Posts: 525Subic
Just got back from Subic. I was able to meet up with a few bar manager friends of mine and had a great time as usual with them.
I tried and failed with Barbie from Lollipop. Not her type or something I guess. The manager there said he just lets her do whatever she pleases. That is fine but I don't see myself spending much time in there. Don't want to dwell on the negative stuff much so on to my report.
I think I'm one of a select few of people that have had a beer on the side of the highway somewhere between AC and Subic. Our left rear tire blew at about 2.30 am after driving from the NAIA terminal and we didn't get it fixed until an hour later. Finally arrived in Baretto at 4.30 am. Thank fuck I had the foresight to have a few girls pick us up to begin with or it would have been a very boring first day. Mine was 21 or 22 from Samar. Very willing to stay with me and I had her a few days in a row to reward that.
I'm not going to say where I stayed as I don't want the place to get in trouble with the authorities. And it seems that the troubles in AC might just be spreading to Subic.
Bars I went to this time: Dusk till dawn, Wetspot, 20/20, Cocolips, Rapscallion, Rum Jungle, Bucaneer, and a few others.
The best floater was probably Arizona's as the other one had really rough waves coming over it. We only stayed for one beer there. Arizona floater was just fun from the get-go. The girls were not pestering us much for drinks and we decided to just let it get a bit crazy. My mate was jumping off the side and coming back in for a beer. Great times!
Dusk till Dawn was ok I guess. Didn't see any special talent so we kinda just left it at that and moved on. Wetspot is great. They have NO barfines there so theres no point in discussing that. A very smart move in my opinion. Rang the bell a few times and really enjoyed my time talking to the bloody hockey maniac there. He knows who he is.
20/20 was a mixed bag. When we first went there both myself and my mate found two really hot girls and were quite impressed with them. It was probably about 20 past six when we walked in there and we intended to hit Cocolips but it wasnt open yet. So we made do with 20-20. The two girls were probably 8's out of 10. At least that was my assessment. Later in the week we went back to see if they were there. It was after midnight and Monday to boot. So they were off / already gone. I was running out of options and had to settle for ROMA as she called herself. Don't bother with this girl. EXTREMELY bad attitude. Cut everything short and wanted to go asap. She might have the fullname of ROMALIE or something like that. Anyway, avoid her. This bar offers bar fines. I was told 1500. Your mileage there with the girls WILL vary. I'm not saying they are all like this Roma chick.
Cocolips changed from what it was before. I found they kept the staff and were very accommodating. The mama there is a cool lady and I was glad to buy her a few drinks. She never asked me. My friend really likes that bar and we rang the bell a few times because we wanted to. It is probably the cheapest in Subic at 1500 peso and all the girls come and say thank you. In my case it was a kiss on the cheek as well. They still have the same hotdogs which as GREAT.
Rapscallion...I should have spent more time there. Great line up. And the manager is cool. But somehow we ended up elsewhere. I really hit the booze hard this time and it affected my girl stuff. Damn!
Rum Jungle was really good. Especially on the SOB event night. I've never seen so many HOT girls together like that in one big bar. Good gravy! The stuff dreams are made of!
If you want decent no hassle drinks and food hit up the Generals Command post. The staff there are all wonderful. And Ill be dreaming of those tacos for ages to come. YUM!

Posts: 178Subic vs AC
Looking back a few posts I saw a few posters describing this as a hidden gem and an alternative to AC.
I went to Subic to get away from some of the crazies hassling me at AC and wanted to get out of town. One of them texted me on the morning of my departure warning me not to go as the titties were smaller and girls were uglier out that way. It didn't take long for me to realise she had a point.
There were fewer bars (and the bars seemed smaller (there were no big bars there). I am generally picky and had been to several bars and was disappointed with the quality. I was ready to give up when I went to the bar at the bottom of my hotel (rascals) for a last drink. Found a 24 YO who was a little drunk and all over me. She said it was her first week there, and I believe her. I managed to get a BBBJ in the club after 1 DLD while the dancers were watching me from stage. Didn't take long for me to pay the 1500 p and go upstairs.
She turned out to be my favorite barfine of the whole trip. Kept her for 3 days. Wasn't hassled by friends / cousins / sisters. She gave me her full attention. And was most accommodating.
Other than that everything seemed cheaper in Subic. From drinks to barfines to shopping. Also much less beggars and street vendors. The beach was okay but not much compared to what can be seen elsewhere.
Swagmans had a minibus going there for 500 p from Angeles.

Posts: 178I just got back from Subic, stayed at the Pub hotel as the location was in the center of the action and rated reasonably well on tripadvisor.
The room was nice and had air conditioning. I did have to walk 2 flights of stairs to get to my room and there was no elevator. Wasn't a big issue when I was following my barfines ass up those stairs.
The odd thing about this place was that you had to keep handing your key back to reception every time you left the room. It had a room safe and nothing was stolen, however, I've never had to do this before.
I was also unfortunate enough to stay there during a 12-hour power outage. The taps don't work during the outage and without any fans or aircon, you get sweaty and smelly quickly. They did get generators a couple of times during the day and I eventually showered but it wasn't the most pleasant of days and I was very tired by night time.
Whilst I wouldn't mind staying there again, I'd probably try somewhere else out if I visit again.

Posts: 3280thoughts on Mangrove or Court Meridian Hotels
I am going to Subic for the first time in June for 3 nights. I would like a nice hotel with a non-smoking room. I also may be bringing a couple of girls from AC and am wondering if that would be any issues with the hotel. Thanks for your information on this.

Just in case nobody's mentioned it here yet, the new iCove along the strip in BB is pretty decent. Kind of basic rooms but comfy, and brand new, and cheaper than you might expect from the lobby.

Posts: 903Observations of Barrio Barretto from Last Week
- Many/most barfines/tips seem to be 1500 pesos.
- Note my reviews are from Tuesday to Thursday. The bars get busy on the weekends.
- A few years ago, I thought the best overall bar was the Wet Spot. What happened? The bar moved. It was semi-dead. Alaska is now at the old location of the Wet Spot. It was also semi-dead.
- Overall, I thought the best bar was Lollipop.

the lowest price room, which faces the street, is 2950 pesos (price you get from their website or the walk-in price; slightly cheaper than agoda).
decent bed, great pillows, clean, decent wood furniture/trim, large tv, inroom safe, nice pool, nice view from the pool area, and easy access to barrio barretto (with trike or a short walk).
cons: bathroom could be better. shower drain wasn't good. wi-fi was shitty; it was spotty and/or bad.
read the reviews on tripadvisor. the score would be better if you ignore the ones that gave bad reviews because it was in a sleazy area (no shit!)

food was a bit pricey, but there are plenty of other options like the blue rock, (btw, rooms there weren't too nice though). both have floating bars which can be fun, blue rock's is considerably larger.
one word of caution if you do stay there, watch when you're walking around the bed. it's on a concrete pedestal and you're likely to bang your toe or foot into it; painful as all hell. i think everyone who has ever stayed there, including me, has done it at least once, lol.
