If you think Tuesday nights in Bacolod are usually quiet, The Forth might convince you otherwise.
Located along BS Aquino Drive, The Forth continues to attract a steady crowd even on a weekday, offering a relaxed mix of live music, drinks, coffee, and good company. During our recent visit, the venue was already buzzing with conversations and diners while a solo acoustic performer entertained the crowd onstage under The Forth’s signature blue and purple lighting.
One thing that immediately stands out about The Forth is the size of the place. Unlike smaller cafés or bars where seating quickly becomes cramped, The Forth has a spacious layout that allows guests to comfortably enjoy the atmosphere whether they are there for dinner, casual drinks, or simply to unwind after work. The high ceilings, ambient lighting, and open dining area give the venue a modern yet laid-back feel.
The live acoustic performance added a relaxing energy to the night. Instead of an overly loud bar scene, the music complemented the atmosphere — enough to keep the venue lively while still allowing people to comfortably talk at their tables. It felt more like a midweek social spot than a full-blown party venue, which many guests seemed to appreciate.
Another thing worth mentioning is the mix of drinks available. On our table alone sat an interesting pairing: coffee and whiskey. That pretty much sums up the kind of crowd The Forth attracts — some are there winding down from work with cocktails, while others are simply enjoying coffee while listening to live music.
Even on a Tuesday, the venue maintained a healthy crowd throughout the evening, proving that Bacolod’s dining and live music scene does not only come alive during weekends. For people looking for a casual night out without the overwhelming weekend rush, Tuesday nights at The Forth offer a good balance of entertainment and comfort.
Whether you are after live acoustic music, a casual dinner spot, coffee with friends, or a relaxing drink after a long day, The Forth continues to establish itself as one of Bacolod’s reliable nightlife and hangout destinations.
