FIESTA SIDE
Cebu City drinks late because it works late — the call-centre shift pattern keeps Cebu IT Park busy at hours other Philippine cities are asleep — while the alternative evening is a table on the hills above Lahug with the city laid out below.
Cebu IT Park, Lahug
The main after-dark cluster: bars, late-opening restaurants and food stalls packed into a compact business park, kept alive by BPO workers on night shifts, so weeknights are busier here than almost anywhere else in the city.

Anzani
Mediterranean restaurant at Panorama Heights on Nivel Hills in Lahug, up the road towards Busay. The point is a long dinner with the view down over the city; book ahead and take a taxi or ride-hail, as it is a climb.

Larsian sa Fuente
Open-air charcoal barbecue hall beside Fuente Osmeña: you pick raw skewers, hand them over to be grilled, and eat them with rice in banana leaf at a plastic table. Cash only, cheap, and busy long after the restaurants have closed.

Mango Square and General Maxilom Avenue
The city's old club strip. Several of its venues have closed and the crowd has largely shifted to IT Park, so it is worth checking what is actually open on the night rather than turning up expecting the strip of ten years ago.

Crossroads, Banilad
Small open-air complex of bars and restaurants north of the centre, quieter and more residential than IT Park, with live music at some of the venues. Good if you want a conversation rather than a queue.
