The quality in this bar and most bars of Makati will knock your socks off, but it's expensive. I had to fend off repeated insistant requests to buy lady drinks. I counted eight 9's on stage, long hair, brown skin, great faces and busty figures, these are some very fine looking women! Was quoted $100 USD for LT, way too much for my budget, that's my upper limit per day in the PI. Anyways, got a very half-assed BJ in the club for no extra dough, but did have to buy like four drinks at $8 or so each, and two for her friend.... The gal I really wanted, the one who quoted the $100, was a young beauty with fantastic hair to her hips. I didn't like the use of her foul language though, so thinking she was a bitchy type, I passed.... $40 less dough in my pocket and $8 taxi ride back to my hotel in Ermita. Do check out Makati, great quality at a price. By the way, Papillon Club is here and their sister club is in Cebu City. Edsa Entertainment Complex in Pasay (another area of Manila) is a much better value.

From Asia: Philippines: Manila: Blazers Guide to Manila: VI.Makati (Burgos Street)

Place has different levels. I like the upstairs level. Has a dance floor downstairs for dancing with your girl but the go go dancing is upstairs on a rail with a caveman decor. Place has cafe-type booths. Probably the best overall quality in Makati but many of the girls are seriously aloof. Remember that I rarely consider girls aloof.

This place opens at 6pm but most of the girls dont get there until 8. There are usually only about 20 girls working there but the quality is quite high. The average girl working here is about 25 but they take care of themselves so not to worry.

Papillion (Makati City - Manila - Philippines) P. Burgos Street.

Papillion is a well establised a-go-go in Makati with a respectable branch in Cebu as well. On the whole they have a better selection of ladies in terms of looks, but others, including myself, have run into a variety of attitudes. If you are in dire need of the soft, warm, and welcoming spirit common to most Filipinas you might want to look elsewhere first or risk disappointment.

If you are after a cold, overpriced, beer a hot body and a wild night, then this is a great place to start any evening.

Another slight negative...common to most other bars in Makti...rather expensive barfines. I was hit with a Php2500, negotiated to Php1900. Most Makati ladies do expect some form of additional gratuity in the neighborhood of Php1500. (All long term rates).

Just as a note - after having lived and played for a considerable amount of time in the area...most bars on P.Burgos are identical. Few have any real unique charm unlike some places in AC or BKK. Your best bet is to hop from place to place and stay just sober enough to enjoy the company of 1, 2, or 12 ladies.

Makati will offer you on the whole the most "bang" for the buck so to speak. Least hassle, as the incidents of scams and other unsavory behavior is on the rise out near EDSA

A "friendly" hotel within walking distance of Papillion, City Garden Hotel. Very nice rooms, great rates (Php900-Php2500).

Never made it into Papillion, but here's the outside of the building.

Actually this place is separated into two floors. The top floor is called "The Enchanted Room" and has some beautiful girls.

...This club or the former club with this name used to be on the corner of Burgos and Kalayaan streets, across the street from the Ringside club, until the building was razed. Now, it is next to BSCB. A beer cost 80 pesos during happy hours. Small club with a foot-high oblong stage for four dancers...
