2024 Latest Philippines Manila Cebu Nightlife Red Light District Guide

Manila Cebu Red Light District has one of the best nightlife in Asia for the following reasons:



– Party atmosphere: Filipinos[2] are known for their fun and outgoing personalities. They love to drink, dance, sing and play music. Clubs in Manila[3] are rarely tense or boring and dress codes are almost never enforced. The atmosphere can be really wild, especially in local venues with a smaller expat population (e.g. Quezon City).

– Cheap prices for alcohol, tickets and taxis: Even high-end nightclubs only charge a $10 entrance fee, which includes 2 hard drinks. You can easily get drunk in Manila for $30, which is the price of a cocktail in some bars in Singapore.

– Foreigner-friendly: English is spoken everywhere in Manila, even by security guards or taxis. - It is relatively easy to meet nice girls who are not prostitutes. While prostitution is high in Manila and there are several red light districts[4], it is also nice to date and flirt with regular local girls.

– Nightclubs and bars open late: You can go out in Manila any night of the week and always find a crowded bar or nightclub. Likewise, there is no real curfew: many clubs close at 6am, some stay open until 8am. There are some negative aspects to Manila, though. The city is still developing, and you won’t see fancy bars and clubs like you’d see in Singapore, Bangkok, or even Jakarta. Hotels are generally a bit more expensive than other parts of Southeast Asia, and the quality is average. The internet is terrible, even if it’s advertised as fast. During the day, you’ll probably spend a lot of time (not like in Jakarta anyway). There is a subway system, but it’s hot. The food isn’t great unless you’re a fan of junk food/fast food chains. Finally, safety is an issue, but in my opinion, it’s overstated. As long as you stay in the safest neighborhoods (like Makati) and use reputable taxi companies, you won’t be particularly threatened.

If you want to know more about Manila’s nightlife, this review will cover everything you need to know to party and have fun. Where to party in Manila?

Metro Manila is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world. It actually consists of several cities, including Manila itself, Makati, Pasay, Taguig, and Quezon City. Of course, you can’t visit everything in one night. Depending on personal preference, nightlife is active in the following areas:

Makati This is the main business district of Metro Manila, and it is home to many expatriates. In Makati, you should head to Poblacion Street to find the most bars and clubs.

Not far away, on P Burgos Street, the nightlife is even more chaotic. This is a red-light district full of gogo bars, freelancers, and brothels.
