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

Beautiful bar inside. Small table and a small go go bar. The tables have lit up fake rhino horns. The girls are cute and the waitress' very cool. Only about 12 girls working but the place may have been fleeced by the Japanse guys earlier as the place was full of Japanese high rollers when I was there.

Here's Ivory

...Beer price was 160 pesos. A lady drink cost 390 pesos. Normally, I avoid this club because it is one of the many Burgos clubs that are under an American syndicate that has high prices and the club girls are overly-aggressive. I was showing a friend his first visit of Burgos clubs and this club has upstair rooms and on-premise bj. He wanted to try the club. He apparently liked the club, because he was surrounded by five-to-six girls and enjoyed their attention. But, he did not buy a lady's drink; instead, he gave away 100-peso bills to the girls surrounding him at different intervals during our one beer there. I guess he gave away 1,500 pesos, equivalent to four lady drinks and made a half dozen girls very happy...

Burgos street, near Makati Ave and Kaalayaan Av, Makati City

-- Third and probably the best of the three expat areas for girls. I do not know this area as well as the other two areas. About 20 clubs in 4 short block area. Unlike a few years ago, the sidewalk has some viagra/cialis generic salesmen and a lot of girls offering massages in your hotel room. Much fewer beggars on the sidewalk, unlike Ermita.

-- Clubs with shows featuring well-rehearsed girls in dance routines. JOOLS, 20-minute shows every hour starting 10 pm, in costumes and stage set. STARDUST, 20-minute shows every hour starting 9:30 pm, and free serve-yourself bbq chicken wings on Wed. MIXED NUTS reportedly has a midnight show. Many clubs offer a Friday midnight show, which tend to be mostly amateurish dancing. GIRLY LOUNGE sometimes has a pole dancer.

-- Clubs with beer for 100 pesos or less: ROGUES, STARDUST, BLUSH, PLAN B, KOJAX (new). Maybe STRING (formerly Pussycats). Some clubs have happy hours, which might end at 7 pm or at 8 pm depending on the club. Some clubs have half-priced beer/drink all night, like IVORY on Wednesdays and WOW WOW WOW on Sundays.

-- A lady drink can cost nearly 400 pesos, but can be as low as 200 pesos at certain times or on certain nights.

-- Bar fine. General rule is that the bar fine is 10 times the cost of a lady drink. Mama-san's told me that the customer is expected to make an additional payment to the girl. At Kojak, 2nd floor, side street, behind Bourbon St club, the bar fine costs 2,600 pesos.
