…for whatever reason I sit again with Jenny at her bar and talking bad about anybody who comes into my mind…. hehe. But seriously, I like the place as it is very unique for the nightlife in Duamguete and is also run by  very unique person. Jenny and Gina invested quite some money into the renovation an created a nice atmosphere.

The prices are some of the lowest in Dumaguete and the food tasty. I was there now a couple of times and the guests are a great mixture. Whether some locals sitting shy in the dark with a Tanduay long-neck, Expats alone or in a group at the Bar, or couples having a bite to eat, everything usually comes together at one point of the time and the crowd talks drinks and laughs together.

Each weekend is usually a liveband scheduled. Coyotes opens in the morning until midnight and really hope that Gina and Jenny show a longer consistency than the owner before. We are in Dumaguete and things take a bit longer until they are known and run smoothly. I’ll be there this weekend and have a few drinks. This weekend are 2 bands one on Friday and one on Saturday. 

In the bar is also a Karaoke system which can run fairly hot if the crowd demands. The Disco is a bit different as the mirrors are on the Top what makes the dancing chicks looking better than in other places where they just stare at their feet.

For that reason I scheduled a appointment at Silliman Medical Center. They will replace my liver with a sponge.

Coyotes Bar can be found 2 km after Robinsons south direction in Banilad on the right side. Look for the green lights. More information about: Coyotes Bar, Disco and Restaurant in Dumaguete

Hayahay is a very famous Open Air Restaurant in Dumaguete. The variety of food reaches from fresh sea-food to different local dishes and good Pizza. They have three -. If you wanna use them, better give them a call and make a reservation. The baked Talaba (Oyster) for 120 Peso is a must-try. The beer-prices are around 30 peso and the food has a good value for the price. Pizza is in the range 180 - 260 Peso. All fish and seafood is fresh and you can choose your crabs and lobster from the tank.

Hayahay is also well known for good life music. Wednesday is the day where all Dumaguete Rastafari go to listen to some bands including the local heroes ENCHI. Thursday is acoustic night with Allen who also plays some sets on friday in exchange with a band where i forgot the name. It is the day for smooth jazzy pop. Saturday are some louder tunes around when there is the Rock night.

One thing I recognized at the last visit is that Hayahay seems to charge a kind of foreigner or longnose tax of 4 %. I mentioned it to the waitress and asked what it is and she said government tax. As there are NO 4% government tax in the Philippines I asked again. She blushed (what is very rare in  the PI) and walked away. Another waiter came and said I don’t have to pay it !?! Also funny that the day before I was visiting Hayahay and had 3 beer at the bar and paid 90 peso. There was no government or long-nose tax on that. It is also not mentioned anywhere in the menu that there is a government tax ox service charge. … Or it is just a price-rise for foreigners ??? 

 It is not about the 4 %, I just don’t like if guys who eat and drink a lot, get charged extra on top of it. Maybe we should also occupy 2 big tables with 8 people and drink 2 Red Horse grande in 5 hours, but order a bucket of ice each 15 minutes.  

Still a great Hang-Out, I will follow up with Sande the manager why, what and when this 4% are charged and when not…

 cheers
