza, Filipino food, etc.) at one of the other restaurants. The atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing in the late afternoon, before becoming more festive as the evening progresses (there are live concerts). It is also a good place to meet other travelers.

Located on the main road, in the heart of the city, it is the meeting place for night owls in Coron. Every night, it's a live music concert at 8pm (often a reggae or Latin music band) followed at 11pm by a dj set. The place is friendly and the atmosphere festive. It is a sure value for those who still have energy in the evening and want to go out. It is also a tattoo parlor, for those who want to keep an "inked" souvenir of their trip.

Quite a big bar, with a bit of a lounge atmosphere. It fills up slowly from 6pm, even during the week. The atmosphere is very friendly, the young people of Legazpi meet there to have a drink with friends while listening to a live concert. Choice of the usual beers, cocktails, and some dishes to share. The staff is very friendly. The plus: the terrace in height. Special mention for the roasted peanuts given to nibble: they remind the street-food vendors of Manila and are delicious.

Located on the main road, Black Scoop Café is a nice and modern address where you can meet the youth of Legazpi at the end of the school day, as teenagers come here to have a bubble tea or a milkshake. They either relax or do their homework, in a relaxed atmosphere. There is a large choice of coffees (which is very good, by the way) and more original and gourmet drinks (coffee shakes, milkshakes, etc.). In case of hunger, there are various cakes, and the cookies are very good.

On BM beach, Chez Rose is a small typical beach bar, a kind of bamboo and coconut fiber hut and a larger hard hut with a terrace. It's a great place to hang out with friends over a milkshake, a cold beer or even a cocktail. There are often DJ sets or even live music and of course chairs to relax with your feet in the sand. On the other hand, it is said that the best parties in Puerto Princesa take place on the^second floor of Chez Rose, which turns into a club on weekends.

Established a few years ago, Sava Beach Bar has quickly established itself as one of El Nido's must-see night spots. With its lounge atmosphere, terrace overlooking the sea and rooftop, it is the ideal place for a drink with friends during happy hour (4-6pm) or at the end of the night. They regularly organize theme parties (body painting, fire throwers...) and dj's sets. Also, the cocktails are probably among the best in El Nido and there are a few options for sustenance. A great place for a wild night out!

Founded in 2014, Baguio's first craft brewery offers a wide selection of draft beers for every taste. IPAs, fruity, lagers and browns, it's a welcome alternative to San Miguel's monopoly. From the outside, the building located along the highway does not look like much. Inside, the bar has a glass roof terrace decorated with climbing plants, with a breathtaking view of Baguio and its surroundings. Perfect to start the evening without fuss. Various dishes with beer are also served. A nice discovery.

Here's a lovely beach restaurant with a chic-casual atmosphere and bohemian decor. At breakfast, you'll find omelettes, fruit bowls and croissants, while at lunch and dinner, you'll enjoy Italian-inspired cuisine, with focaccia, risotto, pasta and pizzas. Everything is excellent, and in the evening the restaurant transforms into an atmospheric bar serving some of the best cocktails on the island... It's also a popular spot for sunsets, which coincides perfectly withhappy hour !

One of the hottest bars on Alona Beach. This friendly beach bar is housed in a traditional straw hut. You can sit on the sofas right on the beach in the early hours of the morning to enjoy a good breakfast in a relaxed atmosphere, at midday to eat a burger and at sunset to sip your cocktail (happy hours available). Unsurprisingly, the place attracts a big crowd in the evening! And with good reason: the atmosphere is very festive and friendly, and the Filipino tapas are delicious.
