    I've been to the Hobbit House (named after the book by JRR Tolkien) a few times now, and love the fun and friendly atmosphere there. The bar is staffed almost entirely by 'little people', but there is certainly no sense that anyone is being exploited.
    The live music is almost always excellent - last time I was there, there was a great Blues band playing, called (I think) 'Huka'.
    I much prefer the Manila Hobbit House to it's Boracay counterpart though, which looks cheap and tacky - like something from disneyland!
    I've not really eaten there aside from bar snacks, so I can't really comment on the food, but I'd definately recommend going there for a few beers if you are visiting the city.

    Casual.

    You don't have to be an oldie to enjoy the retro and contemporary dance music this band plays. The singers are - well, nice to look at... They're members of the famous Manila entertainment Cruz clan. And the Captain's Bar is no slouch when it comes to making you feel 5-star! Impressive selection of single malts. And, of course, the local brew- San Miguel!

    Smart casuals. No shorts, sandals, or sleeveless shirts.

    If you like live music - then this is a must see. Just be prepared to dance because you won't be able to stop yourself from hitting the dance floor, dancing! :o)

    Not for the shy or the faint of heart! Get up onstage with the band and jam with them - if you sing or play the guitar. Or even the drums. If not, then you can shake your groove thang with Nancy - guaranteed to make your night!

    Conspiracy Garden Cafe
    by bike_packer, 2 more photos
    Conspiracy Garden Café is actually a Music Bar where artists play their music in acoustics. It got its name since the place was conceived (in conspiration) by artists who wanted a venue to come together and express their piece. In such a way, that the place is owned and operated by the artists/conspirators which by default make them regular performers in the place.

    The music bar is primarily a No-Smoking air-conditioned hall while a spacious garden outside is open for smokers where outdoor speakers plays the music from the music hall. Check the performers cum conspirators and part-time owners - Noel Cabangon, Joey Ayala, Cynthia Alexander, Bayang Barrios, Gary Granada, and Cookie Chua.

    Wear anything comfortable. Happy hour starts at 9PM onwards. Very cheap price for food and drinks. P40/bottle of ice cold SanMiguelBeer. P150 cover charge.

    Live Entertainment: Good Ol' Folk Music at My Brother's Moustache Bar

    by bike_packer
    My Brother’s Moustache Folk Bar is the home of local folk musicians. Jess Bartolome, Florante, Freddie Aguilar, Joey Ayala, Asin, Juan dela Cruz and upcoming artists are the regular performers.

    The folk music bar is where you can listen to the soothing good old folk music covers of the late ‘70s and ‘80s. Much of that music reminiscing and reviving the music of America, Jim Croce, Simon and Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, and many more.

    The place serves good Filipino food and delicious appetizers that go well with an ice cold SMBeer.

    Wear casual clothes. Music plays from 7PM onwards.

    Live Entertainment: 70s Bistro - Everybody Let Their Hair Down!

    70s Bistro in QC, I attest is the Best Place to watch and enjoy the country's Top Local Bands as well as solo artists. Rock, Folk, Reggae, Alternative, World Music. This is the place to have a real feel of the local music scene. (I am sorry but no Pop or Top 40 music here.) The performers are guaranteed to play soulfully their pieces here - believe me. Every band that gone mainstream most probably traces their roots at 70s Bistro. You really feel the performers gamely interacting (or in a more appropriate word - "jamming") with the audience as if it was just an ordinary party of friends. "Everybody let their hair down."

    The best names in the folk-rock musical scene performs here - The Jerks, Noel Cabangon, Joey Ayala, Gary Granada, Asin , Kamikaze, Cooky Chua, Pinikpikan, Tropical Depression and many more. What we truly love and enjoy to the fullest performing here is the country's most favorite, ever-enduring, coolest and best band - PAROKYA ni EDGAR!

    Before I forget, they serve good appetizers here that go with that comfortably numbing bucketful of cold San Miguel Beer (P35 a bottle). Worth trying - Sisig, Calamares, Lollipops, Crispy shrimps and Dilis. (P150 per serving). P100 Cover Charge.

    Wear something that might be comfortable and easy whenever you feel like dancing to the rhythm. Happy hour starts at 9PM till the performers run out of energy. Hahaha! I mean by 2AM, everybody (that includes the performer) had their enough shot of numbing intakes to call it a Good Night! Peace!!!
