No. 3 in Iloilo
Protagonist Café & Cocktail Lounge
Festive Walk, Iloilo Business Park · Cocktail bar
Price level 3 of 4
A café that turns into a cocktail lounge after dark, with a different theme for every night of the week: Wednesday's LGBTQIA+ social, a Thursday pub quiz, Friday and Saturday party nights, and Sunday brunch with a film. The house list, 'Plot Damage', has playfully named cocktails like the Little Spicy Mango Drama and the Ube-All Right. It is Iloilo's most programmed bar, so check what's on before you go.
Research notes
Hours, weekly programme and cocktail prices from the official site (protagonist.ph and /drink), checked 2026-10-26; the site also shows special hours to 03:00 on Fri 30 Oct 2026. Iloilo Directory (listing dated April 2026) gives slightly different hours (07:00–00:00 Mon–Thu), so the official site was preferred. No interior photo available from the official site.
