Angeles City Philippines
About me : Retired American Expat Brian & Filipina wife Luisa, living in the Angeles City / Clark Pampanga Philippines.
That burned-out building was C' Italian restaurant. They moved to Clark after the fire.
There used to be a bamboo furniture factory in that area around the old building.
Garfields was there in the late 80"s when I was stationed there.
Garfield Bar was there before 1988. The fence line across the street was the 'side' fence, not the back fence. It was for the Clark View and Friendship gates.
No way in hell would I be leaving my passport with anybody just to rent a bike.
They also accept a cash deposit.
F#$k those bike rentals ,never give your pass port to anyone.
Here is what I remember about Fields avenue from my time (Feb 1989- Oct 1991). Just outside what was then Friendship gate, there was a bar called the "Hot Club" where we went on Tuesday nights to watch reruns of Monday night football. There was a great place to eat called the Chili Pot just across the street. I don't remember all of the bars on Fields avenue but as you headed towards the main gate on Fields, there was a little county bar called the Wagon Wheel that had a live band on the weekend. I was never a fan of the loud crowded bars where GI's acted like assess so I hung out in the smaller places. I also frequented Garfields. A the time is was a small place with a small bar, juke box, and about three pool tables. There was also a bar called "Buster Hymen". Also, just outside the main gate on Fields, there was a huge bar called "Maverick City". This was a popular starting point on Friday's for the ville run. Beer was 25 pesos for happy hour. I remember the bar you were asking about but can't remember the name. I believe you walked through the arches and down a sidewalk lined with monkey's in cages and then back to the bar area. There was also a large bar on Fields where at the "brothers" hung out but I can't remember the name. The one time I went in, they were playing Ice Ice bay. I didn't stay long. I really miss the way it was, It has so much personality. Now it is Vegas in the PI.
Ah. I remember Chili Pot on Friendship. Really close to the gate. We used to have Hail and Fairwells there. Really good food.
I was here from 1984 -1990. Owls Nest was here when I arrived. Then Skytrax/Brass knob/Garfield's came along. Hotels still here but different names.
Yes, that fenceline was there in 1978-80 when I was at Clark AB. It was maintained back then, though...a clean visual was maintained for security.
👍
I would leave a business card and 10K pesos but never my passport. Thanks for an excellent tour of the area.
Spot 11:40 was the Castle Club II back in 1989.
The building you were asking about that looks like an old castle with a “C” on the ground in the entrance use to be an Italian restaurant owned and run by a guy named Chef Chris, who since is deceased. He opened a restaurant in the Royce Hotel called Amare, which his wife runs now.
It ain’t the same as it was back in 2017 when I first started going. Even if bars re open in Perimeter, don’t be surprised if Koreans start buying places up and start acting stupid!
Thanks Brian , I Hope You Lot , Momma And The Girls Have A Wonderful Day ! 🙂🙂🙂🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯
Same to you!
@@PhillyinthePhilippines Thanks Brian ! 🙂🙂🙂
Its not just perimeter road its all of Philippines is fallen down. Garfields been there since i came over 20 years ago
Garfield’s was there in the late 80’s.
The building you are asking about was an Italian Restaurant called C’ Italian Dining. It closed a few years ago.
Bummer. ...
That old interesting building housed the Sea Italia restaurant which was a classy up market venue, i first sampled its delights in 2004.
Baby Dolls & Fire Pit & ice bar....platinum...sapfire.... Good old days😊
had many bar fine from baby dolls upstairs was the bar
@@matteogarghian9572 oh yeah man and rooms to😊
Thanks for sharing.
*Thx4share interesting walk n talk Philly* 🇺🇲👍
Glad you enjoyed
Your looking well pal, all the best wishes for you and the family over the big move soon, I will definitely still be watching from London
Started staying right there (when Orchid was booked) at the (old) Phoenix Hotel. Hung around Perimeter, for a change.. Last time there (Phil) 2011, night before I arrived (checked in) an Old British guy staying at the Phoenix, walking with a girl @ 2 or 3am; guy jumped off a Motorbike, robbed him (Wallet & Phone) and shot him in the head / Dead, right in front of Garfield's .. Yes, I was very Creeped out & watched my back, bigtime ..
Remember that well!!!
Perimeter road looks very dangerous after dark. Yo philly it's the ghetto!
I wish my attempt to move there back in 2022 went better. Every person I met it seemed was trying to scam me somehow. Took about six weeks before I was on a plane back to the states. The rental scam that resulted in the police evicting me from a condo that I signed a lease with the owner’s cousin who apparently had no permission to do so was the last straw.
Sorry to hear about your bad experience.
You had bad luck
Here is a real story: went to a resort and rented moto bike from a shop by the port. Left my drivers license as a deposit. They wanted passport by I said no as we need it for the hotel. When I came back to return the motorbike - guess what....the girl at the shop told me this is not their motorbike and they don't have my DL 😮😮😮. Apparently the shop is operated by multiple people and bikes are owned by different people too. Sat there while they were calling to find out who has my DL. Appeared the moto bike owner who took my license is now working on a ship somewhere but his uncle would come soon and bring my DL back. And yes later that day his uncle brought my DL to the hotel.
Good thing I was not leaving that same day and could stay and wait.
But never never again I would leave anything.
This two guys in the motorcycle shop.... arrogant service.... Last place i go.
Hi Brian, before you leave for the province can you take a walk through the Clark airbase Hospital/Museum for a final progress report.
Garfield’s was there in the early 80’s near LBFM and Blue Jeans
The place was dead when I walked through in February it's getting less and less each year
I heard that they were eliminating the 6 months tourist visa. I guess they are trying to push people towards the srrv visa or want to check people out every 2 months.
it really dont matter that they did away with it most places here would never give it any way
I rented a bike there in Angeles once. However, they asked me to leave my passport. I felt very uncomfortable about it, so I never rented a bike after that. I agree with you that you shouldn't be leaving your passport with these guys. The other thing is I think you have 30 days to operate a motorized vehicle in the Philippines after arrival. How will you prove this without your passport if you get pulled over?
Enjoyed your walk and rant Philly 👌🏻 Keep feeling positive is the right thing to do 😊 Thanks for sharing 👍🏻 ✌🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Thanks 👍
Prime Real Estate used to be 3 or 4 low-end bars across the street from Garfield's. After that, the long building were concession stalls for furniture, art gallery, cloths, leather accessories, fruit and vegetable shops before they too were converted into bars after 1990.
I've asked the guys working there and they don't know what the buildings will be used for. Sorisso is OK but expensive. Best Italian, in Angeles, is Uncle Joes behind Margarita Station.
Right before you get to that CNBC Bar, there is door. As weird as it may seem, there is an expat that lives in there. It looks like it is a old boarded up bar, but he has it all fixed up inside it just looks all beat up from the outside. I have seen him walk in there several times and I finally asked him if that was his place or not....he said it was....who knew!
Good day Brian.
I got Lost in Asia, then i got drilled at the Drill shack! Lol
Loved Lost In Asia. RIP Duke
After school and lips👄 and one more.... They used to be right next to Clarkton , but inside the hotel use to be awesome bar to just very noisy night time😂
Never give your passport
Good waking video Brian thanks for sharing take care
Glad you enjoyed it
Take Garfield's motto to heart when going to Perimeter clubs. Warm beer, weak drinks and ugly women.
Never leave my passport with any one!!
Great to see some motorcycles Brian .Cheers great vid.
I saw that Bldg described in a UA-cam about the good ol' days there (70's) .. Now I forget ..
What a dump
That place next to the Moto rental place was an Italian restaurant.....it caught fire and burned down....right about the time you started coming to PH...I believe it burned down in 2012 or 13...
Gotta have 1 of those caps, been looking for some over 2 years now. 😅
I'm not surprised the bars and businesses are not doing well,that area is very quiet, no atmosphere,it is completely dead.ermita used to be main spot when I visited the Philippines but that is dead too.😢😢
Great service there at Nice bike rentals I have used them many times over the years the best in AC
Garfields has been around for at least 24 years and it was already established when I went. Girls who worked in there were always super polite. I believe the owner at that time forbade them asking for a drink. I always made a stop there.
maayong buntag
That passport can be life or death if you have an emergency and have to get outta dodge. Too risky to leave it with a stranger IMO.
Garfield's was there until 1991, it changed after. The current is much smaller than the vintage Garfields. It was the first bar when you went off base. The old building looks like the Barbary Coast.
Nope... Never leave your passport
nice walk !
Yes, thanks
Hey brian. We made it to Angeles. ! See you soon
I would venture to say those empty lots are from Pinatubo. Their roofs were crushed and never rebulit.
No they survived Pinatubo, and Matrix Brawn closed around 2012. They bere pulled down
No actually they were open and operating 2010 the property across from Garfield's also called on fire the wiring and some of those places were crazily bad with each new owner they would just run new wiring and not fix the old stuff hence why a lot of them burnt down over the years, the next grouping of stalls we're originally just retail stalls when the base was still there then after the base left and the eruption of the volcano they started putting the little bars in the stalls. But perimeter Road back during the military days and up until around 2010 was a lot of action there was another grouping of bars next to Clarkton Hotel one of them was called Lost in Asia I loved going there back in the day.
Snag that billiards sign 5:50 people collect old bar stuff, I have a few old signs and lights that we collected
From places that were closing, we even purchase a Brunswick 9 foot pro billard table from a bar closure
I mean they were practilly giving it away. Leave my passport how about you go kick rocks.
Yeah, "prime real estate" that is going for three times California prices.
The starting point was Josefaville, then you travelled west a short distance to Plaradel I subdivisions.
Good morning Monday Cebu city' my second home
I’m not sure if the location is the same, but Garfield’s was around in the late 80’s when I was stationed at Clark.
I can remember when Garfield's was called Bottom of the evening, Garfield's was originally located where those bars were at the beginning of the video and was in fact a Agogo bar
Tnx again for bringing us along. Leaving your passport behind is a no go. You were going to Margeritas Station I assume when you saw me walking .
You are correct
C's Italian Restaurant was a very very nice restaurant with a Garden seating area outside in the back of the property last time I ate there was December of 2012 it caught on fire in 2013 they moved the restaurant over onto Clark last I remember when you were doing the video I was laughing at the big C's on the entryway sidewalk when you were talking about the dog I'm like "it's there in front of you" lol. Anyhow I always enjoy your videos and hopefully one of these days we'll cross paths love to sit and chat with you buddy hope you keep up the good work and stick around AC
Don't leave you passport to anyone in PI. Just don't do this you cant imagine they will lose it or sell it to someone and will tell you "sorry sir we don't have it".
Matrix brawn use to be a great bar
Gen now has GreyFox just before Garfields
Matrix Brawn at one time specialized in providing entertainment for short periods of time.
Awesome looking hat Brian!
Thanks!
Used to get a kick out of Phil Cold Spaghettis in plastic .. Wow, a Cannoli in PI .. "Ask it they have Spumoni Ice Cream" lol ..
Garfields used to be in fields ave since the heyday Clark Air Base
❤❤❤👍👍👍
The bike rental seens questionable... i wouldnt rent from there. Poor customer service and rental policy.
Hi it's the same. all over the world bars did a roaring trade pre covid and it hasn't come back people learnt to drink at friends places or take uŕ own drinks to a spot you enjoy now you see coffie shops everywhere but with Inflation everything we buy is costing more so we all spend less so these businesses take a big hit it's a question of cutting down urr personal spending and drink at a bar or a coffie shop is easy to go without
We all have a jar off coffie at home and a beer I n the fridge
I take a travel mug I can take out in my car and my scooter has a bracket for it as well and can take a beer or spirit out
I will be in AC for 10 days starting May 25. Hope our paths cross while I am there, I will keep an eye out for you walking around or maybe see you at Tequila Reefs 🙂
Hey Philly Im coming to Angeles City for the first time next month. Would you be able to show me around.
I will have moved to the province by then.
Jungle life coming soon!
In Thailand, a person could be sued for leaving a bad review for a restaurant.
Brian could you answer me a question all the years you have been in Philippines do you get use to the heat and humidity…because in a year or so Iam thinking of retiring to Philippines….
Some people can adjust to the heat while others have a hard time adjusting. I myself have adjusted just fine.
Philly guy wearing a cowboy hat
They might be nice guys.. nice bikes, but no way in hell am I leaving a passport....as you've said. I had one place on Siargao try and get me to do that, I went elsewhere.
I never left my passport one time? Rented several.
It’s an easy answer- YOU don’t own your passport, your government does. If you want me to leave my passport I will have to get the Australian government’s permission first
I think paizano’s pizzeria is the best Italian restaurant
Everyone has their favorite
Woah, no Iggles? Cowboys?
Sounds like the move is exactly what the Dr ordered.
Nice hat
Thanks
I wouldn't leave my pasport either. What if I need going to some place when I'm using the bike? Of course not to mention security.
I still have a token from Garfield's 2009. I have no idea when it opened. Thats where i found out what the ping pong balls were for. I was relieved and disappointed at the same time when i found out. I believe the girls got 20 pesos per ball. If i ever go back to Angeles, that will be the first bar i hit.
Never leave your passport.
They probably want a lot of money for those lots, Brian, in what looks like a pretty dead area. I lived a few blocks away from Termini Brothers Italian Bakery growing up in South Philly. Had relatives that worked there and Isgro’s Italian Bakery, both are well known for their cannoli. Haven’t had any for awhile even though I’m in the area quite often because my son lives nearby.
Brian i always hire from nice bike and never bern asked for passport he is a new guy i think i have met the owner he is expat and a nice guy
How many more days until the big move?
End of the month
Philly in the Philippines wearing a cowgirl’s hat blasphemy 😊
Hey Philly....whats with the Dallas Cowboy hat???
What happened to Philo in the Philippines?
It's not legal, I believe, to not always have your passport with you
@geary5445 Passport card doesn't prove legal immigration, might as well just carry your drivers license.
@geary5445 just carry a copy of the passport stamp page. If they want to see the real passport they can come to hotel room or wherever. Never been asked for passport in 12 trips.
Where can you eat b'fast in the province? just wondering
General Luna
Brian, I just got back from Siargao island. My favorite breakfast place was Bravo restaurant in GL right on the beach. And my over medium eggs were always done perfectly!
well i sent you 4 pages of where all the bars were back in the day...
What is the name of the oldest bar in Angeles City and where is it
@@billyfrazer8689That would be The Owl's Nest under the same owner's (British - passed last year) asawa - was Club Fantastic for a while after Pinatubo, and Flamming's (now Roel George - the daughter now runs it) on A Santos Street.
@@RayHaffenden thank you for the information
PAPI BAR AND GRILL DYING?
I think they are doing well
did you see any "Nasty Girls" while patrolling the perimeter?
The glory days will never return unless for some reason the us military comes back.
👍
LoL, once we get kicked out of a country we never come back.
The US will never use Clark nor Subic again.
@@westerm450 Never
@@thomasodetinape4180 fyi us navy utilizing Subic bay again
@@Kooliat They may be there but it's not a US base.
You yourself are moveing away i dont sèe what anyone sees in the place relies on men going to the girlie bars and from what ive seen on urr blogs i wouldnt stop there to use the cr i live in a province area good people polite service in all the shops and if your looking for a girl friend there are many to choose from so Angilies Ciity isint what most people think it is
3:35 Garfield's was opened in the late 80's by the late (highly decorated special forces Vietnam vet) John Hollis, it changed hands backward & forward several times until he sadly passed and changed hands a couple of times after. 4:43 was Matrix Brawn Bar, the owner Gen now has the Grey Fox bar. 11:40 used to be "C" Italian Restaurant, until it burned down in the early 00's it was re-opened on base but closed during lockdown.
Thanks for that information Ray
