Southeast Asian Games (Part I)

The Philippines hosted the SEA Games in late Nov/early Dec 2019 with events in both Manila and Angeles City. I was there for a different type of game. This review of La Bamba is a composite review from early November through the first days of December. Southeast Asian Games (Part II) is a separate review of the Lollipop bar.

La Bamba is a bar/club on Walking Street which is the heart of the Angeles City Entertainment District that actually covers a few square miles along Don Jucio (perimeter) Road. Walking Street itself is Fields Ave but at about 5 PM everyday they do a sweep to get all the trikes and delivery trucks off the street and turn it into pedestrian only which is where the name Walking Street comes from. It is a street almost entirely made up of bars/clubs, large and small, dives and high end show clubs virtually all of which feature women for hire day and night, especially night but you can always find something open 24/7.

Right up front I should say that La Bamba is one of my regular clubs. I’ve been going there for years and will normally make a stop at least four or five times per week so if this sounds like a club ad, well guess what. I don’t make a habit of going back to clubs that I don’t like so this will be a generally positive review.
