CHILI BAR
Read moreOn 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.
BUCAFE (BUKID CAFE)
Read moreAttention, 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.
THE TAPROOM
Read moreBar lounge, DJ on occasion and a very honest kitchen (good pizza in particular). Special evenings from time to time.
SUMMER PLACE
Read moreIn a fluorescent atmosphere (why not?), Summer is a lively bar and club, especially after midnight, serving relatively good cocktails to the sound of guest DJs. It's essentially electro music that resonates here, attracting its fair share of after-dinner revelers. The place is especially popular with Western and Asian tourists. It's a good idea to be a little careful with your drinks and belongings, as you would in any club. Finally, it's worth noting that on weekend nights, admission is not free.
GUILLY'S ISLAND
Read moreAs we say, "it sends wood." Just opposite the Cocomangas, on the beach, it is the disco always packed (especially in high season) until late in the night. There are plenty of encounters.
APLAYA BEACH BAR
Read moreHere'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.

It's also a popular spot for sunsets, which coincides perfectly withhappy hour !
ALUNA BEACH LOUNGE
Read moreOne 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.
EXIT BAR
Read moreLocated on White Beach, straddling Station 1 and Station 2, the Exit Bar is a haven for backpackers who appreciate the bar's relaxed yet lively atmosphere and its wide range of drinks at unbeatable prices. To accompany these beers and cocktails, a number of Filipino dishes are available. It's often a big hit, with people crowding together. The atmosphere is guaranteed almost daily, and it's an ideal place to meet other travellers and locals, especially in the evenings, when there are concerts and DJ sets.
FIG CAFE
Read moreThis brand new café is located on the corner of Fig Sunset View Resort. The decoration is modern, bohemian inspired, with rattan furniture and soft benches covered with cushions. The place smells like freshly ground coffee (it is very good), and also has a very good wifi connection, which may help some people. On the menu, chocolate or caramel coffee shakes, lychee or peach iced teas, matcha, strawberry or blueberry smoothies, plus a selection of cookies and tempting cakes. A gourmet address.
ANDI'S TALISAY
Read moreWith its low tables with their feet in the sand and its string lights, this beach hut is a must for sunset lovers. The view is simply incredible. To make matters worse, the cocktails and beers on offer are both rich and affordable, as is the menu of coffee specialities. You can also enjoy a burger or Filipino specialties on the go. Live music evenings at weekends. An unpretentious address with a guaranteed good vibe !
SPIKED COCONUT
Read moreAfter sunset, the musicians of Spiked Coconut took place on the beach and left for a feverish concert. This outdoor snack bar offers a few grills, pica-pica, some beers and other alcohols. Small tables for two, feet in the sand, stuffed with soft light in the branches of a tree. The location has a particularly pleasant atmosphere.
SHAKE ME
Read moreHere's an address that's original, colorful and full of pep! Shake Me is a charming, colorful juice bar covered from wall to ceiling with hundreds of multicolored post-it notes. To fill up on vitality and vitamins, we're more partial to their delicious fruit juices or fresh milkshakes, and their homemade ice creams. For a little more indulgence, we'll go for a pastry and a milkshake in cookies or chocolate (or even Bubble Gum for the more daring). A fresh, gourmet break! For a change, we recommend.
REPUBLIKA BEACH
Read moreWith its modern wooden cabana style, this beachfront bar nestled in a lush natural setting is the perfect place to sip a drink while watching the sunset(happy hours between 5pm and 7pm to boot!). Here, the cool attitude reigns with live bands, fire shows and great cocktails. From breakfast to dinner, it is also possible to eat. Feel free to enjoy the hammocks here and there! Since 2022, the bar is also a hostel, modern and clean, with an atmosphere as cool and relaxed as its bar.
KANIMAMBO
Read moreThis cabana-style bar will delight karaoke fans as well as visitors looking for a lively and typical evening with a fruity cocktail. Sure, it's a bit kitschy, but it's a lot of fun and, above all, it's the perfect opportunity to spend an evening 100% local, singing at the top of your lungs to the number 1 Filipino pastime in their company. It's all about conviviality and a good atmosphere. A few dishes (calamari, pizzas, pork adobo...) are on the menu in case you get a little hungry, and drinks include beers, cocktails and softs.
LARENA TRIAD COFFEE SHOP
Read morePerched high on a hill, this café is ideal for a late afternoon gourmet break. It offers a wide selection of hot and cold drinks based on coffee, caramel and chocolate, but also fruit milkshakes and the famous halo-halo, a mixture of crushed ice and condensed milk with various flavors and toppings. It is also a restaurant where you can find the usual range of Filipino dishes. One comes here above all to enjoy the breathtaking view of the bay from its rounded terrace, sheltered under an imposing dome.
