Things to do in Naga

  1. Kadlagan Outdoor Shop & Climbing Wall

    For gear rental, guides and tips on hiking and climbing, Kadlagan Outdoor Shop & Climbing Wall is the place to go. Shop owner Jojo Villareal is a wealth of information, knows all the local rocks and routes (and won’t recommend those he thinks are overused) and is usually here in the evenings. He can organise guides for hikes up Mt Isarog and occasionally takes groups to the Caramoan Peninsula.

  3. Lolo’s Music Bar

    On the 2nd floor of Avenue Sq, Lolo’s Music Bar is a cool bar with plenty of room to breathe, and live music from 9pm. It caters to a mature crowd, but frowns on shorts and sandals.

    Star Mark is a combo of coffee shop with food, bar and wi-fi; it’s a popular and relaxed meeting place. Nearby, Mud Bugs is a busy sports bar with pool tables.

  5. Wharf Galley

    Bills itself as a ‘rock cafe’ with live music every night, an acoustic night on Wednesday, and – unusually – mostly original music rather than covers from the performers.

  7. Club M8

    This disco sees dance-happy revellers carousing till the wee hours, especially on weekends. Caters to a younger crowd; dress to impress.
