Barrel Bar in Siargao Is Where You Can Find the Best Burger in the Island
Barrel, a 24/7 sports bar situated along the main street of the municipality of General Luna in Siargao, prides itself in their irresistible burgers that have made tourists, and even locals, go crazy over it.
The bar’s owner, Bell Tefora, shared that their well-loved burgers were not a part of their original menu. In fact, the bar was first known for its chicken, when it opened in 2016. “For the first sixth months [of the bar], we only served chicken. But when the burger was added, people loved it,” she said.
It was Christmas in 2016 when the owner and her boyfriend were the only ones left to man the kitchen. Since many establishments were closed, they decided to open their store for customers, however, they only had burgers to serve as it was the only food they could offer at their convenience. “We were surprised that after that day, many were looking for that burger. And that made us decide to regularly serve and include it in our menu,” Tefora shared.
