Lockhard Road Wanchai
Makati's Burgos street bars have a fine reputation for nightly entertainment and it's reach is going international as Wanchai district in Hong Kong shows. Bars like New Makati Inn, Waikiki Night Club and Makati Pub and Disco offer amusement and dating places with Filipinas for guys who appreciate meeting women from the Philippines in China.
The concept of ladydrinks while providing ground for consentual meetings proves to be a commonly accepted form of hospitality business.
Massage Girls
While walking along Makati's Burgos Street it's not uncommon to be approached by attractive ladies. Most of the times they are doorgirls who want to solicit new customers for their employing establishments. Sometimes they are streetwalkers (and many of them are not female if you know what I mean) who are provinind pleasures in short time hotels on Durban Street, Makati Avenue, Buendia or somewhere in Poblacion village. However, some of the street flirters are massage therapists or promo girls handing out business cards for legitimate massage shops.
Montana Bar
To be honest, this place should be renamed to 'Vampire bar'. Their working girls are so greedy, they will try to milk out every little cent and penny out of your wallet. Shameless begging for tips, and re-negotiations make this place not so much fun. Maybe it was just a bad day in the office and others will experience better times. Their plush sitting areas are secluded and dark, while stage is lighted by spotlight for dancers. Very cozy feeling. Without GRO ladies this pace would be more entertaining.
High Heels Bar
Across Kalayaan Avenue High Heels bar is neighbor to Monatana and Mixed Nuts (ladyboy bar). It's smaller than Billboard or Jools, but pretty much average for Padre Burgos Street bars of Makati City. Possibly, similar to Mascara or Rogues from authenticity. It's more private and relaxed with dark corners and brightly lit stage. Their mamasan has her own stable of attractive Filipina dancers.
Billboard Bar

One of the most popular bars on Makati's night Mile: Billboard. On top of GRO entertainers and agogo dancers, there are coyotee girls dancing onstage. Highly attractive girls dance routines to popular RnB music. It's very relaxed place, but prices are higher than in other bars like High Heels or Flamingo. Girls here are very thirsty. They prefer shooters over Mango juice.
Ivory Bar
Ivory and Jungle are two separate bars. Ivory is the bigger one with a lot of GROs
This was my very first bar I ever visited on P. Burgos Street and it was an expensive but fun experience. Like most other girlie bars in Makati City there are dancers who work for a daily salary and GRO's who work for lady drink commissions inside Ivory Bar. Those GROs are a bit older and experienced in how to make guys feel good and important. In exchange they get drinks. Not a bad deal, but they get more drinks from you than you are ready to pay for if you don't watch out. Back then you bought 5 drinks for a girl and you could go up to the second level with a more private feel and no other customers. It could get pretty raunchy up there, but I heard that may no longer be the case.
Moonlight Hotel

There are many hotels on Burgos in Makati, but most of them are rather expensive. If you prefer smaller, cozy places for a small budget, try out Moonlight Hotel close to Mascara and Rascals bars. Warm place to stay for just 1200 Pisos a night. This is about half the price of most other hotels in this area of Poblacion. Interiours look a bit rusty, but it's rather comfortable and clean.
Marscara Bar
Small but chique: Mascara bar is known for Happy Hour prices on drinks and beautiful Filipina ladies
Somewhere in the middle of Burgos Street, Mascara bar is house between Rascals and Billboard bars. They relocated on the second floor during second half of 2011. It's a small stage and dim lights providing for a very intimate feeling, a bit raunchy with curtains on corner seats. What's going on in the VIP when the curtains close? Everybody is discreet about it, no worries. You wife won't find out about it. Dancer come and go on stage while rotating every 2 songs.
Wow Wow Wow Bar
Just at the end of P. Burgos Street opposite of Jools Niteclub you find the most intimate and one of the cheapest girlie bars: Wow Wow Wow. I was just able to shoot a rather poor photo of the door sign as a securitt guard was harassing me. It's always the same problem with those uniform guys. Just because they have a gun they think they are so strong and don't respect laws that allow everybody to take photos while standing on public ground. Well, anyhow: it was a good reason to get inside Wow Wow Wow bar and I was treated with a lot of joy and happiness. It's a fun place for drinks and watching the ladies dance. They do know how to entertain customers.
Dimples Bar
Corner of Burgos and Durban Street across from Oxford suites is home to Dimples Bar. Watch your step when entering this watering hole as there is a steep descent once you put your foot inside the door. It's pretty dark in this place. Large customer lounge with a small stage featuring up to 5 dancers with one girl leaving and new dancer entering every couple of minutes. Lots of GRO's in cocktail dresses who will approach you for a chat. Of course, all they want are ladydrinks.
