 | Manila Makati Reviews | Tips 11 - 20 of 23 |  |
Makati Avenue, Jupiter Street and Pasay Road offer great dining treats and also live entertainment. Discos, watering holes, bars, KTV's and music lounges here are open until early morn. Big restaurants can be found in the malls (Glorietta and QUAD Centres) and the five-star hotels around the area. Of course there is a Hard Rock Cafe as well.
Being on my own in Manila, I decided to heed the warnings and be back in my hotel when it got dark. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Manila is a very lifely city and you will find that there is plenty to do in the evenings and nights. The tourist area of 'Malate' is always busy as well as the clubs and bars in 'Makati'. If you like live music performances: Manila is the place to be.
I was abolutely surprised by the number of venues that offered live performances. And there's plenty variety too. Whether you like jazz, rock, soul, country or any other type of music: you are likely to find a suitable spot. I enjoyed the nights out with my collegues and friends when we went to different clubs for performances of our favorite Filipino bands.
I loved the fact the the Filipinos consider food (munchies & snacks) part of a night out. There was no way we could go somewhere and just order drinks without something to to munch to go with it :-)
Basically dress as you like, but for the more international & trendy clubs you might feel more comfortabel if you'd dress the part. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: 'Zu': Shangri-La Hotel, Ayala Avenue. Ayala Center, Makati tel. 816-4792

An art masterpiece on its own, the M Cafe at Greenbelt 3 in Makati City is officially known as Museum Cafe, as it is housed under the new Ayala Museum. Boasting of sleek white and wood interiors mixed with original contemporary Filipino art, this is certainly a destination for a classy night out.
Dress to impress. Although there is no "dress code" expressed, come casual at your own risk. People are stylish - frequent haunt of haute couture fans and people from the fashion industry. M Cafe is situated in the same building as Louis Vuitton et al. Theme: Eating and DrinkingAddress: Ground Floor, Greenbelt 4, Ayala Center, MakatiDirections: Along Ayala Ave., just tell the cab to drop you off at Greenbelt 4.

They say some of the best places are "off the beaten path". Saguijo is one of them. Found along Guijo St. in the residential Makati suburb of San Antonio (Sa means "at" + Guijo = Sa Guijo). An old house that was converted into a venue for watching the best indie musicians, Saguijo's enclave of resident artists have transformed the place into an art lover's mecca.
Aside from aural indulgences (take your pick from metal, indie rock, disco punk, electronica, acid jazz, stinq quartets and hip-hop) from at least 5 bands per night, the second floor is home to the Theo Gallery, a quaint home to some of the best up-and-coming Filipino talents and Baul (which means "treasure chest"), a shop that sells vintage fashion as well as consigned items from young, avant-garde designers. Baul used to be the iloveyou store, which now moved beside gay bar Government.
Definitely the place to go to if you're in for a dose of art, live music, laid-back atmosphere and free-spirited company. Some nights have themes, such as Karaoke Night, Prom Night, Punk Goes Pop Night, etc. so be open to anything!
There is a cover charge of P 100 (USD 2), inclusive of a local beer. Very very cheap.
Come as you are. Some people even enter with their house clothes on (ie. shorts, tank tops, flip flops). The less articles of clothing, the better as it tends to get really hot during popular nights.

Turn right on Bagtikan Road then left at Guijo.Website: www.saguijo.com

I've heard his place described as the place to "see and be seen" in Makati, but in fairness I didn't find it to be anything particularly special. Located upstairs in a dark and moody corner of the mall, it rather reminded me of my student days! Everyone was trying that bit too hard to be cool. But the crowd was friendly enough.
