Boracay a Guide by Night

Bars and clubs

The bar scene is a vibrant one and visitors can expect to get a taste of everything here.

1) Karaoke is great fun and many of the locals enjoy visiting the karaoke bars

2) Beach bars are popular for their cheap beer

3) Fire dancers and other performers are commonplace

4) There are clubs and discos as well as bars

There are often bars located within Boracay hotels and these are perfect for those who want to spend time where they are staying rather than venture out and about. Beach bars often play live music played by local bands and the genre ranges from rock through to soft pop. These types of bars are also popular with locals and many choose to come at the weekends from the mainland to spend a weekend listening to the bands on the island and partying until the early hours.

Clubs are at their busiest at the weekends during the peak season and this is also when they are most likely to charge an entrance fee. Sometimes the entry fee can be redeemed inside for free drinks and the discos and clubs are usually filled with locals rather than tourists although everyone is welcome. It is common to stay in the clubs until 03:00 or later and some even shut during low season as they get far fewer visitors.
