About this place Rainbow Cafe and Lounge

It is a casual place for drinks with a mixed local and tourist crowd, rated 4.5 from about 150 Google reviews.

The pizza was seriously delicious, easily one of the best I've had here, and the show was really passionate and great.

The reason for a one star review. We are a gay couple who purposely wanted to support the business and artists. Upon entering we made bar staff aware we were there to drink alcohol and eat meals , estimated to be over 2800p, and yet the barman said " there is a cover charge 300p each to see the show " then the debate started back and forth. With myself stating we are here to eat and drink not just watch the show. I could not have been clearer. Eventually I said " please get me the manager this is really stupid" the manager listened and stated...... we di NOT charge cover if eating and drinking over 1kp. I suggested you better tell your barbstaff that, and because it all seems like a scam to get an extra 300p off of people, my partner does not want to come in Long story short, we did not eat or drink, manager did her best, my partner said no. Hopefully bar staff will be re trained

So glad this space exists! Went to see some drag while in Boracay and the queens were fantabulous. Drinks are very sugary- probably best to stick with Red Horse.
