Mango's & Subic Bay History

Hit Counter

  

Mango’s was established in 1994, two years after the US military bases left the Philippines. We have a Subic Bay beachside bar and restaurant that features delicious food from around the word. Seafood burritos, huevos rancheros, tandori chicken, eggs benedict and mixed grills are house favorites. Nightly specials feature treats from the South China Sea whenever these are available and quality beef, chicken and pork when they are not.

This beach bar boasts a family setting where children are encouraged and welcomed. Mango, banana and pineapple shakes  are always available. We also have a complete line of ice cream products and host frequent weekend  ‘kid’ birthday parties complete with clowns. 

For the big 'kids', our Rock Lobster Disco (inside  Mango’s complex) kicks off nightly at 6 PM. The name originates from a saloon we had when the military bases were here. Rock Lobster was a Barrio Barretto institution from 1986 until 1992.  This room features classic rock & roll with some intermittent dance mixes to get the juices flowing. We have a frozen margarita machine that helps some too. Our decorations follow our seasons including Valentines Day,  summer,  rainy season,  4th of July,  Halloween  and Christmas.

Our busiest season runs from November through May. Volleyball is a weekly passion on our beach during this period. Fridays and Sundays you can find the regulars getting some workouts.  Barrio Barretto also has a Sunday and Thursday bar billiard league, Wednesday dart league and Saturday horseshoe league.  Local boat owners frequent our beachfront offering hourly and daily boat rentals.

Food, drink, swimming, sports, parties and more are just part of what we offer.  Next time your in the Subic Bay area please stop by.  You'll be glad you did.

About Subic Bay

Subic has one of, if not thee most unspoiled environments in the entire archipelago.  While Philippine forests were being leveled and harvested during the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, the American military was preserving Subic’s.  It is a totally intact, ancient, triple canopy rainforest.  Like the jungles, the US Navy and Marines protected the waters around Subic.  Dynamite and cyanide fishermen knew the ocean around the naval base was heavily patrolled.  Once the United States left Subic, the new Subic Bay administrators took the necessary steps to continue the preservation.  So today these areas are recreational meccas. It is what separates Subic Bay from much of the rest of the country and the primary reason people visit the area.  

Thanks to Sgt. H. James Holub , USMC Ret. for linkage to his Subic Bay History web site.
