When the sun is gone, the busier bars in town are filled with travelers just relaxing, enjoying the music, and having a good time. If you come in early, the happy hour often begins at 4:00 pm and ends at 6:00 or 7:00 pm. The bars we’ve selected below have the right crowd, great vibe, chill music, and, of course, awesome drinks! Don’t forget the drinks.
SAVA Beach Bar

This bar is one of the most recommended along El Nido Beach. You can hangout in one of the bean bags and enjoy the soft breeze and the sound of lapping waves. Try the best-sellers SAVA Sensation and English Fizz. All drinks can be turned into mocktails for non-drinkers. Recommended bites include SAVA fries, garlic parmesan chicken wings, and nachos. Sava offers different flavors of shisha too.
Outpost
