As someone who doesn't frequent clubs, I enjoyed the entirety of my night at House Manila. I stayed until Lady Trinity's set. I ended up going home at 4 in the morning. Someone has to let loose once in a while. Last Friday (15th May), House Manila teamed up with radio station, Magic 89.9, to an event called "People from Ibiza." They invited DJ Oliver Schmitz who flew in from Ibiza to Manila for a one-night only event. There were many people in the club that night but I didn't feel so suffocated by it! It didn't feel like we were all forced to be huddled in a cramped space. It was refreshing to be honest. It did leave an impression on me and my friends and I have decided to come back some time soon. House was full of yuppies, models and creative folk. You're sure bound to meet an interesting lot (of people). I know I did!

If you want to get a couch, you need to have a reservation so you'll need to talk to one of their promoters because if you decided to go walk in, the line would probably be long! Also, they close the doors at 12 midnight (I think) so keep that in mind. They have a huge range of drinks to choose from. Wear upscale as much as possible because they won't let you in if you're dressed down or wear too casual clothes. Shorts and slippers aren't allowed when it comes to the guys. And they also ask for a valid I.D. just to make sure you're legal. It's a fun place to party with your friends!

I enjoy the happy dancey trippy vibe but at the same time I don't like my drink spilled or someone constantly bumping into our table / area because everything's so cramped up. You'd never have that problem with Chaos. There's definitely room for both types of people (dance all night or drink till you're sober). When you go to high-end bars, you usually have expectations like I do. I mean, you should get your money's worth, right? What I'm very keen on is the service and followed by the quality of whatever it is I'm paying for. Definitely worth it. They feature top DJs and artists both local and international so be sure to keep yourself updated on what's up.

My sister tagged me on a post and I knew I just had to find a way for us to go despite our busy schedules. Finally, I was able to get tickets and we made our way to Chaos to shake our booties and get our dose of Lil' Jon. It was both our first time to go to Chaos, and we were thrilled that as soon as we entered, we were greeted by the very fascinating lighting fixtures. After grabbing drinks, we were shocked to find a pole dancer strutting her stuff on a well-made "cage." She was gracious and wasn't trashy at all. In fact, it made me think of possibly taking pole dancing classes, if it meant I'd have her body and grace. Anyway, After a while, it was time for Lil' Jon and his DJ set caused the good kind of chaos. It was so much fun! At several points over his performance, cryogen guns were blasted from the stage by in-house dancers and the likes of us who have been dancing and were getting sweaty welcomes each passing of the cold air. To finish strong, Lil' Jon, along with dancers and service managers threw a champagne shower with about 10 bottles of Moet. It was crazy, tiring, and we loved it! The loos are quite the novelty, too!

They play house music and I love this place for that reason. I'd return here if I was back in Manila. It's fun. The music is great. The vibe is great.

There are three floors to the club, the last one being an outdoor terrace with DJ and bar. The first two floors on the other hand are very dark, cloudy as you can smoke indoors and relatively small.

There's no dance floor, just standing tables that people stand at, drink, semi dance at, and mingle. I only met 1 group of internationals here. The clubs in Taguig, BGC, and Makati in central Manila have more international people than here. Music was pop and mainstream and edm remixes of pop songs. My fob cousin who still lives in the Philippines and went partying with me throughout Manila preferred this club over the clubs in central Manila. It was the opposite for me. I wouldn't want to come back here but if I needed to I wouldn't mind it either.

And "dancer" is used very loosely for a lot of them. The beefcake is ok to look at. But with all the muscles, it's really awkward to just watch them move to the beat. It hurts to watch. And when they take off their shirts, all you hear are the screams of little girls in the audience like it's a Chippendales club for straight women If you want to go for just a few drinks, don't expect to be able to stand anywhere to watch the entertainment or cruise for your fling that night. The tables are reserved for bottle service, which you have to book in advance. There is a cover charge equivalent to US $20 - this includes 2 drinks. Ok great. But the question has always been, where do you stand if you're just a visitor and you don't know about the table reservations?? Any little bit of extra space they might have is dedicated to the myriad servers they employ. It's not like you can stand casually at a bar the way you can at other bars/clubs So it's really for cliques of friends to occupy the tables that surround the stage, and definitely not a place to go to meet anyone new. That is fine if that's what you want Without a table reservation, you really feel like an outsider, and they say you can stand and drink your drink at a table, but you need to leave as soon as the people who reserved the table arrive It's basically dinner theater Don't get me wrong - the drag queens are good. If they weren't, they wouldn't have a RuPaul's Drag Race Philippines franchise Personally, I won't go back This place doesn't provide a good enough balance of worthwhile performances with talking to cute Filipino boys or travelers like us It's just sad that it's only one of maybe two gay establishments total in Manila

Manila is home to a super colorful LGBTQ+ community ranging from flamboyant outfits, conservative folks, and all in between. We were ready for performances and entertainment to blow us away. O'Bar in Ortigas Center has been around for several years now, it's been one of the more popular shows around. I've seen YouTube videos of Drag Race Philippines but haven't followed religiously like RuPaul's Drag Race, but when I see these ladies perform on stage, I know I'll recognize them. We planned on coming on a Sunday with a group of 5 of us, what we all agreed was purchase a bottle of alcohol and get a lounge VIP table. The club requires each person a cover fee which included 3 drink tickets. But with the price of a bottle, table rates are fully consumable which we planned on being out for a while. What surprised us the most was not only there was one round of production, after the GoGo dancers were complete with their number, another drag show came out in a whole new repertoire!

Like some things that haven't changed, "young adults" will be young adults, this place is packed on weekends and the alcohol doesn't stop. A few months ago my friends and I had no plans and decided to take our lolo and lola selves out for a spontaneous night. Randomly, we ended up in Aracama, with an open mind and a few drinks later we actually had more fun that we thought we would!

But for those party people, the Fort Strip is a god-sent! It is lined with bars that serve beer and other booze colder than you ex-girlfriend's heart paired with heart attach inducing foods that surely screams YOLO. Famous spots here are Prive, Aracama, and Haze. If you're not into partying or is just craving for a late night food trip, Mercato Centrale is just a few blocks away and is open until the wee hours of the morning.

Zapps is probably the closest thing there is, but it gets old to go to the same place over & over. Our group of 6 decided to grab a table upstairs that oversaw the stage and the tables below. We ordered several buckets of beer, but I wanted to have some hard alcohol. None of their cocktails were available, but of course, I could order a full bottle. I was the only one drinking hard liquor so didn't order a whole bottle. I can't imagine too many in Cabanatuan ever ordering bottles so I don't understand why they wouldn't sell single shots. The service is also really slow. It took forever to hunt down a server and many times they would forget what we would order. The only saving grace here was the performers. They band played some great sets and the DJ played a good dance mix. He kept the crowd going even though it was 90% male.
