RumBar

RumBar is a beachfront bar set right on the sand in San Juan, on Siquijor's west coast, between the town centre and Solangon. It suits travellers who want a sunset drink that can stretch into a late night, which is rare on this side of the island.

What to expect

Seating is on cushions directly on the sand, facing the sunset. The music shifts from relaxed tunes in the early evening to livelier party sets later on, with live music on some nights. RumBar stays open into the small hours, roughly until 2am or 3am most days, which makes it one of the few late-night options on this stretch of coast.

Drinks and food

The frozen mango margarita and the mango shakes are the orders reviewers mention most, along with rum and coke and reasonably priced beers. Food is less consistent: some guests praise the spicy shrimp and the calamari, and others appreciate the breakfast options, while several report slow service and bland dishes when the bar is busy. It works better for cocktails and company than for a full dinner.

Prices and reviews

Prices are moderate by Siquijor standards. RumBar is rated 3.9/5 on Google from 211 reviews (October 2026). The setting and the late hours earn the praise; service speed at peak times and uneven food draw the criticism.

Practical

To check what is on, including live music nights, call +63 945 249 5290. The bar is easy to reach by tricycle or scooter from San Juan town centre along the circumferential road.

Who it suits

Night owls, groups of friends and solo travellers after a relaxed beach setting with music. Those looking for a quiet dinner should eat elsewhere first.
