Pukka Bar — Restaurant in El Nido

Okay, I am forced to write about my experience because of the rudeness of the owner who cannot take criticism. I had the "privilege" to visit this bar during my stay in El Nido for 2 days. The music here was really "amazing" and didn't force me to almost cut my ears off!! All I needed was some beer and red wine to enjoy this moment and that was really "easy" to get to without getting stamped on or shoved around by some "nice" people(with two working eyes😑). And of course, when i finally reached the bartender, i was pleased to know that they don't have any beer or red wine, After this, i decided to sit near the beach outside and enjoy the atmosphere. But this was cut short when a "delightful" stranger found it necessary to give me some drunk advice about enjoying my life.. just like the owner 's reply. And that was it... I wasn't able to take in so much enjoyment and had to leave this "esteemed bar" with nothing but "happy" memories!! Would "love" to...

Went to dine here with former work mates and friends on a Sunday last Feb 12, 2023 during our trip to El Nido. I didn't get to take many photos of the place. It looks like they were at a different location before and relocated here and just recently opened again but I am unsure of that. The food had generous portions and worth just the price. I ordered the steak (forgot the complete dish name) and it was tender much to my amazement and liking. There is a bar downstairs the restaurant but it wasn't opened yet. There is a live reggae band performance for customers and patrons. The place felt a bit warm but the wind was also chilly outside, probably because it is not yet summer time. I liked the place design and food overall and we had fun taking pictures with the devolution backdrop outside. Easy to spot location, just beside the road. It is also just walking distance to several hotels and accomodations...

We visited in the morning/afternoon after coming off of the ferry. We both felt terrible from seasickness - splitting headaches and barely standing. We stumbled into this first restaurant near our hotel and they were very nice in letting us be and serving food quickly.

They even graciously turned down the music for us since we were basically the only ones there. The view in the day is really spectacular. Most of the pictures here are at night, but you get to see the water sparkle and people watch on the winding hill. Great breeze and decor on the 2nd floor.

Apparently this place is known for music and drinking haha so we are extra thankful they accommodated us with no questions asked. Food tasted good. It was not the best we've had in Palawan and was pricier, but that seems normal for a party...
