Lollipop is the bar with the big lollipop sign, next door to Gecko’s at the top of Walking Street, a few doors from Dollhouse. It’s been on the strip for years — the old listings have it as part of a small local group of bars — and it’s trading in 2026 with a steady flow of Google reviews.
The look is exactly what the sign promises: neon, colour, a lit-up stage set right in the middle of the floor so you can sit around it on any side and watch the dancers without craning your neck. It sells itself as a ‘fantasy bar’, which in practice means bright cocktails, a friendly, flirty crew, and dance sets that are more fun than they are polished. Reviewers — men and, unusually for the strip, a fair few women who came with their partners — call it laid-back and lively, which is a neat trick for a go-go bar to pull off. There’s a happy hour early in the evening, worth catching if you’re starting your night at the top of the strip.
Size-wise it’s a step up from Gecko’s next door but nowhere near the big rooms; call it mid-sized. The system is the standard one: your beer, her ladies’ drink if you want company at your table, a tip on the way out. Prices are mid-strip — local beer around ₱120–160 and ladies’ drinks from about ₱300 as of August 2026, no cover. One quirk worth knowing: several listings and reviews say Lollipop closes earlier than its neighbours — one has it shutting around 01:00 — so it’s an early-to-mid-evening stop rather than a last drink.
Reviews are mixed the way every strip bar’s are: most people had a good, silly night; a few grumble about the bill or a frosty greeting on an off night. My usual advice — pay as you go, know what you’ve ordered — covers it.
Harry remembers Lollipop and Gecko’s as the two little rooms you did back to back between the big ones, and that’s still the move in 2026. Start at Lollipop while the happy hour is on, slide next door for the quiet, then brace yourself for Dollhouse.
