Papillon Bar Review: Mango Avenue, Cebu – by Foreigner & The Chinese
Name : Papillon
Location : Central Mango bar area, next to “Love City” and opposite BGs
Layout : 4/5 Layout is quite good – attractive looking dance stage with ginormous butterfly just to remind anyone who might be thinking of behaving, not to! There is a decent sized bar area to sit around, where the ever present “Maricel” will make you feel at home and find something to tickle your fancy. If you don’t feel like sitting at the bat, then you could sit around the main seating area, or if you like to keep a low profile there are plenty of secluded comfy spots dotted around.
Price : 2/5 I suppose you get what you pay for, in this instance anyway. Drinks are expensive(ish) at around 200 for a ladie’s drink and bar fine at around 1000 excluding girl. Don’t get me wrong, the drinks and girls are pretty much the same as you would get anywhere else, but the surroundings are a little above average.
Management : ? I know nothing about the management of this bar. Bar always seems to be in order and not experienced some of the nonsense you get in some.
Girls Looks : 3/5 Just average or even below, I have never seen anything exceptional in Papillon but have seen a few “clown like” faces, over made up and over rice eating. Sorry if that sounds rude, just take my word for it – I have photographic proof, but would be a little unfair to upload.
Attitude : 3/5 Attitude OK. I guess this is more of a Japanese bar really, rather than Westerner – not sure why, but not so many western guys. Girls often have very white skin, so that may have something to do with it. Girls are friendly enough though.
Fun Factor : 2/5 This bar is kinda reserved and boring – not really sure why. Never had that much fun in Papillon, seems like a place that is waiting for something to happen that everyone never will.
Overall : 2/5 It’s OK, definitely worth a look BUT I think for sure you can find better,
Papillon is really an expensive bar,but it’s worth it…the girls are nice,specially this girl in the picture who’s very smart and charming…i know her since she’s fat,like i think she weight 145lbs…but
wow look at her now…well,i love the ambiance and the girls at that bar…nothing compares to their company and entertainment….Go Girls!!!!
Papillon is one of the nicest bar in cebu…
The girls look so social and blessed with a very natural beauty…very filipina in and out…thanks to this site that we can put comment…
yeah gwapa jud ang babay nila kung naay make up…hehehehe…
wait for me anha unya ko inig oli naku
we’ve been them with my american husband but shiit it sooo fucking expensive, thats all I can say
no offense to the dancers, but this is by far the worst bar in cebu. the waitress simply won’t leave you alone and it’s really annoying when they constantly pressure you for overpriced ladies drinks the minute you sit down. asking them nicely to go away only lasts for a minute, then they are back with two ugly girls asking for a drink. I’ve been there multiple times over the years and only go at the insistence of a newbie visitor that really wants to see for himself. It only takes 5-minues and they start saying it was a huge mistake, let’s quickly finish our beer, and leave. hopefully, someday this bar will change but until then it’s one to avoid.
Ugliest girls in all of CEBU..no kidding. Went with a friend and we bought mercy drinks for an hour. Really, it looked like a convention of criminal charachters from Dick Tracy. Worth a trip to laugh at the uglyness.
It’s a bar that I would use just to break things-up slightly. Wouldn’t stay for more than a beer unless something pretty new and exceptional hit the floor. Bar Fines are expensive
Papillon has expenssive barfine but it’s truelly woth it..girls are super friendly and very pretty specially the GRO’s.
I travel to Cebu every 3months and always visit Papillon.
In the above pictures, there is one girl in blue. She is the second and fourth picture counting from the bottom up and they are separated by the group picture of the seven girls at the table. This girl in blue is so pretty. Does anyone know her name?
Hi Joe,
Yep then name of that Girl is Melody – Still working there I think.
If you’re going around checking out the cebu nightlife, papillon provides a comfy atmosphere to just rest and unwind. The place is very different from the others. There are comfy seats and coaches that you can lounge around. The girls are hospitable and very conversant. I got a chance to chat with a smart & funny employee which made my visit a fun and worthwhile experience.

Their customers are not teenagers! But the ambiance is way better that anybar.

Hopefully the old hags are not crawling on you
when you enter.
If not, it is ok to get a decent drink,
but the drinks are very mild and also the bar is very boring.
No billiard or something else.
But still ok.
