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.
First Barhop
My first barhop in Padre Burgos Street in Makati City happened in 2000. Until today this strip has not changed too much and even the drink prices are approximately the same. Back then I was overwhelmed by the exotic beauty of Filipina girls who were working in Burgos Street bars as exotic dancers, GROs and waitresses. It's often portrait as a strip of bars, but there is more to it: Burgos Street is Makati's red-light district for foreigners. There are other RLDs in Makati where local Filipino guys find their easy women like in E. Zobel casas and bars along J.P. Rizal and Tejeron Street, but most foreigners prefer to drink and party here on Burgos Street and it's cozy bars. During my next couple of posts I will be introducing you to all bars and some hot Filipino girls. Stay tuned for more.
