The Manila Clubbing guide is created because of the lack of up-to-date, frequently updated nightlife sites and clubbing guides that cover the best nightlife and hotspots in Manila, Philippines. There are quite some sites and blogs that cover clubs, nightlife and the party scene in general, but most of them are outdated, hard to navigate and usually only cover a small selection of what Manila has to offer. Also it seems that most of the biggest clubs don’t even bother to update their websites and calendars (if they even have a website). And even when you know the name of a club, it is still hard to find up-to-date information about the club. When you search for any particular club or hotspot you will usually get results from (outdated) blogs and old news articles. The official websites from most of the clubs are usually very hard to to find, because they are made in flash and are not optimized to be found in search engines.
The goal with this website is to provide inside information about the best clubs, bars, lounges, parties, clubnights, hotspots and general info about nightlife in Manila. We are trying to make the Manila Clubbing website the best, most accurate and most up to date Manila nightlife guide. We visit the hottest parties, clubs, bars and lounges multiple times a week. We always try to find and cover the latest hotspots and the hottest and hippest places in town, so all information on this site is from first hand experience. We don’t get paid to write about the clubs and places featured on this site. All information is based on our own knowledge and experience. We love to party and we like to share our information with other people that love to party. Especially for people that are new to the Manila party scene and for those who want to get up to date information about the latest clubs and hotspots. This site also covers frequently asked questions that always get asked (but rarely answered) on the clubs’ Facebook pages and on Twitter, such as how to book tables, how to get in, entrance fees, dress-codes, crowds, music, the best nights to go, etc. etc.
People in Manila and the Philippines in general love to party. There are literally hundreds of places to go out drinking and have a good time. You can party in Manila every single night of the week. Manila never sleeps! No matter what your taste in music is, no matter what your budget is, you will always find a good place in Manila to party!
Of course we can’t cover every place in Manila, and some places we rarely visit, but we will try to cover as many clubs and lounges as we can.
Hope you keep this going!
good stuff
This is great dude, keep it up & let the music,dancing and wild chiks take away the manila nights
Hi,
I really like your blog site coz its truly very helpful specially now that I am doing a magazine section which features DJs, clubs and events organized or sponsored by Pinoys.
On a separate note:
I’m also a DJ (since 1986) and at the same time the creative director/writer for a Dubai-based Filipino magazine. My section talks about DJs in the UAE, particularly in Dubai but also feature DJs elsewhere in the world and also do some bits of information of the clubs and venues of DJs that I interview.
Anyway, I would like to take this opportunity to ask for your recommendation of best clubs to go to when I arrive in Manila and look for DJs, events and venues to feature. I will be in Manila starting August 1.
Looking forward to your response.
Cheers,
Allan
What kind of music are you into? House or hiphop/mashup?
It’s my first time to see this site and I like it, this is very helpful especially for my upcoming birthday this septmber.
Glad you like it. For the best party I recommend Friday’s in Republiq.
I’ve been to a lot of clubs bit I think there are lots of places still to discover. I really want to have a super party hope you can help me find one.
This is really awesome!!!! Thank you for making a really nice site. You are smart pioneer of this! Keep it up
I’m so glad that someones put up a site like this. I’ve been going back to the Philippines every year for the past 4-5 years, and every time i go back i try to look for the nightlife in Manila. You’re right, it’s so damn hard to find a website about the hottest clubs in Manila. Eventually I end up giving up and just relaxing at the beaches for the duration of my stay.
I’m going back this Nov- Feb but I’ll definitely be staying in Manila this coming Jan, and I’ll be bringing (hopefully) one of my best mates from Australia for my 21st. I can’t wait to check out these places.
Again, thank you very much and keep up the good work…

Hey there!
I saw your blog when I was google-ing for clubs in Makati/Fort area. Anyway, I am hoping that you could recommend a club/bar that has a stage big enough to hold a mini dance show. Something like 7th High’s Club, around that size or bigger. It’s really hard to rely on search engines to give me the information I need.
Please PM me your recommendations!
Thanks a LOT!

In Makati try Icon or Palladium. Those would be your best bet.
Hi, do you still need to stand in line even though you have a platinum table at republic?
There is a separate table entrance, but if multiple groups with tables arrive at the same time, you still might have to wait a little.
Hi, My friends and I are Hip Hop/RnB/Dancehall lovers, we will be staying a whole week in Manila and plan to party everyday til we drop:) Which clubs and days do u recommend us to go that will give us the scenery we’re looking for?
Thanks.
Most clubs play hip-hop/r&b/mashup, but it’s all commercial (mainly top40 and classic hiphop hits). Republiq on Friday is a must, and maybe KYSS (small club in Makati, but awesome DJs) or 7th High on Saturday (7th High has a younger crowd and is more laid back). You can also party in Manor, they have great DJs, but it’s mainly local people and a younger crowed. Thursdays you could go to Guilly’s in Quezon City (mainly locals), they have good DJs. If you like more high-class places you can try Prive on Wednesdays. Republiq on Wednesdays is great as well.
What’s a good spot to go to on a Sunday? My friend and I are staying in Makati and wanted to know if any of the nicer clubs or lounges are open.
Sunday is not a big night in Manila. You could check some bars like The Distillery on Jupiter or the sports bars around P.Burgos such as Heckle and Jeckle or Handle Bar. Or just hang out in Greenbelt where you can find plenty of bars and restaurants.
I wonder how much is it to get in to buddha bar, please let me know……. I wanna bring my girlfriends there!!!
There is no entrance. You can just go and have some cocktails with your friends
If you go on Friday or Saturday you should go early, it get’s busy fast.
Hi How to get in to LMFAO after party at Repub? Thanks..
No info yet, as soon as there is info we will post it
where would you recommend we go for hip-hop/dance this saturday? showing a friend around, and we’re not big fans of house so no republiq for us.
try 7th high, or prive if you want more luxury
Nice write ups and very informative. Manila has needed a site like this for a while. I’m looking forward to getting back there soon from the US and checking out some of the new clubs. If I’m lucky I will get a few gigs when I’m there. Keep up the great work on the site! Cheers!
This is such a brilliant website! Big help to party people and newbies as well. Good Job!
