The 14 best bars and drinks in Subic Bay Freeport Zone

If you're looking for an authentic steak dinner with a great atmosphere in Subic, this restaurant is a fantastic choice. The steaks are top-notch, and while the prices are a bit high, the quality and experience make it completely worth it. Beyond the steaks, the other food options are also excellent. I especially enjoyed the desserts, which are a must-try. I also want to commend the staff for their outstanding service. I had one unfortunate incident where my baby back ribs were overcooked, but even after we had eaten some, the waiter was very understanding. They replaced the dish with a new, perfectly cooked one completely free of charge. This kind of service really makes a difference. The ambiance is wonderful, but a word of advice for weekend diners: this place gets packed! It's best to arrive early or be prepared for a wait, but trust me, the food is worth it. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant if you're visiting Subic.

Let's just say that Texas Joe's was one of those places where one realizes, yes comfort food could be this better. The quality and flavor of their baby back ribs is as good as ever. And if you have never been here, their full rack serving is the real full rack. Something to note though is that the portion of their sides became smaller. Probably to keep the price competitive. The place also may do good to have some facelift as it has been the same setup ever since as far as I can remember stepping in for the first time. Having said all of that, still definitely when in Subic Freeport this place is my go to and a must try.

Favorite place in Subic!!! Great value for money for steak, ribs, and other meats! Main entree comes with 2 side dishes and green beans! Steak was perfectly cooked and the ribs were soooo tender, falls off the bone! Yummeh! 😋🤤 Brownie dessert with ice cream is moist and creamy! Love it!! Beverages are priced reasonably too! Staffs were attentive and amazing! The ambiance of the place feels like in American movies with cowboy and ranch themed interiors 🤩

I remember the first time I dined at this place—it was dinner, the night before I flew out of the country. That evening has stayed with me all these years. It’s one of my most cherished memories—not because of the food, but because of who I shared it with. I even remember the exact date. Recently, my family and I returned to Texas Joe’s for lunch. We ordered a whole slab of baby back ribs with mashed potatoes and dirty rice on the side, ultimate nachos, shrimp salad, baked salmon, and chicken BBQ. The ribs came generously smothered in sauce, though the flavor was a bit overwhelming. The nachos, oddly, came without guacamole, which we missed. The lighting inside was quite dim, making it a little hard for us to see comfortably, but it didn’t take away from the joy of being together. One thing I appreciated was how clean and well-stocked the restrooms were—a small detail, but it says a lot about how the place is maintained. The staff were quick, respectful, and attentive, which added a nice touch to the experience. In the end, while the food itself didn’t leave a lasting impression, the place still holds a special spot in my heart. It’s not about what was served on the table, but the memories shared around it.

I was genuinely surprised by how good the steak was — absolutely delicious! We were a group of three and shared two steaks (the striploin and the ribeye), and the portions were perfect for us. Both were flavorful, juicy, and cooked just right. The Onion Loaf and Joe’s Dirty Rice were also incredible — packed with flavor and the perfect sides to go with the meat. If I ever come back to Subic, this place will definitely be at the top of my must-eat list.

I had a great experience at Texas Joes. The sevice was top notch and the baby ribs that i ordered were tender and flavorful. The portion was generous and the side dishes were delicious. Highly recommend for meat lovers. Overall, a fantastic meal

It is on the expensive side, but their portions are pretty generous. You can definitely share with each other. It's good for big groups. The staff are friendly enough and the service is fast. We came in around 1pm, and we were seated immediately. The place can get crowded, especially during peak hours, and parking can be a problem during these times.

I was hoping that the deli counter would be a little bigger. It was very limited. But I bought lunch while I was here. The menu made it look like the food could be well made here. The prices are premium so I thought even a simple cheese burger should be good.. The results were OK but really not worth the money.. Greesy fries.. Very doughy bun so when chewing all I could taste was the bread. As soon as you picked it up the pattie slid out. The burger pattie was good.. Onions were perfect. The dressing was a cheap thousand Island dressing. But the strangest thing was the cheese.. They had cut thin strips of it and just placed it around the edge of the burger. Nothing in the middle. It left me feeling that if they are trying to deceive me about cheese then what else are they hiding. I doubt I will be back for this reason alone

My first visit in three years after the covid lockdowns were lifted. This restaurant is still in the middle of a makeover. The second floor is yet to be finished. But the owners have a wonderful vision of an upscale restaurant, deli, bake shop, and wine store. I ordered Pasta Bolognese, and French Onion Soup. The pasta was fine; but the soup was too salty. I certainly hope the improvements in the restaurant don't miss the kitchen side as well. The staff in the front of house were courteous and eager to be of service. The menu prices are on the high side; so not much hoi polloi clientele. edit: The restaurant has new owners; and the renovations have been done. I am also happy to note that I found their onion soup so much better now. 4 stars from me this time.

For the expensive meal definitely not worth the price. We ordered medium steak we got well done, onion soup w/ cheese nowhere to be found, the only highlight of the meal is the side dish zucchini, everything else will not order again for sure. It’s disappointing.

"Best sandwiches I had here in the PH" as per my partner and that's true! Didn't get to enjoy the bread fully because I just recently adjusted my braces and forgot to order their soft rolls. But overall, ambiance,food and staffs are all great!

Very good food although a bit pricey. P699 for a burger. No service water available, only bottle water. Be aware they have 10% service charge also.

Visited multiple times with different orders, and I've always been satisfied with the food served. The orders do take a while to arrive, and breakfast items come with free coffee.

Expensive but very good food. Taste so good. If you're looking for sandwiches, pasta or burgers this is a must visit place. However, service water is not available. You must buy a bottled water.

I read reviews about the food being good, but where? The sisig surprisingly wasn't the kind with mayo and egg so I expected more, assuming it was the "authentic" kind, but it tasted oily, lacked flavor, not crispy but tough bordering hard. The kilawin was more redeeming, the fish tasted fresh and it was seasoned well. My friend got a cosmopolitan and it came in a cracked glass, slowly leaking over our table. The staff eventually changed the glass, but speaking of the staff, it's like they actively try not to see you, even if your hand in up and in their face. They should make the fine print about the 10% service charge bigger on the menu so it doesn't take people by surprise. I don't feel like what we paid was worth what we ate and the experience. The performance was amusing, even entertaining, the songs were classic karaoke go-tos, the performers were trying their best to liven up the crowd. Once is enough visits for me.

If you're a music lover who enjoys a lively, energetic atmosphere, Pier One Bar & Grill in Olongapo is a must-visit! It’s the perfect spot for those who love live bands, good food, and a fun crowd. Here’s my experience: Pros: Great Live Music – The bands here are fantastic! Whether you’re into rock, pop, or OPM classics, the performances keep the energy high all night. If you love singing along or just vibing with live music, this place won’t disappoint. Lively Atmosphere – If you enjoy loud music and an active nightlife scene, this is the place to be. The crowd is fun, and it's a great spot to hang out with friends. Good Food & Drinks – They serve a solid selection of grilled dishes and bar food, plus their drinks are reasonably priced. Their sisig and BBQ platter were my favorites! Cons: Very Noisy – If you’re looking for a quiet place to have a conversation, this isn’t it. The music is loud, which is great for partying but not ideal for chill dining. Can Get Crowded – Since it's a popular spot, expect it to be packed, especially on weekends. You might need to arrive early to get a good table. Pier One Bar & Grill is highly recommended for those who love live music, partying, and a vibrant crowd. If you're looking for a fun night out with great entertainment and food, this is the place to go! Just be ready for the noise and crowd. #PierOneBarAndGrill #OlongapoNightlife #LiveMusicPH #PartyVibes #OPMLive #BarAndGrill #FoodAndMusic #LoudAndLively #BestBarsPH #OlongapoEats

Great food. Center stage performers. Bar and bar seating available. Outside dining in “huts” available. Overall, great experience.

The bar exudes a vibrant and electrifying atmosphere, At the center, a live band commands the stage, their energetic performance drawing the crowd closer. The lead singer's voice, powerful and soulful, carries over the lively beat provided by the drummer and the intricate melodies from the guitarist and keyboardist. The dance floor is a hive of activity, filled with people moving to the infectious groove. Some sway gently, lost in the music, while others energetically dance, their movements synchronized with the beat. The sound system is impeccable, making every note and beat resonate through the room, ensuring no one can resist tapping their feet. Overall, the bar is a dynamic blend of music, dance, and camaraderie, where the energy is palpable and everyone is united by the irresistible pull of the beat.

The food has gone downhill recently. Last night we had the so called beef nachos. There was no beef only onion and a cheese sauce overload to possibly disguise this. Beer prices have increased and now their prices have an extra VAT added on your bill as before it was included in the menu prices, however the menu prices have not been lowered to accommodate this. Please bear this in mind before visiting. In our case they've lost two customers 😟

Love this place! The live music is amazing and it’s a very spacious area so it never feels crowded. The food and service is great too! I love to bring big groups here.

Lively, and loud! What you'd expect a live band would be. Not suitable for those who don't like noise though! Nice hangout spot at night :))

Subic bay is a lot cleaner than before good for swimming in the ocean there is a ocean waterpark restaurant hotels and nice blue sea

One of the most peaceful and Instagram able places visited. The white sand beach with the view of the mountains are a sight for sore eyes. Fell in love.

Weary travellers can stop and be mesmerized by the blue pristine water of Subic Bay. It is really a refreshing sight! The shores of Subic Bay were formerly the site of a major United States Navy facility named U.S. Naval Base Subic Bay. This is now the location of an industrial and commercial area known as the Subic Bay Freeport Zone under the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority. The bay was long recognized for its deep and protected waters, but development was slow due to lack of level terrain around the bay. #MillionaireMakerRoadTrip

Most beautifull Place for vacation with Family

All Hands Beach Resort in Subic. Beautiful beach and friendly staff. Wonderful place for family outings.

We had such a great vacation here. Loved the beach. We were able to visit the matketplace also. And it's clean and the stalls are organized.

Nice and great places we have sea lion show her great place to relax kids enjoying her

I was with my friend on Friday at Hot Zone. I paid for drinks and bar fine and tip. I left with Rose back to my hotel for long time. I paid for long time $5000 peso. Stay overnight. She left after one hour. Girls are FAKE! Never going back. Include my friend he got girl for long time stay overnight. He had his money stolen. She stayed for 2 hours and left. Not recommended come here.

A fun concept with girls arriving on dotage by sliding down a fireman's pole from above! Probably would have been a better atmosphere on a busier night. Girls are friendly, and the service is good. One to return to.

Great bar and friendly staff! Owner is a character and I had some awesome parties here. See you soon I hope 🥳🙏

Had a blast. The owner is a great character to hangout with. Buy him a drink and enjoy the craziness that ensues. Thanks simba for a good time. Would go back again anytime I’m in town Semper fi

Decent bar. called in this bar last night for a beer called my bill and ten mins later my change had not been returned so informed them and change was returned, similar happened last holiday, do the the staff at hot zone think it's there right to keep the change without offering it back to the customer.

In reference to AK from your review last week and as the owner of this establishment and as a United States Marine, I work hard to maintain the integrity of my staff and the bar. I have no idea what type of fine AK is referring to. If any of my staff stole anything from you or your friend, why didn't you report it to the police? I would have gladly assisted in the apprehension and prosecution of such individuals. Theft is not tolerated in my bar, period!

Good atmosphere and clean,cold beers.The only issue was the waitresses asking for lady drinks and saying cost 150p,but when bill out price was 300p,I understand they want to make money and the issue is not really the price,I can afford it,just felt duped,but did enjoy the evening.

A very nice place with nice food. Her pizza and burger are recommended!!!

Great ambience. Food and drinks are reasonably priced. Staff very accommodating. A nice quaint spot when you are in the area.

Everything is good, food and cocktails. Also, the staffs are very accomodating. A must try bar in Subic Bay.

The Liberty Bar is a decent bar to check out while in Subic. The Long Island Iced Tea was good and strong. The chicken & fries basket wasn't good. The chicken tasted as if the grease needed to be replaced. The staff is pretty attentive doing their best to accommodate all of the customer. Music was decent to vibe to. Overall not a bad place to come and get finger food and drinks.

Didn't eat any of their food but others started that it was good. Service was very slow but friendly. Good variety of drinks on offer. Plenty of seating and good music.

Liberty sports bar is my favorite spot to go!! The staff is amazing… the food and drinks are in point. Especially the Pork Sisig with rice is my favorite. Definitely a must visit whenever in Subic Bay!!! Look for Celina for great hospitality and service

Brilliant for the sports we attended last day of the UK soccer league to find all games on a number of screens, air conditioned or multiple ceiling fans options. We went for a roast dinner and Curry's very reasonable and great food.. we also went for a breakfast the next morning and we were not disappointed.

<ö+ TasteMarked Reviews +ø> We went here on a tuesday late lunch, the place was almost empty. The service is super slow, we waited for out order of an hour and we only ordered 2 dishes. We ordered: Sisig - it’s good but serving is so little. Pinakbet with bagnet - This is bad, the few pieces of bagnet is soft and the dish is a bit cold whentheys erved it. Not sure if I will be back anytime soo or ever. Plus lots of mosquitoes. and the food is pricey. Environment: 3/5 Waiting: 2/5 Taste: 3/5 Price: 3/5 Service: 3/5

One of our favorite places since 2007! The magnificent lagoon view never fails to make the place seem magical. Food is good as always, but it’s really interesting how they always have no electricity when we dine here (so shakes are out of the option)

Very nice location by the side of the lagoon. Excellent quality food and drinks and great service. This is a nice and relaxing romantic venue.

Edit from 5 to 2 stars.. my bottle of whiskey can't be found.. last time here on Dec 25, 2024..left my bottle a few months back.. Super cold beers! Wish they can bring back Baguio Craft beers on their menu though...all time favorite Filipino food and an open srea for dining with a lagoon view..love it! Plus they're open 24hrs (i think)...staff are super friendly Latest pics Dec 20,2023

Had a working lunch in one of their cabanas. The breeze and the ambience were so relaxing. Food was good and very satisfying. I like how the cabanas provided the privacy I needed to do my work.

Hadn't planned to go here but glad we did. Food was good, nice location and open very late.

This place is sensational, especially if you are an expat. I mean, none of us want to go back to CCA, communist country of Australia anyway. Come here once, you won't want to go back either

Hot Girls not friendly Not worth the hassle

Very nice open bar with view on the street. Girls are nice and funny but you can not barfine them. Excellent music and great atmosphere. Local beers this month only 55p! A must go!

Ok bar, view of the street. Hard to get a beer. Waitresses are very complacent. Too much time on TikTok or something on their phones

Staff are often too busy chatting in groups amongst themselves or on their phones to notice customers waiting for a drink.

Good hangout cheap cold beer, but the girls pester you for drinks..NOTE, it has moved from where google maps is showing, it's approx 50 meters west from the Google location..

Good place to hang out food and drinks good price

Cheap beers but not good girls they're busier at eating or sleeping at the bar than serving customers and bad attitude of girls no respect to girlfriend or wife that's with foreigner as long as they can get drinks. Bad management the manager doesn't care if the waitress is disrespectful to the customers . And if you're not really smoking it's not a good place to drink cause everyone is smoking so you'll be the second smoker which gives you headaches and dizziness pretty boring but good music if you love music girls are fat and got an ugly attitude not friendly at all

One of Subic Freeport's older restaurants, they serve good food and a nice selection of cocktails. I thought they still had craft beer so was quite dissapointed they didn't have them anymore. Relaxed ambiance and ample parking..

The ambience is nice, best if you want a speakeasy, cosy type of bar. They have live piano music, not sure though if it's every night. We went Saturday night. We were just a bit disappointed with the service and some of the food. The chips that came with our fried chicken wings looked and tasted like it has been left for hours. Not crispy and tough to chew. We were not really hungry so we didn't bother requesting a replacement. Other foods we ordered were okay. The service is a bit disappointing too. The table buzzer doesn't work. We had to follow up requests several times. Not sure if it was a "busy" evening for them, but I've seen way busier bars keeping up with customer orders and requests. It's not a big place too (hence the cosy comment). Overall, it's a good place to drink, eat, and chill with friends or family.

Beef is must try esp. Tadyan/ fillet mignon/ Salpicao.. Hokkaido oyster is also great. Cocktails are amazing. The band show is impressive. Worth a visit in SMBA.

We asked for a red wine n the server showed us a bottle of red from Chile, it looks OK so we ordered a bottle only to be given a different bottle so we ended up ordering San mig light and mixed drinks. We ordered lumpiang shanghai, No longer available! It was not even 9 pm. We tried another appetizer, boneless dilis, Not available as well... No calamares. We ended up drinking n talking. Glad we just had dinner at the Blue rock. So disappointing!

Definitely overrated and not at all as I expected it to be. I was very disappointed after reading what had appeared to be good reviews. I was there with a business client and it was just the two of us in the restaurant initially and yet our meals were served 20 minutes apart...terrible table service and obviously a disorganized kitchen. Food likewise was bland. The place is also worn and doesn't look anywhere near as close to the ambience that the photos lead you to believe. Overall, a very disappointing dining experience.

I always come here for tapas and finger food/ bar food. My go to is always the sisig and the cerviche. Nice ambience with good live music that's not too loud so that I can still have a conversation with friends. Although staff turnover seems to be high but most of them are quite friendly and helpful

Went there twice and love the paella its really good for 2 to 3 person. Seafood on Paella just very fresh just the chicken taste a bit blend. Oyster taste really fresh, highly recommend that. Waiter is quite friendly as well. Overall good services and good food will come again next time.

The food was good. It was lunch time on a Saturday but not busy. The service was quick. They need to give attention to cleanliness. It shouldn't be hard to sweep the floors or wipe the walls in the CR.

NOT recommended at all. Waste of time and money. We ordered pork chop, pasta, and baked oysters. The baked oysters look spoiled and already have a smell. The waiting time is ridiculous. We waited for almost 2 hours for the food that's not even edible. The atmosphere is almost good but the phone kept ringing for more than 30 mins and the staff is ignoring it intentionally even after we told them. If you wannna have a good time in Subic, avoid this place.

A popular seafood restaurant that offers alfresco dining. they serve a variety of seafood dishes and reasonably priced breakfast meals. staff are friendly and accommodating. healthy protocols are strictly practiced. A must try when in Subic.

Prices are reasonable. It's clean. Food quality and quantity is not bad for the price. Perhaps the girl at the bar can equip herself with proper or hospitality industry decorum and refrain from profanity or using offensive/vulgar language and to watch her tone and voice, being mindful that customers/diners can actually hear her. It's an open restaurant where you have a view of the ocean and its in front of the park. I will come here again as there are only few restaurants in the area with live music and really cold beer.

Food is terrible, calamaries is like rubber and shrimp popcorn doesn't taste like shrimp, inihaw na Tuna Belly is terrible as well. What is unavailable in the menu for the seafood menu is oyster, salmon belly, pusit I order this three and not available... so what a seafood restaurant without seafood. From the taste of the calamaries and the shrimp can taste that it is frozen instead of fresh. NOT RECOMMENDED this place, Food is extremely terrible. Even a lots of fruit juice is unavailable as well, ordered a fresh buko instead. Hopefully they will improve on this... bad food experience.

The customer service was excellent and you can take reservations online but I'm sorry to say that THE FOOD ISN'T GOOD BECAUSE EVERYTHING WAS COLD WHEN IT WAS SERVED. It seems like the food was cooked in the morning. You can really tell it wasn't fresh. I'm sorry to say that we really didn't enjoy our time there and we do not recommend this place.

Waste of money and time. Although we read ahead the negative reviews we still gave this place a chamce but so dissapointed. The portion is so small doesn't match the price. We ordered sinigang na hipon which is very salty and sour. The lechon is overcook and the tunabelly is so chewy Food takes soo long to get served even the extra rice takes 30min. Will never go back here again.

Spend several weeks in the Barrio Beretta and always included a nightly stop at the Alaska Club. Great owner, Great music selection, Very cold beer and free popcorn. Lovely staff especially Alexa! Thanks and will return.

Popular and well visited place. Efficient staff

Good place, pool table friendly girls, popcorn, one thing that i appreciate a lot is you can choose the music and its not too loud, had good time

Last night at the pool tourny, there absolutely was cheating. Jerry was saying the pool players were randomly picked by computer and yet he was caught assigning names to whom he wanted when he thought no one was watching. We have it on video. So please don't waste your time playing pool tournaments there. The cheating is coming from the owner himself ( who also plays in the tournaments) not the other pool players. Such a shame to see an adult act like that. Very disappointed 😡😡😡😡😡

Nice little bar to relax drink and play pool,,cold beer and hot woman ,,good music

8 ball tournament every Sunday night, 9 ball every Wednesday night. Always fun. Super friendly owner.

Great bar, ice cold beer, good music and attentive staff. One of my favourite watering holes.

it was fun but they weren't many people there on Tuesday night.

Party People
