Everyone loves a good deal; and in Baguio City’s night market, there are plenty. Here, you can find all sorts of things from shoes, bags, clothes, street food, and even kitchenware and house decor items. You’d just have to walk the length of it to find out what other things might interest you. Pro-tip though, if you want to avoid people, you might want to avoid visiting the night market on Fridays and weekends. These days, you might have a hard time looking through all the apparel.
Try Craft Beers
If you’re looking for something new for a chill night with friends, why not try having a taste run of Baguio Craft Brewery’s freshly brewed beers. They have 18 rotating taps that present an assortment of beer flavors. Their fruity ones include strawberry, passionfruit, and kiwi. They also have wheat beers such as the Kabunyan (American wheat beer) and the Rolling Fog (German Hefeweizen). If you want to opt for the heavier ones, take a pick from their ale assortment.
Open Mics
Open mics gather a lot of talented people who are passionate about arts and a lot of pieces performed in these places do offer something to think about. If you want an artful experience of Baguio City at night, catch one of these either at Cafe Yagam or at the Mt. Cloud Bookshop. Just ask around. And don’t worry if you’re not the type to perform in front of people. You can just sit back and simply bask in the different songs, slam poetry, and other performances there.
