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

Small, narrow bar with small stage but two or three of the best looking girls in Makati worked here. One asked for 5,000 for her services and she could get it any night.

Here's a photos of Cuddles.



There are so many bars around Burgos St that I never made it into this one. The street to the right is Kalayaan running Southeast. The white building in the background is Foxy's. I never made it in their either.

Very pushy waiters and mamasans there.

I walked in and was accosted by two mamasans to immediately buy them drinks. At 300 pesos each I decided to pass. Where the hell was I, Nogales?

Then three girls all aproached me. We went back to the booth for about an hour of touching and grabbing and chat. They all orderd shots of tequilla. We were later by a foorth, but I did not purchase a drink for her.

The anonying waiter was there every 5 minutes to ask about more drinks. I held him off each time. The girls never made any efort to leave though, even though I didn't have any intention of purchasing any more drinks.

One 21 year old caught my eye. She gave me her number and I may call her tonight after she gets off work at 4am. She really wanted to come back with me, but would not talk price, which kind on concerns me. Overall some nice quality. Mamasan said they would have about 50 girls later in the evening.

Dude, the LD pressure in Makati is out of this world and the mamasans are ruthless. This bar is the epitome of this. I felt like I was being accosted as soon as I walked in. Your doing the right thing by having a girl meet you after work.

Now as you read this keep in mind that I did very little research beyond some skimming of the Manila guides and reports and what friends have told me. I had a little idea of what I was walking into, but not a good grasp on it.

I walked in around 6pm and there were about three ladies dancing on the stage. This bar was pretty small and narrow and the stage probably only accommodates about 5-6 dancers total. The mamasan comes over and plops herself down next to me and demands that I order her a drink. I tell her no way.

Then after about five minutes of sitting alone I was attacked by four ladies. Somehow, and I don’t remember how, they convinced me to take them all back to a private glass enclosed dark booth directly behind me and buy them all a round of drinks at 300 pesos each. So I did that and that is where some heavy petting, tit sucking, dick massaging and kissing took place.

The mileage was decent, but near as good as what someone could get in AC for a third of the price. The frolicking was decent and fun, bit still quite expensive compared to AC, but not quite as expensive as say buying ladies drinks in Nogales.

There was one lady in particular I took a liking to. Her name was Dori and she was 22. She was very, very skinny and did not have a large chest at all. She wanted me to take her, but I politely explained that I was not going to pay her 3000 peso barfine and then pay her on top of that. She immediately, but discreetly wrote her cell phone number on a napkin for me and told me to call her either tonight at 4am when she got off work or tomorrow in the daytime.

Sweet! My first Makati lady and she was already willing to part with the barfine to spend some time with me. I told her I would probably call her later tonight to hookup. I gave her a hug and kiss goodbye and then headed over to Foxy’s.

I should also note that Cuddles had incredibly high drink pressure. There was a gay guy who claimed to be a supervisor or manager and the dude was so annoying. He was constantly coming back into the private booth like every two minutes asking about more drinks for the ladies. Then he promised me a free shot and I had to “remind” him several times before he brought it. The whole atmosphere at Cuddles was annoying and I don’t recommend the bar at all. The talent was decent and I got out of the place with a phone number, but I still would bypass this bar.
