Malate: Great street scene
reklund profile photo

2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

reklund 6 reviews

I have been to manila many times and alternate my stay between malate and makati. When in malate I always enjoy the street scene that revolves around adriatico st, remedios st and around. Many great cheap places to get cold beers and local food. I usually start out at Randevous, opposite Rainbow suites on adriatico. Fun place to sit and watch the mix of people in this crazy part of Manila. Walk out and go left to remedios circle, then left again you have a street with a few clubs like cowboy grill and Socialista, also many great eaterys. Sometimes annoying with all the hawkers but can also be nice when they actually sell stuff you need or want, like smokes and peanuts.

Dress Code: None what so ever unless you want to enter some of the nightclubs.

malate is very known for being the nightlife spot in manila mainly because of the establishments around it .. and just a few years ago when the casablanca style/type of bars began to be the "in" thing in malate if you only want to have a drink or eat with friends..and doenst want the loud sounds or what ever and just look at the passers by and cars coz its basically facing the street.. you've come to the right place..and the concept of it actually came from morocco in casablanca coz almost all the bars there are like what we have in malate.. it's actually a very nice idea coz it only eats very little space for you to have a kitchen only and then you put the chairs and tables out side the street and thats it.. and almost everybody coming there also began to like drinking and being outside...so that's where the difference of ERRA'S BAR & GRILL compare to others comes in coz the management thinks of the safety of all the customers first so they had it done with a roof so that even if it rained hard customers would'nt be soaking wet with rain that's just one thing okey, second because its the nightlife spot in manila so most probably you know that you need to kinda like spend..but at ERRA'S BAR AND GRILL they are guaranteed to have the lowest/cheapest price around malate but you still get the same good quality food tons of cold beers for only having to spend less..3rd is of course they are open24hours so you dont need to feel that your still not that satisfied drinking and meeting other people..you can stay up till what time you want and believe it or not even up until the sunrise they still serve cold beers..even till sunset everytime you order a beer its always cold..and they dont just serve food and drinks they also offer friendship and that's without a price...

Dress Code: There are no dress code you'll just have to wear whats comfortable with you and what you think is

presentable coz even yourself woudnt wanna meet someone that wears something

un-appropriate

A band in Malate

Malate is the best place for going out. You have a lot of bar and pub, especially bars with live local bands, it 's a nice place to drink some beers and meet Filipino people.

Dress Code: Some bar have dress code, but not a lot ask us dress specially

The Hobbit House: Make a Short Night of It

Matt, me and the Hobbit House staff at the door

The Hobbit House is a restaurant and bar built around a Lord of the Rings theme located not far from the Baywalk and the Hyatt. Most interesting about the Hobbit House is that the wait staff is made up entirely of little people (dwarfs and midgets) who are the hobbits. They are a very genial group and happily pose for pictures or chat with you. Their English is great!
As for the offerings, the dinner food is sketchy. I had a particularly bad steak and no one in our party of six really liked their meal. On the otherhand, the beer list is extensive, with copious bottled brews from Belgium, Germany, Britain and Ireland. The entertainment is first rate also, so the next time I go I'll eat some place else first!
I bet they really do St. Patrick'd Day well here!

Malate: Paseo de Roxas

Paseo de Roxas in the evening, Manila.

At Paseo the Roxas the sunset in Manila shows its beautiful colours reflected on the Manila bay.

In the evening the boulevard gets crowded of people walking around, looking for restaurants or even for some nice spot.

Anthology: By The Baywalk

Nothing really compares the experience if 'ur in Malate especially the Baywalk and Remedios Circle. One can simply take the options of enjoyment, from fine dining, street party, ballroom dancing, live bands and acoustic jam, ktv or watching the night passes-by while drinking the finest beers or wines with your friends.

Dress Code: From formal to casual to rugged type, shirts, jeans etc....we're in a democratic country. As long as you can pay your bills, it doesn't matter anyway.

Interesting clientele, good drinks, good entertainment. Not as self-consciously upscale as the Makati clubs.

Dress Code: Informal but chic. Too hot for jackets in Manila in general but designer labels much in evidence.

Will tell u some of my favorite places in Manila/Makati/ Malate and around!
Some restaurants, bars and discos!
- Malate area try:
. Cafe Havana, a latin bar, also full of tourists, or how they say here, White guys, lots of hookers as well, wonderfull food and music! Live band on saturdays night;
. Cafe Adriatico (facing HAvana) offers good food as well;
- Hobbit house - this bar is curious, all the staff are dwarfs! U have to take care not to hit them when they come near to give ur drink! :)
Theres also the gay area of Malate, lots of bar, a really good disco that i cant remember the name now, and the most famous bar, Fidel.

 Manila is underrated as a tourist destination. It has fun places to go to. And plenty of history and art also. This is a picture of Intramuros at night.
