Lone Star Bar Review: Mango Avenue, Cebu – by Foreigner & The Chinese
Name : Lone Star, Cebu
Location : Around the back of Mango, Road running parallel behind, same side as Papillon and Dimples. Probably best just to get a Taxi, until you know where it is – then you could walk across from the main Mango bars, although the road there is a little dark and quiet, generally OK – but you could be unlucky if you met the wrong crowd or perhaps a pack of Dingos! Hmmm, second thoughts, get a taxi if alone.
Layout : 4/5 The bar has a reasonable amount of space and basically “horse shoes” around the main and “focal” stage area where three girls will normally be dancing simultaneously. You can sit right up at the bar that borders the entire edge of the “horse shoe”, so plenty of bar side seating available. Lots of Shelas (Ladies) all around and quick enough you’ll have a few over to talk to you if that’s what you want – once you have selected a specimen of choice, there are lots of little “cubby hole” type secret lounging spots dotted around where you can retreat from the hustle and bustle of the main bar for a little quiet and privacy. There’s a pool table at the far side of the bar that is usually busy. This really is a popular bar for westerners. Went there last Monday and it was packed, whilst most of the other bars were quiet. Auzzy owner knows how to keep westerners entertained and happy, so they come back like some human boomerang, some staying the evening, others like me just popping in for a smoko..
Price : 4/5 Cheap enough – Shelas drinks are around 170 mark, your drinks around 65 or so and bar fine is around 650 Peso, pay the girl separate or 1650 all in. For westerners, there is a kick butt food Menu and well priced. Everything I have tried on the menu has been good, so best you experiment yourself (Graham special Pizza is really nice, so is sea food special – but be adventurous). Be warned though, the chilly – whilst certainly being an ample portion and tasting good, does unfortunately pong like a but of a sweaty old sock (probably due to some parmesan I would have thought) – much to the amusement of the girls if they catch you ordering it, let alone eating it haha!
Management : 4/5 Australian Graham is a really friendly guy, definitely not a drongo oi and can can be found in the bar almost every night and makes the effort to chat to his customers, probably why so many of them come back and why, even though Lone Star is off the main drag (Mango), it’s usually busy with a wide range of Bruce’s – Americans, Auzzies and Europeans. All boomeranging back to get more night after night – onya!
Girls Looks : 3/5 Expecting a kick in the nuts From Gray for saying this, but the girls are not the prettiest that I have seen. There are a few “lookers” in there, but most I have seen are around the average mark – in fairness I usually turn up late, perhaps after the most beautiful cuckoos have already flown the nest – an early appearance might see me eating my words in the future and hopefully a FREE “sea food special” or two as well..
Attitude : 4/5 Good attitude from all in this bar (owner, mamasan, bar maids, girls), maybe because it’s more closely managed than most, in a more “westernized” style – so patrons feel at more at home. Girls are friendly and funny and in particular know how to get the best from Westerner’s and help them relax. Seen some Koreans and Japanese in there occasionally though and they seemed happy enough as well.
Fun Factor : 4/5 Yeah, can get funny in there, have seem some crazy antics from the girls, especially after a request or two – good place to chill out and have a beer, or go all out and have a wild one!
Overall : 4/5 Definitely one of the best bars in Cebu for “foreigners” without a doubt, so unless you have a a few Kangaroos loose in the top paddock, check it out and order something from the menu too, you won’t be disappointed you did. Will get some quality photos and try and get a menu too – if successful, you’ll see it scanned below!

HEY OZ. YOU STILL AT LONE STAR? SHOULD BE COMING BACK OVER FEB. WILL NEED A BOOZE CRUISE.
By far the best bar in Cebu. Friendly girls, great atmoshere and an owner who invests in his customers.
In terms of looks the girls are not always the best but then again they are very far away from being the worst. Attitude is wonderful, very playful.
Bar of choice
Good bar, great food and reasonable drinks……. but expensive girls, quoted 750 for bar fine plus 2500 for the night.
Your having a laugh !

lonestar?me i have ur #?plss send fox_sniper2000@yahoo.com…tmax
Is ben lombarde still alive?
Do the girls in Lonestar (or any bar for that matter) have a set price? As with Steve #8 I was also quoted 2500 for the girl. . but she also asked for a 1650 bar fine. I turned her down but I now I think I should have just asked some other girl instead of leaving to go to another bar.
Damn near across the street from Eddie’s Hotel makes this place convenient when staying there.
Be there mid November….

I always like to read something like this. That is usually a bit hard to find valuable information on the internet. And I found your post using Yahoo and I can say the time spent was worth reading.

I met Ben Lombarde last week at Silver Dollar. He is in good health. Thinks the present owner is a little wacky maybe to much drugs. And wants to cause fights to much.
i always have agreat night/morning at the star. good crew/good food(try the ham/cheese/tomatoe toasted sanga,bar fine 650 2 the bar work out a price with dancer no prob..
Be leave it or not, but in this little bar you really can get a very good pizza!
My favorite is the Lone Star Special, it’s much better than the one from Yellow Cab or the others.
But of course, that’s only my own opinion.
Also the prices are quite low and the drinks are strong!
Eat a pizza there!
Gaz hi im coming over mid Feb im new to Cebu maybe we can have a drink and you can give me some advise on the bars please.
Regard’s Ray ray180756@aol.com cheers im in the UK
700 bar fine, girls are fun as hell, they smile, joke, give a little massage while sippin’ a beer. Grahm Special pizza is awesome! So, are the fish n chips. A lot of the pretty ones seem to come and go…I would say 3/5 on most of the girls. Slim pickin’s lately.
What do you expect for 700 pesos; 2 legs and torso. The cheapass owner doesn’t pay a peso to the girls for the bar fine, and some guests don’t tip either, so many girls get nothing after the deed. What a joke!
