Nightlife in Subic Bay, Philippines
Over the past few years Nightlife in Subic Bay and the surrounding areas, has become a competitor to the Angeles City Nightlife, although it has some way to go yet to attract the same about of bars, clubs and visitors that come with them.
Nevertheless Subic Bay is a thriving area and has many bars and clubs in addition to restaurants and hotels to keep you entertained during the evenings.
Great Discounts On Flights To The Philippines
Unlike Angeles City Nightlife , the bars and clubs tend to be more spaced out potentially involving a little more thought and time to visit the bars if ' Bar Hopping' is your scene.
The main areas for bars and clubs are
Baloy Long Beach
Magasaysay Entertaiment Area
The Subic Freeport Zone (Ex Naval Base)
Along National Highway
BALOY LONG BEACH
Here you find many of the hotels and each has its own bar .Some face onto the beach area , others like Harleys Resort face the sea but only have a small beach area as such. Harley's and others are the first you come to as you turn off the main highway onto the road that takes you to the main beach. Many show live sports, and many are well known for thier food. . Many have nice areas to sit , have a meal and drink while you look over the Bay and watch the Sunset.
Further along the road as you arrive at the beach you will come to the Blue Rock Resort which gets very busy and they are well known for thir Barbecue Menu in the evenings. They also have a floating bar just offshore to enjoy a drink and swim if its too hot.
There are many hotels with bars to choose from on Baloy beach, none of the 'Girlie Bars' but still fun and are popular with expats, playing pool or darts and watching sport.
NATIONAL HIGHWAY AREA
This area has many bars and are mostly situated at the top end before you make the turn to Baloy Beach. You can can a trike here easy from Baloy Beach or walk in about 10 minutes.
There are a number of Girlie or Bikini Bars here and most are quite closley grouped togther so its ok for a small 'Bar Hop'. Most of the bars are small , but if its girls in Bikinis and some female company you are after then this is the place to come.
