Matina Town Square

Top choice in Davao


A collection of outdoor bars and food joints, and a handful of more upscale restaurants and clubs, MTS is a lively and fun spot. On Tuesday nights there’s a free outdoor show of indigenous music and dance; other nights there's also live music, usually of the pop variety. The stage fronts dozens of tables and several barbecue restaurant stalls.

Also in MTS is Kanto Jazz Blues, a nice bar with singer-songwriter-type performers.
