Ermita Manila's LA CAFE-Weekends' Live Music Open 24 Hours
METRO-MANILA NIGHTLIFE
Manila's former nightlife district, Ermita, changed drastically when
Mayor Lim ordered many of the "bikini bars" with young dancers closed in the early 90s. In recent years more
"girlie bars" are opening in Ermita and there are a couple of places with live music, The Cowboy Bar and
Grill on Mabini, the nearby beer garden venue with 4 bands nightly and LA Cafe located on M.H.Del
Pilar Street corner of Salas Street.( the first street runnng parallel to Manila Bay's Roxas Blvd )
2007 UPDATE: Sorry to inform you that Manila's BEST development in 40 years, "BAYWALK"
has been CLOSED by the NEW returning MAYOR LIM since the June 2007 election. It was a new, really upbeat
development in Manila's nightlife's scene stretching for almost one mile along Manila Bay's Roxas Blvd's seawall
from Ermita to Malate. There are a variety of sidewalk cafes serving an array of international cuisines like Thai, Chinese,
Korean, Hawaiian, Filipino, Spanish foods with two or more fantastic local Filipino live bands playing on the weekends and
during special occasions.
In the "University Belt", Merricks across from University of Santo Tomas (
usually called "UST" ) is small but cozy with mostly students and live music.
MAKATI
is the financial district of Manila where most of the banks, embassies and airline offices are located with most of the nightlife
located on P.Burgos Street, Makati Avenue, P. Burgos and their intersecting streets. A few of the bars, Bar Bandido,
The Jungle Room, Mogambos, Wild West, the Flamingo, , Jools, Foxy's, Go Go Bananas, Bottoms, Papillon, Dimples, Hollywood,
Rogues, Rascals, Ivory, Cuddles, Fire and Rain and the Hard Rock Cafe offer quite
an assortment of mostly male entertainment. Two freelancer bars similiar to the LA Cafe but without live bands are the
Night Train ( formerly The Underground Bar ) and next door The Matrix with friendly willing companions
available for a night of fun. Depending on their sense of humor and adventure women would probably have
more fun at the higher end hotel discos and bars or places which provide live music which cater to a more mixed crowd.
A few of the former over 100 bars in Ermita moved to EDSA in Pasay City not far from Roxas Blvd, near the Heritage
Hotel and Casino Filipino and across from the Copacabana Hotel. The EDSA INTERNATIONAL ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX houses
The Firehouse, The Pit Stop, My Fair Club, Casino, Jamilla's, Chaos, Visions, Miss Universe and Fates.
E. Dela Santos Avenue is always called "EDSA",the circular 8 lane freeway with traffic signals around Manila with
the newly operational MRT, elevated monorail train in the middle.
But most of the bars closed down in Ermita moved
to Angeles City 2 or 3 years after the Mt. Pinatubo Volcano erupted in 91 and 92. So few bar districts in Asia, even "Soi
Cowboy" or Patpong in Bangkok can match Field's Avenue and its side streets in Dau, street and subsurb of Angeles
bordering the fence and entrance of the former USA Clark Airforce Base.
QUEZON CITY NIGHTLIFE
caters to mostly Filipino customers and is rarely visited by most foreigners. 1st choice is the "Stardust"
Located at exactly 1182 Quezon Ave and across the street, "You and Me": 2nd choice place ( New
management ) with a VIP room where all is possible on the premises.3rd choice is a tie between the "Mystique",
located just a few bars down from Stardust and La Legende, where an upstairs private
rooms are available at P1100 before 8PM and P1500 afterwards with a special massage service is offered by "Uncle
Frank". Tips expected between P500 to P1500 depending on service. More Quezon City nightclubs: Classmate,
Pegasus, Infinity, Genie, Pharaoh and Air Force One
CEBU CITY - One bar, "The
Lone Star Saloon" in Cebu City's nightlife area on Maxilom Ave. is recommended by many male travelers and
you might try "Our Place" on Palaez St run by Wes. A more "seedy" area is Sanciangko
Street with lots of street action but take special caution if you decide to take "a look".
Don,
a local foreigner recommends "Exotica" on Mango street run by an American named Bill and "Dimples"
on the same street. A few other places on Mango make it the best "bar area" to visit. The club, "St
Moritz" out by Lagug is an excellent "watering hole". Don says if you feel like splurging for better
quality all around visit "The Fireplace" which is the nicest and most expensive but worth it.
In Puerto Galera, Mindoro all of the nightlife is on SABANG with a few "girlie" bars like the Sunset
Disco, Sabang Disco and the Umbrella Bar or Blue Star and other places like it
to enjoy a few sunset "Happy Hour" drinks.
On Boracay Island the main two "pick-up" places
with room to dance are at Hey Judes during one of their promo parties, at the Boracay Regncy Hotel's
"The Wave Disco" open until 4 AM usually in season. But there are numerous places like SUMMER
PLACE and a small artistically arranged place next to Nadine's Real Coffee, south of the Red Coconut, both located
in the middle of the White Beach where a motley group of travelers meet and hang out under the stars. And last but not least is ANGELES CITY's Dau's FIELD'S AVENUE BAR DISTRICT one of the BEST in S.E. Asia.Located
2+ hours north of Metro-Manila along the boundary of the former Clark Airforce base, now a special economic zone and Manila's
secondary hub for international airline traffic. The following links will help you navigate around the
80+ bars and restaurants.
