O BAR - Philippines

“I didn’t try any food, though they do serve food here, and if you see the show about Angel Pizza you may be lucky enough to get a burger or slice IYKYK. A great selection of beer and spirits. If you like drag shows you Must visit, they have 3 shows, each 30-45 minutes long, it was a camp time.”

“we watched their gay pride event during our trip. worth it since we were able to experience live the drag ph winners. we would also like to experience their usual show next time we are in the city.”

My experience at O BAR was absolutely fantastic from beginning to end. The moment we walked through the doors, we were greeted by an incredibly friendly and welcoming staff who made us feel comfortable and appreciated throughout the entire evening. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and positive energy added so much to the overall experience. The food was surprisingly excellent and exceeded expectations. Every dish we ordered was flavorful, well-prepared, and served promptly. It's refreshing to find a venue that delivers both outstanding entertainment and genuinely great food. The entertainment was the true highlight of the night. The drag queens were phenomenal, bringing charisma, humor, glamour, and incredible stage presence to every performance. Their costumes were stunning, their performances were polished, and their ability to engage the audience created an electric atmosphere that kept everyone entertained from start to finish. The talented troupe deserves special recognition

This place is technically a gay bar, but it really feels like a top-tier entertainment venue first. The drag shows are world-class and the crowd energy is infectious! I loved the variety in the program—the segments with the male dancers were sexy but tasteful (not trashy at all), and the female singers showcased some serious vocal prowess. If you appreciate high-quality performance art and a great vibe, this is a must-visit.

Visited during a 12-hour layover in Manila as we always try to support LGBT venues / check out local drag talent. On the positive: the show was amazing. Very talented performers (both the queens and the “backing” dancers) and a real proper show of good length and variety. We have seen drag all over the world and this really was up there with the best. The cons… - Entrance is not cheap (more expensive than London) and is some bizarre system of entrance plus an additional “consumables” fee which is not explained on the door but rather repeatedly shouted at you - The entrance includes some drinks (we managed to gather either three beers or one cocktail). A waiter helped us with the first and then we had to gather that the subsequent drinks are obtained by finding that same waiter (in a packed bar) and relying on his memory about what drinks we were still entitled to. Bizarre. - The place was absolutely packed. Admittedly it was Pride (week?) but it was dangerously full. Given the show c

O Bar puts on a super fun show with energetic performances that are definitely entertaining. The door fee on weekends is ₱1,200, which includes either one cocktail or three beers. While the show itself was enjoyable, the overall ambience feels like it hasn’t changed much since I last visited a decade ago—it could use some refreshing to match the lively performances

Came here with my bf while visiting from Los Angeles. It’s kind of an awkward place and felt like a middle school prom. It’s mostly table service with people not really leaving their tables. So if you’re looking to socialize or to meet locals this isn’t the best. As someone from NYC I’d say the drag is kind of basic and lackluster but I know I’m biased because I am used to drag at the highest level. The service is very friendly and attentive and that’s the best thing it’s got going for it. Can’t say I’ll ever come back and probably wouldn’t recommend it to a friend because it just felt like mediocre dinner theater meant for a bachelorette party to enjoy. Also it’s cold as hell inside so bring a jacket.

I will probably not return to this place again. Even the show was good, and the service seemed excellent. I just can't accept the 2-tier system created at this place. You show up at the door just to discover some privileged crowds have a table (not that you paid less), but the rest of the visitors at the back are squished to see the show. I was not able to use my coupons given by staff at the door, just because it was overcrowded. I was watching straight people having their shots at the table, and being gay at the back, I felt this is nothing that represented gay equality. We left the place, and it was just sad Saturday night. Good for you, Obar, that you know how to make money.
