Get Wrecked Beach & Sports Bar

Get Wrecked is a laid-back beach bar with a regularly updated menu spanning local and international dishes, big screens for live sports, and a pool table.

4.1/5 on 329 Google reviews. That is the lowest rating among San Juan's well-known addresses, and it says something true: you do not come here to eat.

Get Wrecked is a beach bar in the middle of San Juan, across from the municipal gym, with tables front and back opening straight onto the sand and the sunset. It is the gathering point for San Juan's Western expatriates, the trait that comes up in almost every review. Big screens, rugby league and Australian rules football shown live, pool table inside.

What genuinely justifies the trip: happy hour, 4pm to 6pm, cocktails at 100 ₱, exactly as the sun goes down. Several guides list the spot among the best sunset points in San Juan. The beer is served very cold, which every review notes.

On the food, let us be straight. The fish and chips and the sweet and sour fish are the two dishes that come up positively; the seafood basket and the fish wrap are mentioned too. Beyond that the consensus is lukewarm: fine, no more. The mango shake is explicitly criticised. Two other complaints recur: the music is loud and the state of the toilets is disputed.

Opening hours: 11am to midnight according to Google, with no closing day. That is aggregator data and unconfirmed, so treat it with caution. Phone: +63 935 938 6380.

Our advice: arrive at 4pm for happy hour and the sunset, have a beer and some fries, and eat dinner elsewhere.
