Manila has the best live music in Asia. For great group vocals, try Strumms on Jupiter Street, which is a 5-10 minute taxi ride from the hotel. Cover charge is small and can be applied to food and drink. Tremendous live entertainment for a very reasonable amount. Wish Tokyo had something similar.

There is this Green Belt 3 complex, just across our hotel, where night dining and meeting new friends are possible. We also visited Clark (Angeles) city were we stayed in the Century (casino) Hotel. Won some money in the slot machine and a good place to shop especially in "Robinsons". Things are cheaper than in Manila.

If you are going for the tenderloin district of Burgos this isn't a bad place. Excellent location surrounded by may pubs. The mall and shops at Greenbelt are convenient by taxi.

Go to see Tribe of Levi playing at Friends, El Pueblo - great bar and absolutely wonderful band. It is 30 yards from the hotel and a sensational Saturday night out.

Shopping & eating out at Robinson Plaza nearby while in Manila; I like "Mario's Kitchen" at "Taste Buds" one floor above National Bookstore, inside that mall. I found better USD to Pesos rate offered by the foreign exchange counter inside Robinson Department Store than "Robinson Bank" branch inside the same mall. If you like open air diner w/loud music bands, go to one of those restaurants at Manila Bay sea-side; the other option is "Ratsky" at Tomas Morato Ave. in Quezon City, a little bit faraway by taxi but music band w/ filipino (dirty??) jokes, I found it crowded but my filipino friends like that place very much.
For inexpensive seafood, I went to DAMPA (wet marked), beyond the int'l airport in Paranaque; you buy your own seafood from the market & take it to one of those existing restaurants nearby & they cooked it the way you want. Always went around by taxi as I found the fare not expensive by my benchmark, but be prepared to tell the driver by which route you want to arrive at your destination as most of the time taxi drivers will make a long detour in order to have a bigger fare. My solution was to tell the driver once inside that I'm in a hurry & that I will give a tips when the trip is quite long.
Always lock both rear-doors once you are inside a taxi & beware of cellphone snatcher when you talk with or when your cellphone is visible while walking on the street/road. Don't let your wife/girlfriend/daughter dangle the cellphone by a lanyard. Keep in mind that your USD150 valuable is more or less equal to one month salary for the majority of the locals. If you use Philippines SIM card for your calls, GLOBE is ok for major cities, but use SMART at places in the provinces as the latter network coverage is much better.

I mainly go to Manila to do ballroom dancing. There are a number of venues but my favourites are 318 in Alabang, Harmony in Greenhills area and ITM in the heart of Makati.

No need to get a taxi to go to karaoke and girly bars; they're right outside within walking distance (you will be approached by beggars though if you are walking, also in taxi if you leave the window open). Makati is 20 mins away by taxi (80-90p) but there most prices are double those in Pasay, especially entertainment!!! Bands and singers in the Philippines are the absolute best in Asia if not the world.
