Nightclubs and bars in Philippines

I was very impressed with this bar. I love live local bands no matter where i visit. I will tell you i have never been to a live venue that gave me that total enjoyment. The bands were from different types of music and they all were very good. I love the outfits that the wait staff wear its a perfect match to the atmosphere. Great food and cold beer it was great. I will definitely return and encourage everyone that has a chance to do the same.

Dress Code: Come as you are

While big cities such as Manila have an array of swanky clubs and bars, out in provincial towns these simply do not exist. Nightlife is limited to videoke (karaoke with video) bars almost exclusively populated by men and sometimes used as fronts for brothels.
The national obsession with karaoke is not limited to these bars, however. Many Filipinos have a videoke machine in their home and will meet up with their friends in the evening to sing. Whether at home or in a bar, usually any drinking will either involve Tanduay rum or San Miguel beer.
In smaller or more remote provincial towns (or even in less touristy areas of Manila!) as a foreign visitor you are very likely to be invited to join in in the drinking and singing. Give it a go - everyone sings no matter how badly and there's almost no way you can be worse than some of them!

I decided to try this bar because my wife recommended it. Great atmosphere with lots of dancing girls and friendly people as always when in the Philippines. Drinks are priced a little higher when in a bar but still great value compared to home. Once again, keep tabs on what you buy or else you will be paying for a lot more than you have had.

Dress Code: Jeans, trainers, shoes, trousers, shirt or t-shirt. Anything goes really.

This is a comedy bar but i will classify it as PG (Parental Guidance), since some of the comedy acts or jokes are for adults. They also sing songs, at times even with their audience.

Dress Code: anything, casual will do

Wow, sexy male go-go dancers, load music, friendly crowd, and room to grove on the dance floor. The crowd was mixed- straight and other- very frendly/ no attitude. Being the only white boy in attendence, I was getting a lot of attention. Spent the night dancing w/ some local Filippino girls and a German girl or line dancing w/ the boys. The waiter (see photo) was great and kept the long island ice teas coming. Fun spot, even if you are a middle aged straight guy.

Dress Code: anything goes

Great bar to have a Mojito and watch the world go by. An open air cafe that faces all the activity on Remedios Circle. Cafe Havana features a stylish cigar bar, great Cuban music, and best of all, a beautiful waitress that will show you a few Salsa moves.

The Fort Strip is a very busy spot at Fort Bonifacio, Global City, Philippines. There are a lot of clubs in the Strip, just go by each one and check the party scene. It is beside other great clubs like Jaipur or East of St. Louis, so people can easily club hop. The music gets cranked up and loud at around 11pm till sunrise. One club that I love is Embassy.

Dress Code: Smart Casual, Casual, Trendy. No slippers or Undershirts.

Walking along the bay of Manila at night offers a few things for tourists. Besides having that cooling breeze come in from the bay, it's a great place to stroll from each open air restaurant for food, drinks, and great entertainment by the many bands that play along the walk.
Music ranges from disco to hip-hop; performed by local bands.
This is a great place to "people-watch" as it is a great attraction for the "out-of-towners".
On a side note, make sure you check out the restaurant that has wait-staff that is comprised of nothing more than "Little People". I apologize if I am PC-incorrect...no offense intended.
Pictures up comming!!!

Dress Code: Very casual...although I wouldn't wear speedos or a tank...you have to have SOME standards.
