Manila has been renowned for many years as a great venue for nightlife of all different varieties. Below we guide you through some of the major bars and nightlife areas to help you get around and give you an idea of what is going on and when. We aim to ensure that our reviews of the bars in Manila inform you on when they are busy, the average prices you can expect to pay, the ambience and type of clientele that they have etc.
We focus more on the "better" bars, which are suitable for anyone whether travelling alone or with a family or partner, with only a sprinkling of information on the infamous "girlie" bars that can be found in Manila.
As the Philippines is generally quite Americanised please do take note that it is extremely difficult to find some sporting events, especially English Premier League Football (soccer to some) being shown live in the bars around Manila. One bar Heckle & Jeckle does tend to show either slightly delayed or live football, yet it is the only one we could find in the whole of Manila. Heckle & Jeckle (telephone - 890 6904) can be found on Jupiter Street just off the end of P. Burgos. Do call in advance to see what they are playing. Alternatively nearly all hotels in Manila have very good television channels that generally include Star Sports and ESPN. These two do not normally carry English football though, but if you select a hotel which has Thai TV Channel 7, then this channel normally does show the live games, even though the commentary is in Thai.
We do try to ensure that these reviews stay as up to date as possible, however, bars being bars, they often change promotions and deals at the drop of a hat.
If you have any suggestions on bars which are not covered, please do let us know.
Bars are featured in alphabetical order, but do make sure you read all the way down as you will be quite surprised by one outstanding promotion of 30 Pesos a beer !!
