I'm giving this bar 4 of 5 stars because it's actually the closest thing one can get from a real…read morebar experience. Upon entry, you will be greeted by the bouncer who also serves as the ticket seller. Door fee is php80 with free drink (our that time was between rhum coke and vodka sprite, we chose the latter). Don't expect too much from the mix. Ours didn't taste like vodka sprite but for the price you pay, it's hard to fault the bar for offering sub-standard versions. Inside is a squarish-area with low ceiling. That made the place look smaller than it really is. The bar is to the left while the dj booth is on the right. There are several tall tables and quite a number of smaller ones. These are all for free as long as you get in early. I was told that they invite guest DJs every Saturday and the one playing that night was superb. Tunes are mostly Billboard Top 100 remixes. The crowd is a motley combination. There are locals (very easy to spot as they usually dress laid back), old, creepy foreigners, young foreigners, and college students. The older foreigners get in quite drunk so they're rowdier and creepier than normal. The club follows a strict dresscodes for men. No Sando / Sleeveless, no slippers. Shorts are okay though. Oh and you're only allowed to smoke outside. All in all, it was a pleasant experience. Definitely a step towards the right direction for Dumaguete. I just wish they can jack the price some more so unsavory locals can't get in and mess up the otherwise good crowd. I guess that's hard to do in Dumaguete where people are probably used to paying a smidge for almost everything.

Spindrift is a true cocktail bar, it's a Philippine karaoke (videoke) bar, it's a decent…read morerestaurant, also. I've been here before. I need to spread the word about how great this place is. It's only been around for a year or two. I was shocked to see there was no Yelp reviews on this place, yet. Service - fully professional. Great service. I've never ordered something here that they were out of (common at some local places here). Drinks - this is a real bar. All the well known brands, many cocktails on the menu. Several cocktails you've maybe never heard of. If they don't have it, they'll try to make you happy. I was impressed that their margarita was basically a true skinny, no sugar at all. Just Quervo, triple sec, calamansi lime juice. But, this bar, like most in the Philippines, serves a cocktail with almost no ice in a martini sized glass. Food - nice menu - the sizzling sisig is fantastic. I was expecting more from the more expensive sizzling beef on a previous visit, but it was not even close to the quality of the sisig. My cast iron plate was hot enough to fully cook the egg on my sisig plate. It really was excellent. Karaoke - this is pretty typical locally to have a midi videoke machine. These are not sweet backing tracks. But, it's a good system with a wide selection. I have several favorite places in Tagbilaran City, Bohol. But, Spindrift has become my true number one favorite.

Fun to watch the pizza crust hand tossed in true Italian style. we had the meatlovers pizza which had a perfect balance of toppings and crust. Next night had the cheese burger and was quite surprised by the big size for the price, and delicious again. Also the cold beer ( and ice glasses for us) was also one of the best deals. The service was friendly and attentive. Always a smile. Will be are goto restaurant while we are here!!

Though I am not a local, I've literally been coming here for 20+ years when I'm home in Dumaguete. This place I also associate with home because my grandma's house was literally two doors down and we would come here to eat. This place will always share a special piece of my heart as my dad would frequent this place and eat here everyday when he was staying next door. For years my dad would bring his guests here and they would not disappoint. If you want good food, and even better company - rest assured you'll find it here. Shout to the staff and management who cared for my dad, Dodong Manny Garcia, as their own and fed him well. The Garcia family loves this place! Ambiance: you can bring a date, your family, or party with your friends on their live music nights. This place is poppin' and clean. I feel safe here - their bathrooms are clean and their service is excellent. the beautiful thing about this place is that it can even host big parties. We've even had tables of 16+ people accommodations for us. Seating: You have plenty of choices. Downstairs by the stage. Upstairs with a great view of the beach.Bar seating. And even indoor seating in Lab-as. Take your pick! Food: Tapsilog always a fave. They have extremely fresh fish and sell it by the pound. It is soooo tasty I cannot. I love their LapuLapu and an all-around fave is the Bangus lumpia. Fresh mango shakes and calamansi are a must. Alcohol: Take your pick. They have top shelf and local beer. They make extravagant drinks with flames and everything! Drinks here are IG worthy alongside the food. You will go home well fed and nourished. Parking: Be smart about it - there's a lot in the front that people are willing to help park (you're expected to tip) and even better it's not so clustered like it is in South point... this place literally giives you everything you need! Do yourself a favor and stay awhile...enjoy this place and Hayahay through the night because you will be more than impressed by this place. It is a must go to in Dumaguete!

The only thing I disliked was I had to peel them and the head was still attached. Most seafood eaters do not care, but I like my shrimp already headless and peeled. This made it super messy because of the sauce, but they had a clean bathroom I was able to wash my hands in. This dish also did not include rice for some reason. The bf ordered honey pork ribs, which were also very tasty. His order came with fries, wedges, and a salad. A very good dinner choice for him along with some San Miguel. For me, a mango pineapple shake was sufficient, and very good. This restaurant is open and exposed to the outside. In the course of the meal 2 big fat flies kept bothering us so we were constantly swatting away. A cat and a dog also passed by inside. If you are not into that you probably should avoid. There is no AC here but some fans only if you're lucky enough to sit by it. To get an idea of the price, the prawns, ribs with sides, 2 beers and a shake were about 1600-1700 pesos. Pretty steep but at least the food lived up to the price.
