Let me tell you right away that the nightlife and girly bar scene in Manila is extremely business oriented, and if you have just come from Bangkok you might not enjoy it at all. Firstly, the drink prices in Manila are higher than anywhere else in the Philippines. And they are generally also less entertaining, outgoing and naughty than elsewhere β that means often they ask you for drinks notice the plural even before they sit down next to you to make you feel comfortable with them.
And thirdly, Manila is just a huge, hectic and congested city with lots of traffic. And if this is your first time in Asia, well, then you will probably feel even more uncomfortable in this city. Of course you will enjoy yourself in Manila if you are aware of everything I have just described, and even though you will spend a little more money in the different girly bars, at the end of the day you are probably still lying in bed with one or two? Despite all the chaos in this city.
So here we go, this is the complete guide to the nightlife and girls scene in Manila, like always with pictures, information on prices, the exact locations on the map and also a video at the end of the post:. It does make sense to book your hotel close to either of these nightlife areas in order to minimize the amount of time you sit in the taxi remember the traffic in Manila is terrible.
If you are a bit more adventurous you might instead want to stay in Malate or Ermita that are right next to eachother near the ocean. The only type of establishment you will not find here are night clubs, if you are interested in those continue reading.
Malate is located right next to Ermita and has mostly KTVs and karaoke bars, full of young and white-skinned ladies. They are popular among Korean and Japanese men and the concept is that you pay Pesos per hours of unlimited drinking, plus Pesos per lady drink.
