Silver Dollar Bar Review : Jones Street, Cebu – by Foreigner & The Chinese
Name : Silver Dollar
Location : Close to the big circle, Fuente Osmena – next door to Metro Bank Plaza
Layout : 3/5 Layout like a long strip – basically the bar. You sit up at the bar and the girls dance on it – like a filthy version of “coyote ugly”. There are also tables and chairs against the back wall and ½ way down a pool table that always seems to be busy.
Price : 3/5 This is a “cheap and cheerful” bar, but the pricing seems a little on the high side. Ladies drink expensive(ish) at around 190, and barfine around 1000 excluding girl, although I could be wrong about that. Food is good for foreigners and reasonably priced.
Management : 2/5 Lots of complaints from girls about OTT penalties. One evening a girl (bar maid) gave me a ball point pen. As I left the bar, the red-faced owner came running after me as I walked to go out and demanded that I give it back, otherwise “it would come out out of the girls wages!”. The bar went quiet, I held out the pen and said “it’s mine, she gave it to me!”, the owner dared a snatch but a retracted at the last second and retained my prize! This resulted in a severe reddening of the already raddish-like high pressure head and rather than be responsible for an exploded ventricle, I ended up giving up the pen, after a little mild mouthing on my part. 30 mins later, the owner called the mobile of the girl to apologise, which I suppose counts for something. Haha, at least I remembered the night!
Girls Looks : 3/5 Hmmm, for sure there are some that are well over the hill – but also some saucy ones that are good fun. I have met some top bar girls in here in the past and got myself into a lot of trouble – can be a fun night in this bar! Not the hottest of girls, but some nice looking ones and definitely on the naughtier side!
Attitude : 3/5 All in one, good attitude from girls – quite a lot of “oldie” customers in this bar, so the girls maybe are used to making the effort to be friendly.
Fun Factor : 3/5 Definitely worth a visit, although seems popular with the older partons. You can have some fun here for sure
Overall : 3.5/5 Despite my moans, overall it’s an OK bar – although could do with a few fresh girls and more generosity regarding the promotional gifts..
3 ladies drink, 2 sprites, and barfine including girl totaled out to 3000 pesos
The “Black lights” along the back wall of the bar need to go! five minutes under there and you can’t see a thing your eyes are hurting too much. Not much atmosphere in there for my liking.
hey sir john this is raymond dormans daughter just need to know do u know dads email addy by any chance or his website cause im traying to get in contact with him. thanks and kind regards and i see the club is looking good from the pics
One of the few (maybe the only) bars open during the day. Girls on day shift are not very attractive but they have nice playful attitudes.
Night girls are aggressive and hard-core. A good
place to meet some friendly expats and serious drinkers during the day as the long bar is usually full.
They need to update there picks. Almost all the girls in the pics no longer there. Put up pretty picks on WEB, but when leave they leave the pictures up. Better to be honest on current pictures on WEB site. Also, bring your own cockroach spray, very bad.
Nasty Place. So dirty. Kept smelling something bad at my table and found my feet were in Vomit. B
bean ther few times when i am in cebu proberbly the best bar
Haha – feet in Vomit, nice!
I go over 10 years to this place and have fun all the time. If you have not fun take a look first to your self and you will find the problem soon.
Don’t worry be happy and go to this place

__________I’m an American expat looking to make some extra cash..i can work fulltime or part time in the area of security manager-or just security, i know you have uniformed security outside but i would be in street cloths..I could secure the bar inside, help outside by escorting the ladies and client if need be. I have 20 years experience in this area..I’m 6ft 2” and 285 lbs and traine in martial arts and weapons. Please give me an e-mail adress for the submission of my photo and resume.
I’ve been to this bar several times and i would agree that, although most of the girls are little more mature in age and hold some extra weight, the attitudes and friendliness of the bar (dancers, barstaff, mamasan, owners) make it a nice place to start the evening or finish one off. There is seldom any drink pressure at all and I’ve always found at least one entertaining gal with which to hold a decent conversation. Sometimes, you can find a real cutie here but not very often. If the owners would simply hire more young and sexy girls plus let them do more dancing, I’d be here every night cause the rest of the bar operation is just great.
HI,EVERYONE ESPECIALLY TO BREN,BY THE WAY IM JUST AN ORDINARY GUY WHOM GOT LUCKY BY SERVING YOU LAST 2006 OF DECEMBER YOU CELEBRATE YOUR CHRISTMAS PARTY AT BINGHAY RESORTS…I WAS THE GUY AT THE BAR SECTION AND SERVING YOU WELL WITH YOUR BIGBOSS…IM SO ENJOY AND THAT WAS MY FIRST TIME THAT I SERIOUSLY SEEN A GIRL IN TOPLESS NAKED…MOST ESPECIALLY MISS BREN.AND NOW IM HERE AT QATAR WORKING IN A GAS PLANT AS A SURVEYOR…GOOD LUCK TO YOUR COMPANY

Hi Mike,
Are you willing to work for P300 per 12-hour shift?
Otherwise, there is absolutely no point in making an
application because we have many local applicants
that really need the job and won’t get pissed off
and leave after one day. Also, you are responsible
for obtaining your own work permit as we see no
reason to sponsor your paperwork at our expense.
Take care
entertaining place because of the cockroaches running up aand down the bar! Hey, management, ever hear of bygon????
normaly a good place, what are the new owners like? will they update there website and replace the photos of the girls, most of present photos are of girls that have not been working for a long while, see what happens before visit again.
Its known as ‘The Graveyard’ because its where all the old/fat/ugly girls end up working. It is true that some of them have great attitudes but its tough looking straight at them, lol
New owners so we will see what happens but it needs a refit for sure
Since Silver Dollar had a new owners now, things changed inside and out. Well, good thing though, because the new owners now are very much devoted to their new owned bar in Cebu, Philippines. One things lacking to their outmost personality and as new manager of their own establishment, knowing your business is here in the Philippines, and you’re workers are mostly or 100% Pilipinos, you should at least be sensitive enough to their feelings as well as to their rights to reason out, Customers are always right, we all know that, but that doesn’t mean that they are always right to extend that they already been stepping into someone who have been working there, just because they weren’t satisfied or they weren’t able to get what they wanted for the reason that it wasn’t as what have been agreed on between the guest and the worker there. End up putting stories on the worker making bullshits that Pilipinos are liars and all, and worst lost the job in an undesirable manner. Hope that in some ways you’ll be considerate enough to hear their side and not always on your own race side. This is Philippines, not America.
Read all the previous comments some by surprise. I was there last week and met both the new owners; One married to a Filipino and the other moved to Cebu in June same Filipino girl friend for two years. They nice friendly guys. Asked them about the cock roach problem, they said in the past never fumingated like other clubs now they fumigate every two weeks. They know the web site must be updated and will be in the very near future. I saw big changes for the good: better looking young girls, some of the old decor has been updated. They used to have these ugly faces around the bar now flags of the world much better. Happy hour from noon to 9pm also a plus.
I spent time with two of the girls there before bar fining one of them.
They love the new owners. In the past now toilet paper was in there comfort room now there is, Used to us a buck it to wash in and flush the toilet now new toilet that flushes and a since with soap to wash in. Keep the good changes comming.
I think this is the best bikini bar in Cebu Now. There has been upgrades made to the decor and exterior from the new owners (Max & Carl). These guys really make you feel at home and are very pleasant to all the i have noticed.
They’re are new girls and the prices are very good.
My suggestion to all is go have some fun at the Silver Dollar you won’t be disappointed.
I went there twice this week. The first time was in the afternoon. The women were friendly; maybe overfriendly. I was mobbed by 4 girls right away. I decided to leave earlier than I would have wanted to. Went in again a different night. The girls were less aggressive and a lot of fun. The girls may not all be beauty queens but are a lot of fun and willing to please. I plan on returning soon.
The place must be dead now with the new owners? no comments about how good it is etc,
I have need there in a year, what change it more fun that before. Must be 40 girls that start dance at 5pm younger prettier with bodies, WHAT an inproment from before. These guys know how hire GIRLS. Place is much cleaner and good food. I like the waitress Michelle, she is beatiful. New owners are moving in the right direction. FUN Fun Bar and frienlier girls,
It is my new hang out now, Not,not like the Japan/koren style bar like a few of the others.
No not dead very hot, only one owner as understand it. I do miss John & Chris but I think better now in many ways now
i went here for so many times and i thought of coming back in this bar(SILVER DOLLAR)..,..i surely loved the new owner here name CARL if i am not mistaken,..the bar seems to be famous nor popular for it could be a fuss!!!it also known as the dramatic asylum for foreigners who would like to enjoy their stay here in Philippines ,.it obviously earned a good profit that could able him to put up another business or a branch(es),..lol!keep hiring gorgeous yet seductive girls that probably leave footprints on your establishment,..!!!!
MR.SCREWDRIVER
watch out for a renewable bar ever ..,,since it is being hold with a new owner,..!!!no more cockroaches,…just serpents who gonna temp you along the aisle,…lol,…__better hold your breath for a new skin of this bar,..___….
Mr.Screw Driver trying to do his best for his bar…if you don’t want to be nab by flow,..never dare to take a glimpse,..!!to-be-decent one,..
Only one owner. The girls love him for his understanding and treatment of them. A real fun bar great time with the girls and the other custmers. Feels like back home in the UK and US bars I visited. Some of the new girls are very pretty and fresh. Been there at noon girls not as pretty as later but the beer is great and girls are fun.
i agree with you zirc,..
i am hoping to see you someday..,,
have a great day..
i hope you enjoy your stay here in philippines,…
chiao!!
its a shit hole..
I stumbled in there last night for the first time….old women…most had a baby or two…2750 out the door and some of the girls said they wanted a tip on top of that….3 ugly girls surrounded me wanting a drink…new owner chilling in the back and one monkey massaging my back trying to earn a drink.
I bolted after one beer and hit vikings down the road for 1700 out the door and 500 ST tip…she ended up staying the night.
I visited over the weekend, as wannabe said, very expensive, dancers old, and the owner on the always giving you queer looks.you cannot sit down and have a quite beer or talk without being hassled,Thought place would come right with new owners, but it has gone backwards. There are alot of better clubs/bars and alot cheaper in there prices.
I am an Ausi like the old owners of Silver Dollar. I have been coming here for 10 years. This bar was good, but better now. Allot more young pretty girls than before, also girls from Viking complex work at Silver Dollar now. Prices good, happy hour until 9pm. GIRL out the door for 750 then tip the girl, up to you. I take girl last week so I know the truth. Never hassle there. I honest and tell it like it is. Makes me mad when I see lies. Yes I like Viking, but for me Silver Dollar much better.
Lots of construction going on inside the Silver Dollar this month. Should be nice when they finish but I would give it a miss for the rest of December.
COSTRUCTION ALMOST COMPLETE, MUCH BETTER NOW. RE GRAND OPENING DECEMBER 21. DANCERS AT 1PM OPENS NOW AT 11AM. GOOD JOB GUYS, STILL NUMBER ONE IN CEBU, NO QUESTION NOW
Wow,how nice!Dancers start at 11am, two dance stages. Bigger and better. Girls now friendlier and prettier. Was one of my favorites, Now the best in Cebu!!!
just wondering if the silver dollar has closed down or nothing is happening there, as there have not been any comments etc.what are the new dancers like?,
Hi i will be in Cebu on the 19th of feb 2010 on my own i may visit this Bar , be nice to get some advice on where to go and not to go maybe i will meet some people and get honest advise when im there .
I am from England.

I was in Silver Dollar last night 1/31/10. Girls are great looking and very frienly. Dancers start at 11am till 3am. I will be back there again tonight, and probably close it down again. Much Much better bar from when I was there 6 months ago.
I heard that they are closing the place down? any news about it?
I was there yesterday. No way it is closing down. Hotest bar in cebu. Where did you hear that, a another bar owner?? Have been there??
