Nightclubs and bars in Iloilo City

the place is great. a lot of restos to choose from. you can actually hop from one place to another coz its like a village of restos - thus the name smallville (pretty much like the crossroads and btc in cebu). food is great too! id like to say regatta's grill and maki gives you the best food with reasonable price. there are also restos with live bands to keep you up and about till closing time. there are also shops brewing coffee that you must try just before you head for home.

Dress Code: a casual get-up will do. but if you really want to party hard, you can put-on the best from your closet and go disco at the flow.

The Flow is still a hip and happening club in Smallville, Iloilo where all the beautiful Ilonggos and yuppies "should" party here during the weekends. They serve pica-pica and this place is deserted before 8pm - they only pack the place after 11pm.

================================
================================

Weekend parties starts at 12mn, peaks at 1am, and dies down at 3am. Prepare at least Php 300 for your drinks and cocktails - but is you're lookin fine, people WILL buy you drinks!

For groupies: Be sure to come early and grab a table on the lounge area so that your seats are secured. Dancing while eating and drinking is accepted.

For singles: Buy yourself a drink and sip it by the stairs - that way you can people watch the party-goers below (or be spotted) - you won't be buying yourself drinks any longer.

For couples: Grab a table next to the dance floor, it's be easier to leave your pica-pica while you grab your partner to dance, but don't be shocked when you find too many bottles or glasses on your table, it's usual for Ilonggos to share your table.

================================
================================

Dress Code: For the ladies: Just be fabulous and flirty! Wear high heels to go with your skirt, your dress, or your tube top. Remember, you should be spotted here so wear that sparkly top with the killer heels, girl!

For the men: Look good and smell good! Men usually go with a t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers and smelling real good (Well, who would want to dance with you if you smell?!) Make sure you have a lighter (even if you don't smoke) and extra cash - ladies might come up to you for a light or you might want to buy someone a drink, the rest is up to you.

It's the most active place at night in Iloilo City!

If Manila has Malate and Libis has Eastwood City, Iloilo has Smallville. For those who don't know yet the similarities among the three places mentioned, I'll give you one word: Nightlife!

Smallville in Iloilo City projects a community of bars, restaurants, clubs and hotels. Whether you are visiting for business or leisure purposes, Smallville is impossible to miss!

From the famous Red Horse Beer (Philippine-made beer that gives the kicks), coffee, desserts and to the different World cuisines, Smallville is your best bet. It's similar to being able to eat and drink whatever you can in one location - all in one night!

It's location is accessible from any point in Iloilo City. Just ride a cab (flagdown is now Php 40.00) and tell the driver to drop you off at Smallville.

Dress Code: If you are the trendy type, you can dress-to-kill! Apart from that, Smallville in general doesn't have any dress restrictions. Though if you have intentions in dancing in a club, you might want to steer clear from flip-flops and shorts if you are a guy.

the Go Mart is a local convenience store that is owned by the smallville 21 hotel and is located in the premises of the Hotel. It also has a branch at the next street away from the hotel. Thus local convenience store opens from 10:00 am up to 1:00 am the next day and I've included this on the nite life tips since it doubles as a budget bar area (starting at 6:00 pm) since there are several tables and chairs where you can get a seat and buy your bar chow and assorted local or international beers or liqours and spirits at the convenience store. There is no entrance fee and the spartan tables and chairs are free to use to patrons provided that you only get your drinks and bar chow at the convenience store. If you bring your own drink, you will be charged a corkage fee of 250 pesos and if you throw up at the premises, you would also be charged a "Barf Fee" of 250 pesos.

This is easily the cheapest nite spot in Smallville complex as local beers costs only 30 pesos a bottle and vodka cruiser cocktails at 72 pesos a bottle. live music is free due to the live bands playing at th Pirates Club located just beside the convenience store.

Dress Code: very casual, you can come with your board shorts and slippers and flip flops but not by your birthday suits!
