Siargao · Nightlife

Beachfront Spanish restaurant and bar on Tourism Road in Barangay 5, General Luna, with cooking by chefs trained in Spain and happy hour from 3–6pm daily. It is one of the more grown-up places to start an evening.

Wood-fired pizza and Italian food at Purok 5 on Tourism Road, and a long-standing gathering point for the surf crowd. It fills up early in the evening, so put your name down before you want to eat.

The strip itself: most of the island's bars sit along a couple of kilometres of this road between the town and Cloud 9. The big night rotates by weekday between venues, so ask at your accommodation which one is on tonight.

Roadside charcoal barbecue in General Luna that opens in the evening: skewers priced by the piece, rice, plastic chairs, cash only. It is where most people eat either side of a night out.

General Luna is a small town, not a resort strip — there are no nightclubs, most places wind down well before 2am, and the roads are unlit and full of potholes. If you ride back at night, ride slowly and do not drink first.
