Rizal Promenade

Located in the old part of town, the Rizal Promenade is an alleyway that is home to a number of restaurants, bars, and clubs (some with KTV, if karaoke is something you're up for). The vibe here is quite laid-back, and bar-hopping couldn't be easier.

Bars & Nightlife

Nightlife in Davao might not seem quite as vibrant as one would expect from a cosmopolitan city with over a million residents – this may be, partially, due to the alcohol curfew currently imposed here. The curfew forbids the sale and consumption of alcohol in public places between midnight and 8 am - a regulation that has forced many business owners to convert bars into restaurants and massage parlours, a transformation most noticeable in Torres Street - the former Davao nightlife hot-spot. However, some popular evening venues still in operation do include jazz clubs and piano bars, excellent restaurants with live music, and even nightclubs, leaving visitors with quite a few options to choose from.
