Best Bars, Clubs, or Discos in town

[bLaCk]

1. Hard Rock.... for anyone talaga...
2. Blue Lizard... ashtig...
3. Annapolis Live... great bands....
4. Virgin Cafe.... cool place, sarap ng drinks...
5. Chatterbox... cheap stuff, great bands
6. The Fort... exotic people...
7. Kampo... cool bands
8. Studebaker's.... german pride...
9. Ratsky's... cool hangout...
10. Formula Sports... no comment....

[sexy_eyes]

INSOMNIA!!!!the best

[Kamatayan]

Di ba wala na Blue Lizard and Studebakers ??? But when it existed, we used to hang out at Blue Lizard a lot, lalo na nung Cybertheque pa siya...

[Soren]

I enjoy going to 10 Years After Ortigas since I get to see familiar faces and the sounds are somewhat predictable. The menu (food and drinks) could be more extensive but so far, it is ok.

Insomnia is okay if you are in a racy mood and just out to hang out.

Ratsky's Malate is a nice place to just enjoy some live music. However, the beams do get in the way. Better be early. Annapolis Live is too functional... lacks design. So is Virgin Cafe.

There is this upcoming event on Dec 11 in Glorietta.. Gatecrasher.. should be fun!!

[Ira]

I like TYA every 10th of the month....booze is only 10 bucks from 9:50-10:10 pm. PhP100 lang solve ka na. There are a lot of nice bars in the QC-Pasig-Malate area, too. I don't like Makati much, the crowd's too pretentious, especially the high school kids.

[fhunkeemonkee]

mayrics, where people are not pretentious

[bLaCk]

they might be gone....
but the memories linger....
saya talaga ng barkada before....

[wolverine]

i prefer the loud clubs of malate... the verve room for hard rock & roll. gotham for some pop rock. commonground and the lobby for techno beats. suburbia, only when side a is playing. insomnia for hangning out. cafe breton for cozy relaxations. pepe & pilar for light meals.

... too bad i heard that agb's is now closed. that's one cool place to party.

[KuHRant^21]

I like going to Sambos to mingle around and get those cheap beers, then maybe Venezia (mingle din but with aircon :) ) or Spoon in Alabang para long trip naman.. I didn't really like Orange that much coz it's to "concealed", kung nagbrown-out don, freak out na! Kayong mga PaRtY ppl, where do you usually venture pag sabado nite?

[frenzy]

Got a lot of choices really...

[wengz]

insomnia, venezia, where else or club spoon http://www.pinoyexchange.com/smokin.gif

Hi! Saan ba malapit ang Club Spoon sa Alabang?? Hindi ko siya alam puntahan mag-isa e...

[dudung]

Has anybody been to a "foam party"?

What happens in a "foam party" and what is actually a "foam party"? Heard of it but am not sure whether I understood it correctly.

[amber!!]

dudung, foam party is like one big bubble bath party, :D as in you get wet and crazy..never been to one but it looks fun.

[bleuporsche]

i used to be in ABG's as in always but now it's closed already.

i like Sambos, fat willy's, republic, and insomnia

[AltarBoy^_^]

Dati ABG's, kaso sarado na. Ngayon sa Porch bar sa Bautista st., Palanan Makati! Cheap beer, good food and great club music.

[KuHRant^21]

If you notice nowadays, bars and clubs are fast to lose their crowd, parang cell fone lang yan e, very trendy and as with all trends, gets faded soon. I remember I could barely go to the second flr of Travessia at 1am coz ang daming tao! ngayon, it's closed na! but I can't really understand what happened to FORT! I mean, parking is definitely not a problem there! Sawa lang *****... I think now it's Porch that's a G spot

[AltarBoy^_^]

Let's make a survey of recent nightspots turned hotspots for the teenagers, the yuppies and the not-so-young genre. Post the name of your bar that you frequent and tell us what's good in this bar. And you can post issues regarding these bars and clubs too! Peace! :smokin:

[LHFchick]

fer me its...

1) IL ponticiello...beautiful crowd...u gotta know d people who hang out there or ud look like a total loser :bleh:

2) ROCKWELL..that stretch of bars outside..ish da place to be...steady n' relaxed :) i usually stay near struan n' tangs..

3) PAKWAN/BASEMENT...small red cozy bar...great fr small parties or to just sit n' unwind after a rough G in seveneightorange,c2 or wherever...

...all these are in MAKATI..da place tuh be!

[cLeVa']

in otha words...conyo places..ho-hum....

[Chesca84]

in no particular order:
. Il Ponticello - azzuri, anyone?
. Underground
. Rockwell - you can't go wrong, the place has that Paris-sidewalks feel, plenty of choices for plenty of palates
. Ponana, Libis- the new Venezia? Looks to me as though the original crowd moved across the city. Same faces, same music, same fun!

[luwa_ng_bulkan]

ROCKWELL- Try Burgoo!(3rd floor of Powerplant) or Ubar and any of the bars outside. For me, it's the coolest!

[AltarBoy^_^]

It's sad to know that a lot of bars have closed too like Stars, Sambo's and Kemistry. These places were great havens for relaxing and unwinding party music. Heaven save us from the conyos! The scene has a new face in the bars you just mentioned. You guys tried Twilos? I tried Ponana but I was too drunk to appreciate it, I'll try to be sober the next time I go there. Oh yeah, please do try Porch bar too in Makati. Please share some more views may they be bad or good. :smokin:

[PsycheBurst11]

[AltarBoy^_^]

I assume that you've been to Spincrazy too. All I know is that they play R&B and Hip-hop there, so what else is good in that place? :smokin:

[PsycheBurst11]

altarboy>>>>>>>yup....ive been there usually when im in libis i go bar hopping since most of the bars there has no entrance fee but still get that god felling of having fun!Libis has this great crowd always......Libis bars are most popular maybe on their cheap prices of drinks and foods,great hiphop and rnb music which teens or even the 20's crowd will love!!!!its all abt. having fun i guess....spincrazy is beside padispoint right???.yup.nice place......cactus for billiards maybe...gery's for chillin.....there's a lot e,basta you go visit libis nalang para malaman nung iba......i live in cainta and libis has been a lot of help...no need to go to malate or makati that much unlike b4,lapit lang very accesible,besides libis is really geat coz i love drag racing myself..heheheehe!!!!peace out!!!

I live in pasay and makati and malate have been my favorite hang-outs talaga but it's good to know that you guys in the north have place you can say your own and that the scene has shifted from the old places to libis because some nightspots closed down and they knew libis would entice dragsters and north people. Sadly though, Alabang ain't what I expected it to be, but they still have great places too. Oh yeah, a friend of mine had a short stint as a manager in Spincrazy but he never told me about the place itself. Do try to find more nightspots in makati, coz theres more to see than 78orange, venezia, or the other conyo havens. :smokin:

[PsycheBurst11]

dont worry i will :),ive been to most clubs din in mkati coz we usually hang out there most of the time before until Libis takes its place...i mean as ive said...very accesible for us...pag uwi ko in the phils. maybe ill go clubbing again..:D..and checkout this new clubs and bars over at makati...anyway tell me more "a club to see" aight...and paguwi ko.dang!ill be all over.tnx..:)

[wInD_bLoWn]

Zsechwan If you don't know it, you better look for it and try it. Great people, great ambiance, great drinks, cool enough to suit your mood.

[Emma]

Libis area the best :) Pero for good music, I still go back to the places near me...Freedom Bar and 70's Bistro. If only I could always go out at night...

no kidding! i was there too, got there around 1am, and the line was long!!! Gosh they made us look like school boys and girls standing obediently in line. But the wait was worth it! My other friends whom i was supposed to meet there took a look at the line and bolted. Poor them, they sure missed out :-)

was there last night. The place's way cool, with those super cheap drinks and way loud music. Too bad there's not much space to dance.

Hey! I was there too! Sayang hindi tayo nagkakilala! I spend my nights there kasi I tried q.c. talaga but I can't keep myself waiting in line! Porch has a more relaxed atmosphere but the space was really designed to cramp the party people inside. If it got too big, you might just call it a club and not a bar. Hope you enjoyed yourself there and I invite the rest of you pexers here to join us there! Just because Libis is the next best thing, it doesn't mean the scene is just there! :smokin:

[AltarBoy^_^]

BTW, DJ Patch, a former DJ of Verve, Kemistry, Joy and the late ABG's spins in Porch every friday night. He played last saturday at Il Ponticello too! He's a good friend of mine and I'm inviting you all to come and listen to the best of vocal and disco house that he plays. He can even play the oldies and deep house too! :walkman2: :smokin:

WTF!?!?!? there's a new club in manila called Twilo?!?!!? talk about originality...first came Moomba, now Twilo? what will they think of next?? Halcyon or Spa or heck, Cafeteria? all of them are New York City clubs. In my opinion, they should just have copied the concept..but the name? talk about intellectual copyrights infringement. what a rip off!?!?!?!?!?!?!? dyan magaling ang pinoy, sa pagiging manggagaya!

anyways, i've heard so much about Ponana and Basement. hope it's cool.

i know exactly what you mean, i've been in those NYC clubs too. Anyway The Basement is okay, you can just sit, smoke and drink as you please for any length of time and the drinks aren't that steep. The music's okay but there's no dancing in there. I prefer its neighbor, Orange ;p
Ponana on the other hand is one of my must-be-there's. Too bad the place gets too crowded beginning eleven pm. Small price to pay...

I did enjoy myself, Porch is the perfect bar. My friends and i just begun going there, but we've definitely taken a spot for it. We were so tired of bumping elbows with people over at Ponana! If you were people-watching, i was wearing a red halter and a denim miniskirt. We created a fuss over at the bar , kakahiya!! Nakitext pa kami from a guy we'd just met because i was low in battery.. talk about bloopers!!
My friends and i have already made plans to be there next Sat.
Hey party people, let's round up at Porch!!

[Wicca]

Good Old Malate. I love the crowd there, none of those pretentious kids hanging around. Wide variety of bars & restaurants. I normally hit the Orosa area, its a lot more quiet and cozy than Nakpil (except for JOY)

Batavia - love their atis cheesecake
Cafe Breton - a classic... need i say more?
Raj - if you want to try something new (exotic)
Garlic Rose - delicious food, prices aren't cheap but not sky high either
Pepe & Pilar - i used to hang out here a lot on weekdays, good place to just talk & drink... they even serve food i loved as a kid
JOY - if you don't mind being around gay people, its fun :)
Luna - yummy pasta prices are like garlic rose's

... its the perfect place for a great dinner (don't forget the red wine!) and excellent dessert. good date place.

LOL! Talk about JOY, I remembered DJ Patch telling me his "experiences" while spinning. Talk about sexual harassment! :lol:

Chesca,
I really didn't notice you at that time. Must be alcohol in my mind again. LOL! Anyway, do hope to see you there! And I hope you guys follow too! Just try Porch muna. :smokin:

[AltarBoy^_^]

[HollyWoodian]

[AltarBoy^_^]

Hollywoodian,
Yeah, I've been to question mark, pero dati pa yun. How's the scene there ba? May bilyaran sa itaas, the drinks are affordable like Porch pero mas gusto ko kasi counterstrike sa tabi niya. Com.Shack. Hehehehehehe!!! :smokin:

[AltarBoy^_^]

Can anyone tell me what happened to Mas Y Mas? I heard that a new management is running this place besides Common Ground in Malate. How's the scene there? :smokin:

[sistasoul]

mas y mas has been dead for quite a while now...i dont really like it there, the downstairs part is too smokey!

Thanks! Actually, I'm trying to reduce my "vampiric" activities. You can't always go out and have fun. But I only go in Porch most of the time because it's the nearest place to my house! Hehehehehe!!! :vamp: :evil_lol:

You guys up for a party EB? Winterswirl needs to party between Manila and Makati! Anybody care to vote where we can meet and just talk?! I don't mind if it ain't Porch coz I'm only needed there on saturdays! Friday night would be my choice to meet! Just holla if you guys want to party! Alcohol lang! Not the other "party" stuff I mean. :smokin:

Hi ppl...JoshEvans here...this is my first post for this site and i do appreciate that it has threads about nightlife and also, its nice to see ppl talk about the scene...to give u an idea, unfortunately, a lot of bars have already closed around makati and with regards to Venezia, its a good thing we still have some loyal visitors around as well as the regulars to keep us up on the scene...a year ago, we used to see the place fullhouse already at about 11pm..well up to now, we have managed to keep it that way...the difference is that peeps are pouring in late like around 1 am so the party just starts up at those times and thank god we still do manage to put the party ppl in place until around 5 am...as posted by Chesca....maybe yes maybe not...I guess Ponana and Venezia have two different crowds since ive heard from other club DJs who have visited the place say that they play trance and hardhouse stuffs during primetime hours, which is entirely different from Venezia's style of music BUT i havent been gone really to the place to actually know what their DJs play for the crowd...i believe we both have different styles when it comes to music since we both play different genres if thats the case. The stuffs that we bring in to you folks, MINUS the cheesy traxx that we play (mainstream dance and commercial traxx just to make those ppl stay), is more of house and garage...this includes all types of house music such as funky, deep, vocal, and so forth and to give you an idea of what i really play, my favorite is actually filtered house...the reason some housemusic followers have remained loyal to Venezia is becoz of the music, new choons that we managed to play for the crowd since we do this not only to entertain everyone but also to educate them about what dance music really is all about...we just make it a point to play some trance and hardhouse for everyone once in a while just to let them know that we have all those stuffs that they request but again...its nice to see places like Ponana and the others sprouting in and out, giving Manila the image that it always portray as the dance music mecca of Asia.

JoshEvans - Club Venezia Resident DJ

[Chesca84]

Josh
was at Venezia last Saturday, the crowd was still the same, but you have to admit, most of the regulars such as me do take their time to check out Ponana too, and i can say this because i hang out with the same crowd. I begun going to Vene ever since i begun really clubbing and going out, i've always made it an itinerary because it's got a great crowd and i like it there. When i said "the new Venezia?" i didn't mean to say the old and original one has been replaced, because even i still go there, and Vene despite its age still has its customers because they're loyal indeed /me raises hand.

[JoshEvans]

Hi Chesca! thanx for sticking with us for the past few years and we do thank all those ppl who have been visiting the place even though there are tons of bars sprouting all over the metro and giving Venezia a run for their money...I was actually invited by some friends to visit other places and i really wanted to join them but unfortunately, i dont have the liberty of time. anyway, ill *** sometime when you go back to Venezia...just drop by the booth anytime.

[JoshEvans]

Hi Altar.....yep i was with Patch last weekend and it was really nice spinning with the boys. mad props to that guy since i found out we both have the same style. he told me he spins at porch on fridays and K8 on sats...erwin edralin was also there for the chivas regal party. prior to patch's set, we discussed a lot about upcoming tracks coming out in the market and it's nice that he is up to date on what he plays...guys like him should be given more exposure by event promoters since he's doin well on the scene. ill try to drop by porch if i have time just to visit both of u. u guys are doin fine so just continue with wot ur doin', let's bring the house music scene in manila to higher levels!

[numbereight]

Check out FLUTE wine bar and resto in salcedo village, makati across makati sports club along L p Leviste st. beside ralph's. Cool place, although its frequented by an older crowd and a lot of expats, it still holds a good ambiance for you to hang out and talk without having to order the mandatory coffee. The food's pricey but really good. Beer is cheap too. Music varies from chill-out, trip-hop, deep house, garage and discohouse. Stuff to groove to. So do drop by.

[AltarBoy^_^]

Thanks Josh! We all have the same tastes when it comes to House Music and I do believe that we can take it to a higher level if we make more people aware of what we spin and we keep ourselves updated on what's hot. Patch has been helping me a lot in compilations. I'm just a beginner but I have been watching guys like you and patch for some time and observing what kind of music to play and I believe that house is the best among the rest because it is where it all began when it was still underground in the u.s. Hope you can share more knowledge with apprentices like me. :smokin:

Keep the House pumping dude!

And say hi to numbereight a.k.a. DJ Patch! He'll be spinning soon in Bistro 110 again and in seveneightorange. :up: :walkman2:

u bet and ill ***!

[cHarL!e's AngEL]

how about C2, is it ok there?

[tr|n|ty]

C2's all right, a few months ago when i was home, some of my friends were guest DJs every friday. On regular days, it's more of an older crowd because of the location(AIM building).

[AltarBoy^_^]

Josh,
I might pass by Venezia this coming weekend. Hope you'll be there and I'll be asking for tips and info on the latest house music you can share. Thanks! :up: :walkman2:

[JoshEvans]

no problem just drop by anytime

[xyzseaman]

Man, grabe naman. Reading this thread made me realize that I was sooooooooooooooooooo outdated na talaga! Pagnabakasyon ako diyan, pupuntahan ko lahat ng mga clubs/bars/discos na minentioned ninyo.

Anyway, is there an EB or something?

[Chesca84]

was at Porch last night, not too many people which suited me just fine after a few hot and sticky hours at Wherelse?. Who among you went out? I'm still nursing last night's hangover, i haven't touched food or water ever since i hit the bed this early morning.
Anyway, who's up for an eb? I wouldn't mind mingling with party people like myself, and perhaps downing a few beers in your company. Wherever, whenever. Who's up for it?

[AltarBoy^_^]

Chesca,
I'll be in porch tonite. Just bring along your friends and drink till you drop. Just be careful and the weather's kinda nasty right now. :smokin:

Josh,
Thank you! If I can't be there tomorrow, it means I'm stuck in a flooded area. lol! :lol:

:walkman2:

[JoshEvans]

party cancelled......

[AltarBoy^_^]

the party was cancelled? but anyway, I wasn't able to come because a lot of my friends were inviting me over at twilo's and malate but it was all too crazy last night so I decided not to go anywhere besides porch. I guess everyone was everywhere and I can't be at two or three places at one time. I'll make it up to you josh and I'll just go there next weekend or whenever you spin, just tell me what time and I'll try to pass by.

Party hard and drive safely! :smokin: :cheers: :walkman2:

[JoshEvans]

hi AB, yup the party was cancelled because they were anticipating the bad weather...anyway..the line up was changed as well...it'll be me, Matt and Steve Mills on the decks..Selecta Cornetto's "Dare to Party" street party at Glorietta in Makati on the stretch fronting the former Virgin Cafe up to CPK, this will be on the 30th of June...spinning by 5pm up to 8pm since the bands will take over by 9pm...drop by if ya have time....this is the best time for me to play garage without the cheese on top hehe..***

Cool! :up:
I'll be shopping for cd's by that time in Glorietta so it's perfect. Never thought about compiling UK Garage but I did try spinning them. Guess I'm still stuck with Disco and Vocal House for now. :smokin:

I'll just approach you or your fellow djs and just trip out with what your dishing out dude. Hopefully in the near future, I could buy turntables and spin myself to ecstacy. :lol:

Music is the Answer! :walkman2:

[JoshEvans]

LOL its US garage that i was referring to...not UK garage/2 step thing hehe. like i've said, i love to play the filter and vocal side of house music, and ive got some new stuffs to play this saturday...i hope it wont be cancelled again hehe.

[sullen boy]

Mayric's pa rin!!! *okay*

oops! my mistake! it's US Garage. :silly: :lol:
hopefully, I can receive some cds I got from a friend in Chicago and try them out by next week. Problem about saturday is that I'm spinning in Porch. Sheesh! I'll force patch to trade places with me. And I pray that it won't rain too.:lol:

Welcome sullen boy/lechon!!! :D
Mas gusto ko Jekyl and Hyde Bar dahil may reggae bands! Hehehehehehehe!!! :evil: :smoker:

Music is My High! :walkman2:

[JoshEvans]

AB! okie hehe...give my regards to Patch...tell him ill visit u guys sometime at Porch.

[AltarBoy^_^]

Thanks dude! Hope we could jam in the near future too! :up:

[Mikoid]

[offtopic] Perhaps JoshEvans and Altarboy could spin during PEx's Anniversary this September...

[AltarBoy^_^]

Thanks Mikoid! I'm sure Josh would be delighted. I'll try to compile some more house music for you guys by september if you really want me coz I believe that Josh has a better and wider selection of house music. Check us out muna in Porch and Venezia. :up:

Music is the Answer :walkman2:

[Mikoid]

Maybe we can have a House EB at your spinning venues before the Anniv. I don't really frequent either Venezia or Porch, being more of a band person myself. But if I'm going with a bunch, I'd love to check it out!

[AltarBoy^_^]

Feel free to visit us. I enjoy watching bands myself. A friend of mine who is also a porch barfly happens to be the lead singer for Xerps and my other gal-pal sings for Pido and Take One. The more the merrier!:up: :smokin:

I Love House Music! :walkman2:

[numbereight]

Altarboy! I cant play this Saturday at Porch, Im playin Joy in Orosa, Malate. (Yup, they dig the groovy stuff there too.) Im playin Porch on Friday instead, but I hope you and Rio can jam para triple threat naman ulit tayo. I can follow on Sat but during afterhours after Joy. My decks will be complete for Porch on Fri and Sat. That means Turntables and mixer (Yeeehay!). Josh! drop bye Porch if you can. C U Guys!

[Wicca]

BadGirl When JOY first opened, wala pang bouncers. They only started putting them when people started bar hopping & brining drinks from outside. They started charging Php 150 or 200 for entrance and you get a drink or two (Insomnia also did this that same time). I'm not sure now if they still charge for entrance, I havn't been in touch with my gay friends for some time na kasi. I don't go there pag wala akong kasamang gay... medyo uncomfy kasi (unless lesbian ako hehehe) Sana naman hindi kasi hindi na naman ganun ka dami na pumupunta sa Malate eh. Pansin ko lang sa crowd sa JOY hindi sila ganun ka friendly sa pa-girl na gay... yung crowd dun yung mga akala mo guy na guy pero :*) sayang! hehehe

[AltarBoy^_^]

numbereight,
thanks for the info. just be sure you get your @ss in porch as soon as possible. And try to protect your @ss when you spin in Joy! :lol:

Welcome Wicca! Do try to pass by Venezia and Porch from time to time.:smokin:

House Music is My High! :walkman2:

[JoshEvans]

[AltarBoy^_^]

Josh,
numbereight is dj patch dude! he's disguising himself as a basketball player wearing jersey number 8! He's playing power forward too! :lol:

Our set usually starts at around 10:30-11:30. You should try to bring some of your stuff too and jam with us. :smokin:

To Spin is to Flow through Music. :walkman2:

[JoshEvans]

wow the man wants to become anonymous haha, yeah ill bring my stuff kung hindi naman nakakahiya hehe, ill ***

[AltarBoy^_^]

Bring your top ten house music selection so I can listen to them. Patch is spinning on friday na lang daw. So go visit him there, I'll drop by in case you go there and please stay as much as possible so we could discuss about the scene. :smokin:

Vocal House! :walkman2:

[_|^C^|_]

uy patch is here pala! hi bossing! :D PM na lang kita since i know u'd never be able to guess who i am :lol:

Tough House :walkman2:

[leelayce]

guys: where is sanctum?





:bubble:

[AltarBoy^_^]

Sanctum is located in the Intramuros ruins (think Mas Y Mas). I heard that a lot of poetry reading happens there and I would definitely advise people of all walks of life to try this place and maybe showcase your talents in being poets too! :up:

DJ Patch of Porch Bar and K8 will be spinning in SevenEightOrange this coming friday, July 20. Hope you partyphiles can come! :up: :smokin:

KEEP THE HOUSE PUMPING!!! :walkman2:

[dyzfunk]

I usually go to Venezia and Azzuro. Lately, I've been going to Rockwell too. Venezia is still tops for me, although the place gets too crowded/stifling on weekends..

[thomyorke]

Sanctum is the place to check out.

- just watch out for your drink, there's this guy from there who just gets any glass of drink that he sees.

i should know, he got mine and of another person beside me. hehehehehehehehe

peace!

:D :D :D

[tr|n|ty]

i heard Flute is one of manila's best kept secrets.

[tr|n|ty]

PePs-i went to APT last last week..cool place sha...very hush hush kinda thing...i highly recommend this other place, man ray...very hip very cool..good place to go stargazing, if u know what i mean :p

[tr|n|ty]

that's exactly it!! it's the new york branch of the parisian hot spot!!

[JoshEvans]

oh i see. I hope to see you spin before you migrate dude. And I hope that something better will happen to you where you go! Don't forget to pex when you get there. :up: :smokin:

[numbereight]

BON VOYAGE JOSHUA! DONT FORGET TO PASS BY THE FF. RECORD STORES IN THE STATES WHEN YOU SUDDENLY THINK ABOUT DJing AGAIN.

*BLACKMARKET RECORD STORE

*SATELLITE RECORD STORE

I FORGOT THE ADDRESSES BUT IF YOU SEE A BIG RECORD STORE WITH THOSE NAMES, DONT HESITATE TO GO IN.

ALWAYS REMEMBER TO KEEP THE SOUL IN YOUR MUSIC. HAVE A GOOD ONE!
GET A PAIR OF SL 1200'S AND A NUMARK MIXER JUST IN CASE,
YOUR EARS AND HANDS START TO ITCH!!!

MAYBE WHEN YOU COME BACK, SUPERSTAR DJ KA NA! HE HE HE!

[manabs]

Grabe. Wala na akong alam sa mga pinagsasabi ninyo. That's what happens when you don't get to go out anymore like before.

[T@B|@n]

excuse me...magtatanong lang po :)

when did Pravda (in Makati) opens?

bago palang diba? i heard that before, it used to be a resto.

thanx :D

[AltarBoy^_^]

Pravda in reposo seems ok. Owned by the Trillo's so it's definitely a Lasallian atmosphere. Classy bar if I may add. I think they're one or two months old (maybe more). :smokin:

[krookroo]

hi there.. kinda new here..

your messages are so interesting!

i love to hang out also. favorites are venezia and po na na.. although i haven't been to these places lately. (just scared to bump into some people..)

i haven't gone to porch yet but i heard a lot of nice things about it. might check it out soon..this weekend probably.

[Bartman]

my fave places are: classmate, pegasus, la legende, sariling atin and miss universal

[fatima111]

Hey, peeps please share me naman the latest gimik places in Malate. Me and my former officemates will be holding a reunion this friday. Solace suggested me to try Luna. Are there any alternative places, Solace told me that the place is jampacked during Fridays.:)

[AltarBoy^_^]

Bartman,
Langya ka! Suki ka sa mga club na yan ano? Try mo Takuza 2000! :evil: :evil_lol:

fatima111,
Malate lang ba ang venue niyo? Hmmm, there are lot's of bars in Nakpil and the other streets there that you might wanna try. Try to roam around and scout the places before the reunion itself. Is it a dinner/cocktail style reunion? Or do you wanna dance the night away? And what kind of music? Live bands? Please specify what your friends like. :smokin:

Majority of them will be coming from Manila area (including myself) so we decided to have our reunion in Malate, besides it would be time consuming to have it held in Mkti. due to heavy traffic espacially fridays.

Well, our ages range from late 20's to mid 30's though we dont mind spending our reunion in yuppy's place. Its been more than 7 years since we last saw each other (sabik sa chicka) so i think loud music wont be appropriate for the occassion. We simply want a place to dine, drink, chat and enjoy the music (not so loud). :)

Hmmm....malate would really be my choice. Since the scene has shifted to a few places in Makati and North in Libis, Q.C., malate would indeed suit your group's demand for a bigger venue, ambience and music that's not so loud in the first place. Try going there and scout the places early para makita mo for yourself kung ok sa group niyo. I'll ask other people since I'm a Makati barfly. :smokin:

But do try Basement in Makati Ave. :smokin:

[Chesca84]

Two words: WASABI BISTRO
who's tried it? This place can empty your pocket in the span of a meal ( well worth every cent ) but it's also a nice diversion from the usual hang outs. I can't believe it's me saying this but i'm getting tired of the usual hot spots. Any new bar/club/resto you guys might suggest?

[AltarBoy^_^]

Also try BLUE ONION in Libis. It's not along the main road but it's near a hotel. The place where Blue Onion can be seen looks like St. Francis Square and Alabang Town Center rolled into one and yuppies would definitely love that place. :up: :smokin:

Chesca,
Where's Wasabi? I always hear that place among friends but I can't seem to find the right time to look for it.

"If I had another chance tonight....." :walkman2:

[Chesca84]

Altar Boy^_^
WASABI BISTRO & SAKE BAR is located along Makati Ave., @ at the Olympia Bldg., cor. Santo Tomas St., Makati
it's a two thumbs up! You ought to at least like Japanese cuisine though, if not love it .. like me :) Do take the time to check it out. Bring a date along, i guarantee her to fawn over! I, on the other hand, shall head to that Blue Onion place you mentioned over the weekend and see what i can make out of the night :)

[AltarBoy^_^]

Ok thanks!

Hope you don't get stuck in traffic. Coz MYX and Groovenation have a Consortium thingie in Culture Club in Libis too! Have a great evening and don't drink and drive. Just smoke and fly. :hiphop: :smoker:

Just kiddin!:D

[Chesca84]

How was everybody's weekend? Despite the rain i grabbed my friends and went for WASABI, the place just keeps luring me in, i have no hold against sushi and male models in one place!! After that we were supposed to do the rounds, check out the crowd at bars and clubs but ended up getting drunk at a friend's place. We were so drunk we went pool-hopping. I couldn't help it!! I eyed the olympic pool next door and just had temporary brain-imbalance. The neighbors were out, of course. Imagine seven miniskirt-clad girls climbing walls in their heels, make a rush to the pool and get even more drunk while smoking ... well.. smokin'!! We were trashed. We even got stuck behind, couldn't climb the wall back anymore.. hahaha. We had to call for help from other ( sober ) friends, who brought a ladder. Boy what a Saturday night!! :D

[nineball]

I am a guy who frequent QC and Libis. I just want to know where is Ponticello?? I heard that it is a great place. How about their prices?

[tr|n|ty]

nineball-it's in makati, along Valera it's in Antel 2000 on the 2nd floor.

The place is good.. just don't ever try the caesar's salad w/ teriyaki!!

Have you gone to pravda? That's the only bar I think that charges P100 for a san mig lite!!

The prices are realtively expensive, but the food is worth every penny. My only problem with the place is the poor ventilation, it really gets into your eyes.

There's this new place in libis, it's called Bargo.. check it out. it's kinda like cactus but better.

[tr|n|ty]

has anybody been to culture club?? it's the newest place owned by the Groovenation peeps. is it any good?

[raven23]

Originally posted by tr|n|ty

Beer is *cheap*... P25 on local beers -- dunno how long that'll last, though.

I was there during opening night when they had the turntablish QBert over. That was a quite a party. Haven't been back since, so I can't really say much... Hmmn, maybe I should go there tonight...

[anuck]

I was suppose to go to the opening night of Culture Club last saturday but something came up and was unable to :(

So how do you rate it? Is it better than Ponana? Where in libis is it located anyway??

:bluefish:

[AltarBoy^_^]

A lot of bars have been sprouting in Libis lately. I think Culture Club by Groovenation will pave the way to a new year of partying with newer sounds. Let's just hope that they continue to diversify the tastes in music. :up:

LIGHT UP THE PARTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! :hiphop:.........................:smoker:

[raven23]

Ok, I was there last night (it was a really slow night throughout the Metro).

Surprisingly, the Libis wasn't even that traff*cked up.

Culture Club is located right opposite KFC (beside Krocodile Grill) and Hot Shots burgers. Hot Shots burgers rule!

Unfortunately, Culture Club (at 10:30pm) wasn't even half full. So, I decided to head on out of there.

I think Porch on Bautista St. in Makati is more happening. Sorry.

Wala kasing 'draw', eh. I mean, it's a disco place, which just happens to be in Libis. No good food, no fine wines (unlike places like Pravda, Flute, Shiraz, Wasabi, et al). Ok, maybe their draw is P25 on local beers.

If I wanted just another dance / party place (perhaps not at Libis), I might opt for Warehouse in Q.C. (I forget the actual address, heh heh), or the staple, decades-old, Decades (Tomas Morato, hah? Mas wild dun kaysa Amorsolo.)

Oh, and BTW, talked to Toti Dalmacion of Groove Nation / Consortium and he says they only held Consortium there during opening night as a venue. So, I guess it's actually a misconception (I'm guilty of this as well) that they own the place.

Can anybody else confirm / deny?

[AltarBoy^_^]

Nagsisimula pa lang Culture Club so don't count it out muna. They're just gaining momentum and I think they'll be the next best happenin place kung medyo aware maraming tao sa iba't-ibang tugtog o ambiance ng isang bar o club. :D

Remember Siete Pecados in Westin Hotel? It's now called Club Seven. Maybe you guys should check the scene there. They play house/techno music every friday and r&b/hip-hop every saturday night. :smokin:

[AltarBoy^_^]

I propose an EB to all partyphiles and barhoppers in the Pex Anniv. Hopefully, after the livebands, the anniversary will be playing dance tunes (house music, techno and hardhouse) to diehard clubbers in Pex. :smokin:

So before you hop to your favorite bars or clubs, try to stay longer and enjoy the music. :walkman2:

[luwa_ng_bulkan]

Culture Club, PoNaNa (all in Libis) and Dish (Power Plant)

[raven23]

Was there last night and it was almost surreal, seeing the usually laid back Toti D. actually *dancing*. :D

Anyway, it was a fairly happening party, very young crowd though (Ooohhh... such luscious 16-year olds -- and the other Toti tells me there are loopholes on statutory rape. ;))

Yeah. I'm thinking I'll probably be back there next Saturday night. :cool:

[numbereight]

was there in culture club too! hayop! gud gud vibe! cyril & toti were dancing, i was quite buzzed but really hapi to c erwin play the nite away! it was pure madness for me when he dropped ian pooley's mix of chaser's tall stories!!! flashback to abg's days! he he he! great maiden voyage for groovenation's "playhouse" :)

[AltarBoy^_^]

Sana pala eh pumunta ako Club Culture after ng Pex Anniv. :D

[popscenester]

Finally got to check out the Groove Nation residency at Culture Club and it was rad! i was actually waiting for Toti to spin but it was not he who was set to play the tunes that night but Cocoy Puyat-- whos sound i think definitely improved and became wicked! it was brilliant... the crowd was tolerable.. none of the usual raver kids instead the younger set came to party.. just for pure fun!

[AltarBoy^_^]

popscenester,
When does Toti D. or Cocoy Puyat play? I would like to visit them soon! I miss the sounds of ABG'S!!! :D :smokin:

[popscenester]

i think they have residency there saturdays till the end of october. and toti and cyril said they will be doing the 2 X 4 decks again come next saturday (october 13) that should be rad!

[putchi]

Check out Wherelse? every Wednesday for R&B Nights w/ DJ Kimosave and Emcee Dash, Friday Nights for "ÖASIS" Chill out nights like you've never seen before, "RUSH" W/ the best House music in the scene w/ guest DJs every week and high tech sights for your eyes to see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

where's the best place to just hang-out and have good conversation with friends? where the music's not so loud and the crowd is ok (as in hindi mashado papansin). Most nights that I get together with friends we just like to talk and eat :glee:

yikes. haven't been to Culture Club and Ponana... wala akong ma-invite kasi my barkadas are not into techno/club music eh. ako lang ang matatangi sa group who loves to dance the night away with that kind of music... :) sana pag may PEx get together, punta naman tayo sa kahit saan doon. nadadaanan ko lang sha palagi... :)
sa Cebu ako nakakapunta sa mga clubs and bars... like H2O and The Abbey... :)

[AltarBoy^_^]

Club Sound Experience looks good. It's just a few houses away from Porch in Bautista too. They boast of live bands too! :smokin:

Kamusta na ang scene mga pipol? Is Club Culture the place to be these days? :D

[mS_pHaTbOoTy]

Culture club plays hiphop/rnb o thursdays...i heard but im not sure...i've only been there once, during th eopenning...and i went for one reason alone-to see QBERT live...and ohmygod, it was well worth the trip and the entrance fee i had to pay.

Where Else is still the bizzomb for me...minus the "grooviest dancer of the night" contest, i really hate that...but aside from that, the place is hyped on wednesdays...so i suggest u go there if u love hiphop and rnb......in fact...i just got home from there...hehe

karou_himura...try a place like cork in rockwell...its hardly ever full, its comfrotable and theres music but not too loud...my friend and i usually go there if we just wanna kick it....

After attending the anniversary of a website in Eastwood. I noticed lots of good bars that needed quality music.

Blue Onion was a big disappointment. They play mainstream and nothing else. It's Profit over Quality. :down:

Culture Club last saturday was another disappointment as I saw a few partyphiles in the dancefloor. DJ Patch would be playing there next week and I'm hoping the best for him! :up:

We were at Culture Club last Saturday, too. I had to admit, it was surprising considering for the past 3 or so Saturdays I'd been there it was quite packed.

Well, on the other hand, last Saturday the GrooveNation guys were kalat -- some of them were in Mazo(? the one below PoNaNa), some in Malate, the others, out of town.

The other funny thing that happened was that Culture Club started playing hiphop / R&B on Saturday night. Probably because the few people (less than 30, I think?) who were there weren't even dancing anymore. =\

Oh, well. Wherehouse and Decades uli.

[AltarBoy^_^]

Raven23,
Why don't you meet me next saturday on DJ Patch's gig! Medyo dami ko lang napapansin na pinagbago sa mga bars and clubs diyan sa Libis eh. Matibay pa rin ang Pier 1 and the other places like Po Na Na.

Where is WhereHouse? :D

Where is WhereHouse? :D Got it. Except, 1) next Saturday is the PeX Halloween & costume party which I may or may not go to.

2) Groove Nation plays at Mazzo this Saturday, October 27. Mario, Cyril, Toti D., & Edge are gonna be playing.

Wherehouse is on this side street off Timog.

Oh! I definitely need to go out some more. Porch kasi concentration ko eh. :teehee:

I'll be passing by the costume party sa sat. I suggest we talk about it there na lang. :smokin:

Mezzo? And where is that? I really need to go out and explore more places. :grrr:

[raven23]

Ei, AltarBoy, where were you last night?

Man, Libis was pretty quiet last night, except for Pier 1. At Culture Club no one was dancing. Well, even at Mazzo, wala ring sumasayaw -- sayang yung tugtog ni Toti D. But it is new. Anyway...

[AltarBoy^_^]

Raven23,
I was there but my pal numbereight had to end his set by 2am because he was feverish and needed some rest. And most of the people inside were clamoring for you know what, Hiphop, the new flavor after Hardhouse and Trance.

Hmm, Mazzo looks interesting. I'll try to check it out in my free time. Thanks for the info! :smokin:

I think I'll keep my 3210 pa rin and pass it off as a 6210 when I get there. :evil: :evil_lol:

Culture Club goes R&B na rin?! We're seeing a new trend in music ladies and gentlemen. :smokin:

Not everyone is against hiphop and r&b. It just so happens that they are the kind of music that most of the people here love right now. Fact is, other forms of dance music had to take a backseat. Same case as it was before when trance hit Manila and Hard House. Too bad a lot of people are so fickle-minded about the scene too. But as they say, you can't please them all. :smokin:

its abt time though donchathink! and hopefully after people get sick of all the mainstream stuff, they'll realize there is more to rap than nelly and dmx and ja rule ( i hate all these rappers btw!)...and start listenin to some real hiphop with substance!

It's the same case back then when Trance artist Alice Deejay's "Better Off Alone" hit the dance clubs and bars. Mainstream music will always be mainstream. You can't make them listen to the rest of what hiphop has to offer but we can always try. That's the reason why DJs play. And I'm hoping that a lot more people would want to open their minds to other forms of music too. :smokin:

Medyo hindi ko nagustuhan crowd dun dahil mainstream din ang hilig nila palagi dun eh! but I have good idea why you go there. ;)

FLOOR SHOW!!! :evil: :evilgrin: :beg:

[im_the_one]

i tried COAST 101 once... its kinda cool too, medyo crowded lang masyado unplace and its really stuffy sa dance floor.:)

[m0n1c4]

if youre into gigs...like watching the local rock scene, all the moshing gigs nasa north. if youre not the moshing type and would rather go soak in the suds while poppin some E or just have a blast while sweating ur stuff dancing the night away...i suggest MAKATI. personally, i think makati has everything na :)

Why can't people get into Ponana? Anyway, how is Porch? I pass by it all the time, but dont go in, I think maybe because its Orangey. :p I don't know. The color just disturbs me. :lol:

Oi, Raffy. Tambay ako minsan sa Porch hah? Saturdays ba?

Dude! Pumunta ka this thursday, friday and saturday! Medyo magulo sched ko sa pagtugtog! Ipahanap mo na lang ako sa bartender! Tumambay ka palagi dun at magsawa ka! ;)

Idiosyncratic - Try to drop by and nevermind the color of the place. Disturbing ba sobra? Try to wear orange shades! :lol:

And if you want to go into Ponana, you should be at least 21 years old (I think) because the crowd there is composed of yuppies to middle-aged partyphiles. :smokin:

[ris]

I've been to Porch lang once even if I know the owner. (He's also here in CA now.) Its too crowded kasi and puro bata. Is the drink Boy Bastos good ba?

[foxxxy]

just came from the opening of Basement in Makati ave
cool place! I think they re-opened and its bigger now
it has 4 floors andthey play acoustic songs.. nice band!
there were too many people and even media was there
ABS-CBN and GMA I think. They got us on tape hehe
watch out for that one hehe. My friend's brother is some
sort of one of the owners including Jay Server. Really nice
place to hang-out.
You guys should check it out!

Say hi to doj for me! :wave: Boy Bastos can really bring out the "kabastusan" in you! :evil: :evil_lol:
And of course, the younger party people are there because of the hiphop flavor still going around the scene.


foxxxy - Hey! I was there last night up until 3am! I was listening to Session Road and Labuyo play acoustics! Rivermaya was even there! Groovenation people were outside spinning naman!:up: Two-thumbs up for the owners! :up::up:Nasaan ka dun?! Dapat pala nagkita tayo dun! :D

Hay nako ang pangit ng service sa Dish! Puro pa sosi lang di naman worth it ang food. Maganda sa Culture Club kaya lang sobrang HipHop ang mga tao dun. But the service is wonderful. I guess nothing will beat Hard Rock Cafe kahit minsan madaming mga prosti dun w/ foreigners it's still a great place to dance and listen to live music.
