Cowboy Grill: Awesome Live Bands

by LJWTRAIN

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. Come as you are

Videoke bars: City versus provincial nightlife

by EdVallance

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!

Carousel: Bars, Bars and more Bars

by TravelTed74

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

Zirkho: Its Time to Laugh

by julia_r

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. anything, casual will do

O Bar: Sexy Dudes

by michaeldds

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. anything goes

Cafe Havana: Cuban Music

by michaeldds

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: Embassy: @ 12 Midnight

by pacificsincity

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. Here is a quick review of this club listed below..EmbassyThe clubscene: Sexy, Wild, Loud, Dancing, Smoking, DrinkingDrugscene: Low. Drug trade inside.. i heard. haha (I haven't actually seen)Drinks: All sorts, from Alize to Zólensky Ice MUsic: R&B, Hip-Hop, House, Trance, Dj, ClubmixDays: Wildest at Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays (for regular clubscenes). Other events like Oktoberfest or Cuervo Nation depends on the scheduled day.People: Mix of celebrities, Young socialites, Locals and TouristsAge: 18 and aboveGuys: A hotness..Girls:...

Manila Baywalk: Night Life on the Baywalk

by hangerrat72

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

19 EAST: A1 MUSIC AND CHEAP BOOZE

by robertpinoy

19 East is located along the east service road near Sucat, Paranaque. As the name suggests, it is 19 kilometers from the center of Manila, which I believe is the Rizal Monument. It's an easy 20 minute drive from Makati. Their happy hour is from 6 to 9 pm and their feautured happy hour singer or band starts playing at around 6:30. Where in the world can you drink all the beer you can for 3 hours for a measly P150, approximately $3.00? Mind you this is not a sleazy and cheap joint. I believe that this place has the best sound system in Metro Manila and the main bands that play after happy hour are the best that the country can offer. So what are you waiting for, drink up dude! No sandals and sleeveless shirts.

Magic Lagoon: First Class Association Party

by Ike_2005

This was a cool little bar that we had our First Class Association Party at. We all sat around drinking for free for about 5 hours before we went out that night. During the day it's a regular bar. At night it picks up a little bit. They had a singer and guitar player for entertainment. They were a pretty good duo.
