Angeles City Bars - Philippines

Owl's Nest (formerly Club Fantastic): Another bar left over from the base days. It's a large place with between 8 and 10 dancers, but the quality varies. Owner is an Aussie by the name of Terrence G. Matthews. It was renamed Owl's Nest 03/2003 following an NBI raid. "I'm going to have to give a big two thumbs down to the Owl's Nest in it's new incarnation. I was charged 60 pesos for a soda water during happy hour on the basis that happy hour did not apply to soda water. How lame can you get? Then the music stopped and for the next 15 minutes or so the girls just stood around. I left before the music restarted, if it ever did. My enquiries about why the music was off and when I could expect it to start only elicited a glazed eye look from the bartender and mamasan." Patrick (04/2003). "When I went in there were 4 dancers on stage and I was the center of attention. A few brave folks poked their heads in while I was there but beat a hasty retreat. I don't know if it was me or the girls. Probably me. Not much to recommend this bar at the moment." Propane Pete (05/2003)

The Other Bar: Closed. It was a GRO, Perimeter Road bar next to Zapata's Mexican Restaurant owned by Sgt Major John Hollis until his death on March 8, 2005.
