Bohol Late-Night Eats & Bar Recommendation: Mango Pocha Review

📍 Mango Pocha 🍻🥢 Location: Panglao, Bohol, Philippines, in front of BS Resort On the first day of our Bohol trip, we arrived late at Panglao Airport and decided to have a light drink at Mango Pocha, conveniently located right in front of BS Resort. Even if you arrive late at night, this bar is easily accessible without any hassle. We arrived around 1 AM, feeling a bit hungry, so we headed straight to Mango Pocha without venturing far. Outdoor tables are available, and they even provide fans, making it comfortable to enjoy the night despite the warm weather. The staff were incredibly friendly, which made for a pleasant start to our trip. One of Mango Pocha's biggest advantages is that it stays open until late at night! It's the perfect spot for travelers arriving in Panglao during nighttime. The menu is in Korean, so you can order without worrying about language barriers. Interestingly, they also offer local dishes like 'Lapu-Lapu Sashimi,' which piqued our curiosity. We ordered fried cuttlefish and a bottle of Chamisul soju. There's always something comforting about finding soju abroad. The fried cuttlefish was prepared in a breadcrumb style, giving it a soft texture and a nutty flavor that became more pronounced with each bite. Pairing it with the sauce added a sweet touch, making it the perfect snack to accompany drinks. Mango Pocha uses bottled water for cooking, adding an extra layer of trustworthiness. Despite the exotic setting, the place retains a distinctly Korean vibe. We ended the night by ordering Korean-style ramen, complete with an egg, which was the perfect way to wrap up our drinking session. Here's a tip: Bohol's squid dishes are a local specialty, so be sure to try them during your visit! If you arrive in Bohol late at night and are looking for a quick bite or a casual drink, Mango Pocha is worth checking out. With Korean menu options, late-night hours, and excellent service, it’s a satisfying choice for a Bohol dining experience.
