Burgos Street Makati

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. Full story »

Moonlight Hotel

Snapped this image with my iphone at night

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.

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. Full story »

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. Full story »

Dimples Bar

Tourist — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 18:32:00 +0000

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. Full story »

First Barhop

Tourist — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 20:27:00 +0000

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. Full story »
