Nightclubs and bars in Baguio City

I was at the Flying Gecko Restaurant and Cafe Pub last year with my wife and enjoyed every bit of it. Gecko offer great tastin' fingerfoods at around P50 each. Local light beer is only at P40 a bottle. If I'm not mistaken, I devoured around 7 different orders of the fingerfoods they call "Tapas" and drowned my soul with 8-9 bottles of beer. The place seemed intimidating at first. Foreigners are the usually patrons, the ambiance seems to be expensive-looking compared to the neighboring bars/restos. To my surprise, its just as affordable as going to one of the regular bars such as gerry's, pier one, and the likes here in Manila. The bar is very simple and yet elegant (at night) and has no doors. The whole area opens up to Session Road. The place is relatively small and cozy but has another area at the rear (near the restrooms) where bigger groups can be accommodated. I'd be going to Baguio next week with my college friends and I've been bragging about Gecko's to them for about a week now. I hope it would be as enjoyable as the last time as I was there.

Dress Code: dress up as you please.

A number of restaurants and bars along Session Road offer different ambiences depending on your mood. During special days and/or holidays, several bands play along Session with various restaurants offering food and refreshment outside their establishments for customers to experience the cool nights of Baguio.

For a nightlife that's away from the maddening crowd, this cafe is the place to be. The girl you see in the picture singing is the daughter of the owner of the trans house where I stayed in. Enjoy relaxing moments while you listen to their music. Order your best choice of coffee or tea.

This place is good spot to watch the sunset settle over the mountains surrounding the city. If you go there around 7pm, you can watch the staff light up the big fireplace. They have good smoothies and dessert cakes like black forest, carrot cake and blueberry cheesecake. Their flavored teas are also good.

The staff are nice and accommodating.

Dress Code: No dress code.

If you have your own vehicle, it will be worth your while to drive over to the Starbucks at Camp John Hay for your post dinner coffee. The drive up is quite refreshing and the store is housed in a cabin in middle of pine trees.

If you don't have a ride, you can always take a taxi. The fare ranges from P50-60/way depending on which point of Session Road you got on. If you go there late at night, be prepared for a 10-minute walk down to the CJH gate to catch a taxi back downtown. It is no hardship as the walk is cool and pleasantly relaxing. You can see the well-lit greens and ornamentals of CJH.

Nevada is the most happening place in Baguio, if you wanna party around a bunch of cool people. Nevada is a collection of clubs, bars and restaurants, all in one central square. On weekends, there is a cover charge to enter, but this allows you access to all the different places.

There is a 'Fridays' to eat, there is place called 'Beach Club' which is a casual drink spot with billiards, there is the 'Bedroom', an upscale place with couches and mood lighting, for getting your drink on while listening to pulsing house/trance music. There is also a place called 'Club Sugar' which is a two-story club that plays hip-hop and rap music, and seems the most crowded. I really liked the jams at this place, and it played the latest tunes which were also popular in the states. I thought there might be a lag time between when songs came out in the U.S. and the Philippines, but there doesn't seem to be much of one.

I highly recommend this place for a fun night.

Dress Code: Casual Wear - whatever looks good on you!
