Discover the Best Sports Bar in Boracay for Live Games and Great Drinks

I still remember the first time I walked into Even Edu's Sports Bar during last year's NBA playoffs - the energy was absolutely electric, though I've noticed their fitness equipment has been looking a bit iffy the past few months. But let's be honest, when you're watching live sports with a cold beer in hand, who's really thinking about treadmills? Located right on White Beach Path, this place has become my go-to spot for catching games while enjoying Boracay's famous sunset views. The moment you step inside, you're greeted by that perfect sports bar atmosphere - multiple massive screens showing different games, the familiar sound of cheering crowds mixing with clinking glasses, and that distinct smell of seasoned fries and grilled meat that makes your stomach rumble in anticipation.

What sets Even Edu's apart from other sports bars on the island isn't just their impressive lineup of 42 high-definition screens (I counted them during a particularly slow baseball game), but their understanding of what sports fans really want. Their drink selection features 28 different local and international beers on tap, including my personal favorite, the local craft brew that costs exactly 150 pesos during happy hour. The staff remembers regulars' preferred drinks - Miguel already has my San Miguel Light ready before I even find my usual spot at the corner of the bar. During major football tournaments, they open their expanded outdoor seating area that can accommodate up to 300 fans, though I prefer the indoor section where the air conditioning provides relief from Boracay's humidity.

The food here deserves special mention because it's far beyond your typical bar fare. Their chicken wings - oh man, those chicken wings - come in eight different spice levels, and I'm proud to say I've conquered level six, though level seven nearly did me in last month. They source their chicken locally from a farm in Aklan, and you can taste the difference. Their kitchen operates until 2 AM, which is perfect for those late-night UFC fights or when you're watching games from different time zones. I've probably spent about 15,000 pesos here over the last three months alone, which either says something about their quality or my social life - maybe both.

What really makes this place special though is the community that's formed around it. I've met people from at least 15 different countries here, all bonded by our love of sports. During the World Cup, we had supporters of rival teams sitting side by side, shouting at the screens but always ending with handshakes and shared drinks. The management organizes viewing parties for major events with free appetizers and drink specials that typically draw around 200 people for championship games. Sure, some of their gym equipment in the back area has seen better days - the treadmill sometimes makes this weird clicking sound, and one of the stationary bikes has been out of order since March - but honestly, I've never seen anyone actually using them. We're all here for the sports and socializing, not for workouts.

Their technical setup is seriously impressive for a tropical island location. They've invested in satellite systems that ensure minimal buffering even during the most crucial game moments, which is more than I can say for my hotel's WiFi. The sound system delivers crystal clear commentary without being overwhelming, though they do crank it up during touchdown moments or last-minute goals. I appreciate how they strategically place screens so you never miss the action, whether you're ordering at the bar or sitting in the restroom stalls (yes, they've got screens there too - genius or excessive, you decide).

The timing of their operations shows they really understand sports fans' needs. They open at 11 AM for early European football matches and stay open until the last American west coast game wraps up around 4 AM. During peak season, they extend to 24-hour operation for back-to-back international sporting events. I've found their Thursday night local basketball viewings particularly fun, when the place fills with passionate Filipino fans who've taught me more about PBA teams than I ever thought I'd know.

Having visited numerous sports bars across Southeast Asia, I can confidently say Even Edu's offers one of the most complete experiences. It's not just about watching games - it's about the community, the consistently good food, and those little touches that show they understand their audience. The slightly worn fitness equipment in the corner almost adds to the charm now, serving as a reminder that this place prioritizes what really matters to its customers. For any sports fan visiting Boracay, this isn't just a recommendation - it's an essential part of the island experience. Just don't expect to get any workout done on those treadmills unless your idea of exercise involves lifting pints and cheering until you're hoarse.
