083 554 4423 Q Bar and Restaurant, General Santos City most happening party place has recently closed shop. This restorer located at Succinct Complex has been the venue for the Tuna Capital's most talked-about and patronized weekend party events since it opened almost two years ago. I have actually never been to one of their parties. However, Judging from the music blaring from their speakers and the loud shrieks and laughter of their young and hip crowd which you could hear outside and the throngs of party people waiting in the premises of Succinct wanting to go in, one can easily deduce that their events have always been box-office hits!The good news however is, Veranda Bar (located at the 4th floor of Tandem Building also along the National Highway, about 3 kilometers from Succinct Complex) which lords it over the mostly younger teen crowd will be taking over the place vacated by Q Bar. They will be calling the new place, the V BAR. Hopefully, V Bar will give Gentian's participles more reason to patronize it this time.

I myself would want it to be more than Just a bar and serve really good food even during the day. The city still lacks better restaurants for the lunchtime crowd and V Bar could easily fill the void if its owners want to. This way too, the new V Bar will be attracting more than Just the party people on weekends but also the bodies on weekdays Consider these names: World Club Deejays- International DC Jerry Funk, DC Young Jean. Whoa!With all these star deejays, only a rock would not be forced to sway to their combined mixing strength! Just got an invitation to the opening of what is being touted as General Santos City newest hangout, Where Else Bar. Formerly an establishment which offered online bingo games but has since closed down late last year, the new Where Else Bar has been transformed by its new owners into a happenings place. As such, it will offer performances from acoustic singers, on weekdays and stand-up comedians and video singing with comic sing-along masters much like the ones in Manila like The Library, Zircon, Clown, Leafing, among others, during weekends.

Here is their weekly line-up: Monday- Bar Music Tuesday - Search for Comedians Competition Wednesday - Acoustic Music/Performers Thursday - Video with Sing-along Masters Friday - Acoustic Music/Performers Saturday - Stand-up Comedians from Aegean and Dave Cover charge is IIOP per person. This new incarnation of Where Else Bar will be unveiled on January 28, 2011 at pm. Located at the 2nd floor of the Building A of East Asia Royals Hotel Arcade, this one promises to be another FAA and eave hangout of Gentian's fickle-minded night owls and participles! But with its novelty, and hopefully a good mix of talented performers, Where Else Bar will undoubtedly soon develop into one of South Central Madonna's must-visit landmarks! Tag Bar Tag Bar will offer you a new experience. They cater to all "night crawlers.

Its ambiance combines cultural handmade products and modern designs. You can hang out here with friends and have a cozy time. You can also connect to the Internet with its free WI-IF. Visitors can enjoy a spectacular view of Agrarians Bay and the lights of General Santos City. The bar offers cocktails, very affordable Pullmans and flowing drinks, besides cold beers.
