Sabang Bars and Restaurants

13° 31.2′ N · 120° 58.5′ E

Sabang's tight strip of bars, dive-resort restaurants and late-night clubs - the liveliest night out on Mindoro, with floating bars moored just off the beach.

Practical

Position: OSM 'Big Apple Bar & Restaurant' in the centre of the strip. Big Apple and Capt'n Gregg's are long-standing fixtures (OSM; PGYC). Scandi Divers describes Sabang bars, clubs and discos that stay open all night, including a 24-hour bar and a couple of 'girly bars'. PGYC: floating bars about 100 m offshore are a good swim spot; a 2017 SmarterTravel piece describes a decorated floating bar boat cruising offshore at sunset and the local Mindoro Sling (rum, red fruit juice and Sprite). Names and hours change - verify locally. Get back to the moorings by tricycle to Muelle - no documented yacht anchorage off Sabang.
