CRKBest of IgoUgo

Overview

This was once where US Clark Air Force Base before being abandoned from a volcano eruption. Pristine American 1950s, muscle cars abandoned/left behind from the US servicemen can be seen here, sometimes racing them. Some expats have retired here.

One block north of Fields Avenue, running parallel along the same length are for the local Filipino market a long string of small videoke bars each one about the size of a garage open and blaring out loud distorted music with video drowning out each other. I put on ear plugs to lessen the distorted noise while walking through here as they stared at us apparently the non-Filipino apparently doesn't bother to walk down this street. We were in the area attempting to find a jeepney for Fields Avenue westbound direction, we observed jeepneys going eastbound.

Quick Tips:

Angeles City Bars map. The girls working in the girly bars must be 18 and are tested weekly for diseases vs. the ones off the street which aren't tested.

Best Way To Get Around:

Jeepneys are common and a popular way moving about their routes, for hire motorized tricycles with a licensed four digit number prominently displayed for hire. Don't take one without the licensed four digit number, else you may end up in a situation you'd regret.

Sub DeliciousBest of IgoUgo

Restaurant

Sub Delicious
Sub Delicious is a 24 hour cafe offering sandwiches, pizza, and desserts. They make a huge pizza that requires two people to move it. They make bread loaves for sale. I ordered their Philly Cheese steak sandwich which was just alright, nothing special.

Zapata'sBest of IgoUgo

Restaurant

Zapata's serves the best and "authentic" Mexican cuisine here in Angeles City according to our host. I ordered their fish dish but it was acceptable but not outstanding. Credit cards accepted.

Doll HouseBest of IgoUgo

Attraction

Doll House
Doll House may be one of the best places to go for lots of good looking girls dancing on stage and have some life to their dancing overall. Sometimes they will serve snack food. If you're interested in taking one of the girls off, pay the off fee and whatever you may arrange. Suggest bringing earplugs for the overly loud music and condoms in case you do engage.

Honky TonkBest of IgoUgo

Attraction

Honky Tonk is a simple little bar of the non-go go variety with no wall facing Santos Street with a staff of at least six girls that seem to drape themselves over each customer as they enter this establishment. Popular with expats of different nationalities including Brits, Norwegians, Swedes.

Buying a girl a drink is PHP150, which they get a portion of for each drink. It's their job and livelihood to put you at ease, they're quite friendly and after a little while, if you want to take them, a short time (ST) room for business is available on the premise to take a girl, PHP600 for a short time, PHP1200 for a longer time or overnight. It's better for Mama-san if the girls to stay on the premises vs. going off premises, so when they're done with you, they become available again right away for the next customer. I had a fun and very enjoyable time even without going for a short time. Bring condoms to be prepared.

Their appeal may drop off significantly if you were to just observe them turning over customers going in and out of the ST rooms.

Alaska ClubBest of IgoUgo

Attraction

Alaska Club
Alaska Club, is another beer and girly bar place where there's seating outside to people watch onto passersby on Fields Avenue or go inside with seating along the walls and a long elevated stage where the girls dance on stage. They played one song, which I really got into, the girls encouraged me to come on stage and danced with them. We had a good time.

CamelotBest of IgoUgo

Attraction

Camelot, another girly bar among many on Fields Avenue, Balibago area. This one has video monitors playing music videos with girl dancers on stage dancing to its music. They played some hot Latino music which had the place jumping hot. A Mama-san is observed observing her girls serving us drinks, overseeing the girls on stage repositioning them to even out the spacing between the dancers.
