Fusionx, nice photos of PI, I lived there for a short time while in the military. Brought back some great memories like 911 Driver. Looks like the bar scene around the old Naval base has really died down since I left in the early 90's. Funny, about 2 years ago I spoke to a guy who owned a bunch of those bars (name escapes me now) here in CR. Last time I spoke to him he was still operating them traveling to PI from CR. Good stuff, I hope you really enjoy your time there and the girls!
I was just there in February for a couple weeks, and yeah - the Olongapo bars are gone. There are bars in Olongapo proper, but they're 90% geared to the locals. No problem with that if you conduct yourself well, but it's not the same..
Barrio Barretto has all the action now. I used to love going to Barrio back in the day. I spent most of my time there between '83 and '91. We'd go to Subic City (now referred to as Calapandayan), grab a girl or three, then spend the day in Barrio, hit Magsaysay Drive for dinner and clubs, then back to Barrio for the night. What fun.
Subic City still has something like 8 bars open. Only three are really geared towards foreigners, but all of them can be fun. The local bars there are, IMHO, better than the foreigner bars. The locals never gave me any problems, but I stay low-key with the spending, and don't act the fool, etc. They will get upset if some gringo comes in and throws money around, is loud and obnoxious, etc. Subic City doesn't have the restrictions that Barrio has, so they have the "bold shows" with full nudity, peso shows, all that stuff. The only downside in these bars is the number of and quality of the girls. Most of the hotties go to Barrio, and the ones that choose Subic City are sometimes not too hot. But there can be cuties on occasion.
