The Nightcrawl
Filipino’s love music and many are very talented. Every year thousands of Filipinos travel to other Asian
countries as musicians and singers. In the navy days musicians looked upon Olongapo as almost a Mecca. The
many clubs offered opportunities that were unmatched in any other part of the Philippines. If a band was lucky
enough to get a gig at a club on the base and the sailors like them, they might get a contract to tour military
clubs around Asia. Olongapo’s music venues have been the breeding grounds for some of Asia’s best
entertainment. Magsaysay drive is the center of it, then and now.
The Nightcrawl is an adoption of the British tradition of the Pub Crawl. A Pub crawl is a tour of some of the historical Pubs in London.
In this version we will take you to some of the nightlife along Magsaysay Drive. The tour departs from the Seahorse Tours and Souvenirs store at 8 pm. With your guide you will visit 4 local clubs spending about an hour in each, three have live music and one is a comedy club. A drink is included at each location. (Order the clubs are visited may change due to group size) A three-minute walk will bring us to the first stop, the Hard Rock Café Subic, Not apart of the world famous nightclub chain it is still a local favorite. The club represents itself as Pizzahaus and Restaurant but most people come for the entertainment. Known for its entertainment, the “Hard Rock” features two bands each evening. The bands may have different styles but play mostly soft rock music from a number of different decades and current top 40 hits.
The second stop is the
Brad’s Bistro a newly open club in May 2006,which is off to a flying start. Owned by the same group as Willis Concert Bar it shares many of the same features of that club. There are two bands nightly playing back to back supported by a state of the art sound system and light support. The club is a little on the small side but that adds to the feeling of being involved and close to the bands.
Magsaysay Drive yeah.
