Complete Guide to Red Light Districts in Manila

Complete Guide to Red Light Districts in Manila



From what I can see in my website statistics is that most of you guys find Philippines Redcat by looking for all different sorts of nightlife and women related search phrases on Google. More
 specifically: Where to meet Filipina girls both during daytime and nighttime and
 where to meet both hookers and “normal” girls who are not primarily out for money. So today I thought it’s a good idea to create an overview guide of the different adult entertainment quarters in the capital.Each of these areas are quite unique in the types of bars and girls they have. It’s not like Bangkok where 90% of all bars in Nana Plaza, Soi Cowboy and Patpong are go go bars. They don’t even call them go go bars over here but bikini bars, and that’s because the girls don’t get naked anymore but wear tight bikinis. Don’t worry though, if you know what you are doing you still get to see some nipples, just continue reading.

So in the following guide I will give you a description of each Manila red light district, the types of bars you will find, how much for the drinks, bar fines and ladies, where they are located on the map as well as a video with all four areas in it so you’ll get a good idea of what they are like before visiting.P Burgos Street is the most tourist friendly and easiest to navigate red light district in Manila. It’s a 200m long street in the modern business district of Makati (although the surrounding area is not really the most developed part of Makati).

If it’s your first time in Manila (or even in the Philippines) then I would definitely recommend you to stay there. That’s because you can find everything you need for a couple of days for a great single vacation: bikini bars, sports bars, western restaurants, massage salons and even plenty of freelancers on the street (both girls and ladyboys) offering “massages” in your hotel room. Plus, the nicest shopping mall in Manila (Greenbelt) is just a 5-10 minute taxi ride away. You can even walk there in 20-30 minutes.

The two best and longest established girly bars on P Burgos Street are Lips and Neon Nights. Lips has the most attractive girls on the strip, but they can be a little sketchy asking for drinks even before sitting down and “getting warm” with you. They wear nice see-through bars showcasing some of the nicest boobs on Burgos. Neon Nights is a bit different, the girls are rather average looking but really naughty – it’s not uncommon that they offer you a blow job in the corner if you pay them a few drinks.
Ermita is the oldest red light district in Manila, but it’s somewhat dying. If you talk to some older expats they will tell you how this area once was the “wild west” of Manila in the 1980s, but now due to the efforts of the authorities to “clean up” the area there are no bikini bars with girls dancing on the stage anymore.

There are still about a dozen of girly bars and sports bars in Ermita, and 90% of them are conveniently located on Del Pilar Street (see the map at the end of the guide). If you are wondering what’s the difference between a girly bar and a sports bar: The girly bars have girls employed for the purpose of entertaining the male guests. They will ask you for lady drinks that cost more than your own drink and if you want to take them out of the bar you will need to pay the bar fine. Sports bars are usually all about meeting other foreigners and playing pool billiards, there are also nice Filipina waitresses around but they cannot be taken out of the bar (need to wait until the bar closes).

The two best bars in Ermita red light district are LA Café and Dusk Till Dawn Bar. LA Café is really a legendary place, it’s a bar over two floors with pool tables, live band and even a restaurant, and there are easily more than 100 freelancers on any day of the week. You can even come here at like 3pm on a Wednesday afternoon and will find several dozen of ladies hanging out while looking for customers. Dusk Till Dawn Bar is 70m up the road and even though the setup is nicer and more relaxed, the girls are employed by the bar and make you pay for lady drinks first before “entertaining” you.Right next to Ermita (see above) is the next redlight area of Manila: Malate. Here you will find mostly KTVs and karaoke bars that are popular among Asians, as well as the highest concentration of happy ending massage salons in town.

A good place to start your exploration of this area is Robinson Manila. It’s one of the nicest shopping malls in town and even there you can find some freelancers standing right outside the main entrance (as well as on the corner of the Arab restaurant) who are eagerly smiling at every foreigner they see, obviously more than ready to join you to your hotel for sex if you want.

I usually stay in Malate when going to Manila, or to be more precise: at the Hotel Ava. It’s an infamous short time drive-in hotel, but it’s also great to stay for several nights due to its location and comfort. It’s located right at the southern end of Malate, so you can just walk up to Robinson and Ermita and pass countless of KTVs like the ones in the pictures.

Just be extra careful here as it’s not really the safest area of town, at least it doesn’t feel so when people are constantly staring at you, want to sell something and don’t accept the first two “No, thank you”s you tell them and the street hookers eagerly offering their services to you.While P Burgos Street is somewhat comparable to Soi Cowboy in Bangkok (one street), Ermita has some similarities to Patpong (oldest red light district but dying), the EDSA Entertainment Complex is the Filipino answer to Nana Plaza: One big building with 7 different go go bars (or “bikini bars” how they call them here).

It’s located in Pasay and there is nothing else of tourist interest around EDSA. Not even some western restaurants or other bars. So don’t stay there, it’s enough if you take a taxi from Makati or Malate and you can check out all the hundred or so ladies in a couple of nights.

The quality of the girls in the EDSA bars used to be much better, but there are still some gems to be found especially in Cotton Bar and Pitstop which are by far the most popular places with the hottest and youngest girls. They all have the same owner and if you want to avoid to pay the bar fine (see below) you could ask them for their number and invite them to your hotel after they finished work at around 3am

The Trojan Women (Ancient Greek: Τρῳάδες, romanized: Trōiades)

Image
The Trojan Women (Ancient Greek: Τρῳάδες, romanized: Trōiades), also translated as The Women of Troy, and also known by its  transliterated Greek title Troades, is a tragedy by the Greek playwright Euripides. Produced in 415 BC during the Peloponnesian War, it is often considered a commentary on the capture of the Aegean island of Melos and the subsequent slaughter and subjugation of its populace by the Athenians earlier that year (see History of Milos).[1] 415 BC was also the year of the scandalous desecration of the hermai and the launch of the Athenians' second expedition to Sicily, events which may also have influenced the author. The Trojan Women was the third tragedy of a trilogy dealing with the Trojan War. The first tragedy, Alexandros, was about the recognition of the Trojan prince Paris who had been abandoned in infancy by his parents and rediscovered in adulthood. The second tragedy, Palamedes, dealt with Greek mistreatment of their fellow Greek Palamedes. This trilogy w...

The Weirdest Marriage in the World was in the 80's. Started when Swiss Corina Hoffman visited Kenya. Hofmann and her boyfriend Marco made a trip to Kenya. There, she met a Samburu wàrrior named Lketinga Leparmorijo and instantly found him irresistible. She left Marco, went back to Switzerland to sell her possessions, and, in 1987, returned to Kenya, determined to find Lketinga, which she eventually did. The couple moved in together, married, and had a daughter. Hofmann moved into her mother-in-law's manyatta (compound) and learned to live as a Samburu woman, fetching wood and water. She opened a small shop in the village, to sell basic goods. Hofmann suffered several hàrdships, including disèases (mainly malaria) and marital problems. Increasingly paranoid jealousy from her husband, possibly a side effect of his addiĉtion to the d.rug khat (miraa), severely dàmaged her relationship, and in 1990 she decided to return to Switzerland for good, taking her daughter with her. Later o...

Technology of war in 1914

Image
Technology of war in 1914 The planning and conduct of war in 1914 were crucially influenced by the invention of new weapons and the improvement of existing types since the Franco-German War of 1870–71. The chief developments of the intervening period had been the machine gun and the rapid-fire field artillery gun. The modern machine gun,  which had been developed in the 1880s and ’90s, was a reliable belt-fed gun capable of sustained rates of extremely rapid fire; it could fire 600 bullets per minute with a range of more than 1,000 yards (900 metres). In the realm of field artillery, the period leading up to the war saw the introduction of improved breech-loading mechanisms and brakes. Without a brake or recoil mechanism, a gun lurched out of position during firing and had to be re-aimed after each round. The new improvements were epitomized in the French 75-millimetre field gun; it remained motionless during firing, and it was not necessary to readjust the aim in order to bring su...
