Love City Bar Review: Mango Avenue, Cebu – by Foreigner & The Chinese
Name : Love City, Mango Avenue
Love City Location : The busy and infamous Mango Avenue, right smack in the Centre of Cebu’s naughty zone – opposite side of the road from Sisters & BGs and sandwiched in between Papillion and Dimples
Love City Layout : 2/5 Unusual Layout, kinda if hard to describe. You enter the door then take a walk upstairs. This bar is most unlike the other Bikini bars in Mango. The stage is a central, round area – normally has one or two girls dancing. These girls are VERY young – if I had to make a guess – I would say 16 to 18. None of the girls have had babies and I don’t think any are beyond the age of 18. How is this possible? – I have no idea, come to your own conclusions and theories. A high percentage of the girls will strip naked at the end of the dance, unlike the other Mango bars where the girls rarely do this. There are no girls wandering around, like the other bars – although I would say there are about 20 girls in total (roughly). When they are not dancing they either hang around inside the dressing room, or are seated in their own area until called by the mamasan to “entertain” a customer who will buy them a drink. Turn left as you come in and you will approach the small bar. Take a seat and the bar man will quickly ask you if you want a drink. Unlike the other bars, tax is added to the price as well. Bar man is smart and well dressed – the place seems unusually formal for a bar, not really a top spot to relax and joke around.
Price : 1/5 This bar is expensive, I think around 270 for a ladies drink which will buy you 30 mins with the girl to chat. Barfine is all upfront, 3000 or perhaps even 4000, I can’t remember. There’s also a VIP/KTV room. No idea about the charges for this.
Love City Management : 2.5/5 I spoke to the mamasan a couple of times. She is quite old and told me how she has worked as the mamasan for 20 years (or so) when Love City Cebu was the original and only bar in Cebu. I have never met the owner. Management is strict – this is not a particularly friendly bar and is a world away from other bars in Mango.
Girls Looks : 3/5 Some of the girls are really pretty. All the girls are really small, presumably because they have not yet grown up! The girls run around and joke like kids – which could actually make you feel a little awkward about being in there. Bars are for sure, adult places, take a visit yourself – would you really call these girls adults?
Attitude : The girls are young and most have immature attitudes as you’d expect. I have spoken to a few and heard some strange stories.
Fun Factor : 2/5 Not really a fun bar – too expensive and the girls don’t roam freely – even if they did I don’t really think his would be a fun bar. I’m really not sure about this place, looking forward to reading some visitor comments.
Love City Cebu Bar Review – Overall : 2/5 Love City Cebu is good for guys that like young girls with no babies. The clientele is mostly Japanese and Korean, you don’t see a whole lot of foreigners in there. I will try and get some pictures, but don’t imagine for one minute that the management will permit me to take any – we’ll see. As per my usual advice, check it out – at least you have some background knowledge prior to your visit. If you don’t like it, the other bars are just seconds away – so nothing lost.
ive been to love city, it reminds me of thunderdome and volvo bar, all 3 are owned by the same person, it is quite boring and yes theres no fun factor, its only good for a drink if you want to see what its like inside, thunderdome and volvo bar is on ramos street near midtown hotel and kan irag hotel.
Love City is OK to have one drink and watch the girls dance. Some of them can really dance and get into it, but as far as the dancers mingling with the customers, there is none of that, and the girls mostly sit together on their own. It is expensive for drinks, and the BF is 4,000 NOT 3,000 as previously posted, and really very much overated. I will go there again, to watch the shows, but that is it. There are a lot better bars around to have fun in.
hey guys arent you over reacting?
maybe you guys are trashed by one of these girls,
chill guys chills,,,

love city is a boreing place the girls have nom personality if they arnt high ill stand R–ting
i would be suprised if any of the girls arnt underaged.
the girls are not under aged…just look like they are. Very skinny and bouncy. each one is very smart and well trained to get your money and leave at 2am complaining about their baby back home or some other bs. The girls actually scared me with how much game playing they are skilled at.
The comments by “anOnymOus” make me laugh as this person must be connected to love City or better named “Young City” “anOnymOus” does not like to hear truthful opinions or does not believe in freedom of speach that does not really exist in the PR anyway! Absolutley LOVE City has mostly underage girls and most people know it. they do not get raided by the Police or the DSWD because they are SCARED to do so!!! The place is owned by a notorious, wealthy, well connected man that they dare not cross. Same owner as Volvo and Thunderdome They are just to scared.. The authorities will raid the other bars that are not so powerful. is it not refreshing to see how the cops are keeping Cebu City safe from crime by raiding bars!
It’s true – such a boring place!!!!!!! 2 girls dancing on the stage like a “dead fish”. Showing no interes get some attention!!!! I did’t see any good loking girls!!!!
love city is one of the nice bar here in cebu……they have many beautiful girls…..and is not true that love city is boring….maybe you will see some of girl that they dont know how to dance, its because they new girl….
and not only 2 girls, know how to speak japaness or korean, also the other girls know how to speak japaness or korean…..and love city have many lovely, cute, and beautiful girls…..
and just only my opnion, i think #38, and #10 is the most beautiful in love city…..
ive been there in love city,together with my husband and his friend, its so borring and i see only 1pretty girl the athers is ugly and not sexy yuck??? have 1girl sexy but she is ugly,,,lol
This place is a ‘dive’. Amazingly boring with the most awful seating arrangement you can imagine. Do yourself a favor guys and stay away. The comments about the owner is correct and there are girls underage.
This is the worst of all the Mango Ave bars. Horrible seating, poor organization with only 1 or 2 girls dancing at a time & the rest sitting off by themselves or in the back and the most expensive in the area with overpriced drinks and P4,000 barfines. There really is absolutely no reason to even enter this bar.
The Koreans may like this bar because they don’t know any better and a few of the girls can speak some of their language so if you are Korean and like to pay double price to be a bigshot and stroke your ego, by all means go here. It will give the Koreans the same satisfaction they get in their own country when they pay W150,000 (about $120) for a bottle of Jack Daniels in a Korean cocktail bar. Koreans love to overpay and act like they are little Kings for a night. It’s their culture. They think if you pay more then the quality must be better. lol.
Actually the owner is quite smart and has made a niche bar to exploit them. For everyone else with a brain, all the other bars on Mango Ave are a much better option. Actually I hope the Koreans keep going here and stay out of the other Mango bars. We don’t need fools overpaying everywhere else and raising the prices.
Hi..been there before lots of young ladies dancer some pretty some just ordinary girl..One thing that I don’t like is the toilet so smelly and dirty makes me sick.
I have to agree, this is not a fun bar and never will be if they keep the same attitude. Yes the girls strip, but seem bored by the whole thing and it is one of the very few bars I have ever been in where the girls do not greet you and smile. Like a fool I ordered a plate of peanuts, about half a pack, and was charged 80 peso for the privilige. Quickly finished my drink and went next door to Papillion which has a far friendlier atmosphere. A bar to miss.
i`ve been in Lovecity…
yes, we can say that sOmeof the girls are yOung..
But why thOse people keep on visiting that pLace?
i can’t say that this place is too mUch bOring..
Coz if it’s really bOring,thOse people will nOt visit again…
i can see crowded of cOstumers,especially weekends!!
they are sO cute and very flexible!!!
we cannot say that they are tOo yOung,cOz
they already know hOw to make love with sOmeone!!
hahahah!!
sOme of the girls,are smart,looks like a ordinary person,and sOme of them are veterans!!
So,if u want to visit there,it’s better u try..
it’s just fOr fUn..nOthings especial…
But,if u dOn’t want yOung girls..
jUst look for anOther bar….
bUt,fOr me LoveCity is ok!!especially when u know already the sexy and cute girls…
i really missed the #34!!!sexy,cUte,and very good dancer amOng them!!!she’s really smart,just my opinion…
Hey Man..Were a racsous rock band from America and our lead singer is now living in Mactan.We went to Young city and had a smashing time….its what its all about Sex and party unless your a cry baby or a pussy with no money….check us on myspace if you want to rock with us and enjoy life! Asian Alibinos now in the Cebu area!
Does anybody know that Aljane(maybe Number 38) is still working here? I wanna see her again, but when the last time I visited, she wasn’t there. I’ve missed her.
Does anybody know?
Love city is an overrated flea pit. Should have a health and wealth warning at the entrance.
Only place in town where girls are naked on stage and yes they are in some cases questionably young.
The owner, first name after a well know long boot is very well connected and owns two other bars outright plus has an interest in a few more. The connections keep this place going, any other bar had shows like this and you would hear about nasty horrible foreigners being arrested and deported for abusing the maiden vurgins of these islands
