That burned-out building was C' Italian restaurant. They moved to Clark after the fire.

Garfield Bar was there before 1988. The fence line across the street was the 'side' fence, not the back fence. It was for the Clark View and Friendship gates.

Here is what I remember about Fields avenue from my time (Feb 1989- Oct 1991). Just outside what was then Friendship gate, there was a bar called the "Hot Club" where we went on Tuesday nights to watch reruns of Monday night football. There was a great place to eat called the Chili Pot just across the street. I don't remember all of the bars on Fields avenue but as you headed towards the main gate on Fields, there was a little county bar called the Wagon Wheel that had a live band on the weekend. I was never a fan of the loud crowded bars where GI's acted like assess so I hung out in the smaller places. I also frequented Garfields. A the time is was a small place with a small bar, juke box, and about three pool tables. There was also a bar called "Buster Hymen". Also, just outside the main gate on Fields, there was a huge bar called "Maverick City". This was a popular starting point on Friday's for the ville run. Beer was 25 pesos for happy hour. I remember the bar you were asking about but can't remember the name. I believe you walked through the arches and down a sidewalk lined with monkey's in cages and then back to the bar area. There was also a large bar on Fields where at the "brothers" hung out but I can't remember the name. The one time I went in, they were playing Ice Ice bay. I didn't stay long. I really miss the way it was, It has so much personality. Now it is Vegas in the PI.

Here is a real story: went to a resort and rented moto bike from a shop by the port. Left my drivers license as a deposit. They wanted passport by I said no as we need it for the hotel. When I came back to return the motorbike - guess what....the girl at the shop told me this is not their motorbike and they don't have my DL 😮😮😮. Apparently the shop is operated by multiple people and bikes are owned by different people too. Sat there while they were calling to find out who has my DL. Appeared the moto bike owner who took my license is now working on a ship somewhere but his uncle would come soon and bring my DL back. And yes later that day his uncle brought my DL to the hotel. Good thing I was not leaving that same day and could stay and wait. But never never again I would leave anything.

I rented a bike there in Angeles once. However, they asked me to leave my passport. I felt very uncomfortable about it, so I never rented a bike after that. I agree with you that you shouldn't be leaving your passport with these guys. The other thing is I think you have 30 days to operate a motorized vehicle in the Philippines after arrival. How will you prove this without your passport if you get pulled over?

Prime Real Estate used to be 3 or 4 low-end bars across the street from Garfield's. After that, the long building were concession stalls for furniture, art gallery, cloths, leather accessories, fruit and vegetable shops before they too were converted into bars after 1990.

@egovorch Ай бұрын

Right before you get to that CNBC Bar, there is door. As weird as it may seem, there is an expat that lives in there. It looks like it is a old boarded up bar, but he has it all fixed up inside it just looks all beat up from the outside. I have seen him walk in there several times and I finally asked him if that was his place or not....he said it was....who knew!

I wish my attempt to move there back in 2022 went better. Every person I met it seemed was trying to scam me somehow. Took about six weeks before I was on a plane back to the states. The rental scam that resulted in the police evicting me from a condo that I signed a lease with the owner’s cousin who apparently had no permission to do so was the last straw.

No actually they were open and operating 2010 the property across from Garfield's also called on fire the wiring and some of those places were crazily bad with each new owner they would just run new wiring and not fix the old stuff hence why a lot of them burnt down over the years, the next grouping of stalls we're originally just retail stalls when the base was still there then after the base left and the eruption of the volcano they started putting the little bars in the stalls. But perimeter Road back during the military days and up until around 2010 was a lot of action there was another grouping of bars next to Clarkton Hotel one of them was called Lost in Asia I loved going there back in the day.
