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.

It was cool, with the company I was keeping, just not as lively as I'm used to in America with more human interaction.

I have walked past this place for a couple of years and always noted how nice it looks on the…read moreinside. I went to check out the prices and it was not too bad. They had an option where you can rent the room minimum of three hours and it would allow you to use the room rate toward your consumables. I was a little confused about what consumables may be defined as. Is beer counted? Hard liquor? I was sure about food, but what about cigarettes? It is literally all inclusive of anything you can buy there. So I think the 1300 php for the three hours was a good deal. We had a group of nine of us and we didn't spend more than what we would have if we rented the room. Now, we were only drinking water but we all had dinner so I think they price is really good. The first room we went into didn't work. Seems like the place needs to put some money into repairs. They were also out of almost every item on the menu. We were constantly asking for items they didn't have...and we were trying to ignore the ones labelled as "out". So the selection was pretty skim. Not only do they have karaoke rooms, you can also rent movies or rent an Xbox room. Seems like a good time

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.
