Lakay Sports Bar Billiards

Lakay Sports Bar Billiards is on P. Paredes Street in Sampaloc, at number 974. The Facebook page calls it the place where you meet the nicest people in town. It has a two peso sign price range, and Google puts a night out at roughly ₱500 to ₱1,000 per person.

The main draw is pool. A reviewer says there are two floors of tables, so finding one is rarely a problem. The same review mentions about ₱100 an hour for a table, but that is an older price, so ask when you arrive. Reviewers also mention videoke and say the bouncers are polite.

Music is the second draw. Recent posts promote Freaky Friday with DJ and MC lineups, a Saturday night with DJ Shaqwave and MC Steve, and a big Halloween costume party on October 31. These nights get crowded, and the page describes the crowd as going wild.

Google lists it open late, with closing at 6AM, and the Facebook page shows it as always open. The sheet has 9AM to 6AM daily. You can dine in and reserve. IDs are checked at the door, so bring one. Rating on Google is 4.1 from 276 reviews. The website listed for it did not load when we tried.
