Tiki Bar — Restaurant in Dumaguete

Pretty cool place to visit whether you’re a local or a tourist. We went on a Wednesday, but if you’re a female go there on a Thursday cause it females nights which has free entry and a drink card. If you go any other night before 11pm it’s free but when we came on Wednesday at 11.20pm we had to pay 100p each which gave us entry and a drink card. Upstairs is normally open but this night the owners had closed it off for themselves to dance. Downstairs was still pretty cool and even outside on the deck is quite chill to hang with mates, smoke and drink there which doesn’t cost entry. You can also buy those big containers to self pour and buckets with spirits and ice for you to pour yourself as well. The Dj we had that night was pretty cool and played music from the latest songs of that year all the way back to spice girls lol which we loved. We went with all girls and felt that there was enough security on that night to make sure no one felt unsafe, however we also noticed a lot of people had passed out on the tables they were sitting at with friends due to drinking too much but weren’t kicked out - so I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not, but all in all we had a...

Fun bar, very affordable. Mixed Drinks are pretty weak. It is best to get your own bottle and coke with a bucket of ice. Snacks are great, mood is very chill.

The main issue this place has it what most Djs in the Philippines have. They play the same old played out songs. Literally every single place (unless you go to the Chinese owned spots in Manila) are playing old Miley Cyrus, kesha, and black eyed peas songs. It's like the DJs have never heard of new music or the latest jams

It wouldn't be as much of an issue if the Djs knew how to properly mix the songs together, but they don't. They'll play a high bpm song for 22 seconds and then push "it's raining in manila" or some other love ballad killing the vibe. Or go from a great hip hop song to some white girl pop that clashes with the previous song. Please find better DJs and Tiki would be #1...

We visited the Tiki Bar as a recommendation for a bit of a night-out and we came earlier, they had an event that lasted until 10 PM. We went in after the event has finished and they had several choices of drinks that is I guess is similarly priced to other bars. I actually quite liked the DJ during that time, he was dropping amazing beats and does cool transitions. Never fails to switch between new and classic songs so it keeps the energy going for both young ones and us a bit oldies (charot we are not that...
