Thanks for all the details, I’m glad you included the maps AND your videos are getting better and better, keep it up Bro. Hopefully to see you at one of these clubs soon with my girls. ✈️
Mannnn, this is what im talking about! SOOOOO much valuable information in this one video. Despite my 6 trips there, even I learned some stuff from this lol. This almost needed to be made into three different videos to decipher all the info between the Clubs/Bars/Go Go Bars. Great stuff brother!!
Good videos as always E. Will get back over there at Xmas and hopefully run into you where i saw you last time. Name escapes me but the place open till 9am ish
Thanks for letting me know. I was hoping it would come across as helpful and informative. I'm trying g to convey how walkable and diverse the poblacion bel-air area is.
I watched this when it first dropped I was in the first views and I have returned to drop this comment. You should do accommodations within this 10 block radius that covers all budgets 🔥
Welcome back, and thanks for the comment. That's a great idea, I've made a video on budget accommodations in this 10 block radius ➭ ruclips.net/video/Rlz0oYlmlzY/видео.html and one or two on some of the higher end accommodations ➭ ruclips.net/video/5wM7y0l86sU/видео.html And furthermore you reminded me to include some of the pricing information for dining (and drinking) in the different restaurants.
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video. I wanted to convey why it's such a great bar hopping stroll, and not just a red-light strip. I have not heard the Rogan comparison, but maybe that's a good sign of things to come. Recently I've been getting Randy Savage of all people.
@@lancemanyon4235 valid question. But no, I've been here 12 years and never heard of it happening. It's different if you are a girl in a club, some guys are predators. But also, that's why I do nightlife tours... Epic nights with my crew, and never any worries. We make sure you get home safe no matter how much you drink.
Roger that, so that's how the nite life spots are set up and located. Good idea elaborating on the map, looks like the Vegas strip minus the casinos. Lol, is that Taylor Swift at club Royal?
I would think it's immediate access. But honestly I don't know. No one has ever asked me that, or mentioned an issue with watching members only videos.
In poblacion. I would go to R.I.CH. (royal Indian curry house) Al Tarboosh, Hummus Elijah or Khao khai Thai chicken house for dinner. Then buccaneers, Dr. Wine makati (or lips) for drinks. But lips is kind of like a go-go bar. So no regular girls there.
Thanks for watching, and posing the question. however, I don't really give advice like this anymore in a public forum. although I will directly for channel members, or as part of a consultation.
A number of my Bro's, Channel members (and me) have experienced a hardcore, hard-press, duplicitous hard-sell there. And for me in Manila with the amount of business I bring in, it's one strike and you're out.
@@itsManilaBaybee heard brother! I'll be in Manila later this year and watching your videos has been helpful in planning my visit. Keep up the awesome content!
P Burgos St has definitely seen it’s better days. On my last visit back in April the place was swarming with so many ladyboy’s. However back many years ago the place was definitely a spot to see in MNL. All those beautiful young ladies from the provinces. Thanks for sharing my brother you always keep your videos interesting. I enjoy watching your videos. ✌🏾
Thanks for watching and sharing your perspective. It has changed a lot. The strip itself may not be what it once was, but the area is much better. You can actually take a date to Poblacion and have a decent night out now.
No memberships, but there are like loyalty club cards for Octopus and Royal. Includes Perks like no cover charge. I'll explain why in another video, but it's not because they allow smoking.

@@PizzaLord They are closed, it went downhill long before the closure. It's a shame, it used to be a fun dance club. Something new will open there soon. It's a great location with a big dance floor.
Depends on the club/bar. Almost everyone here is Insta-programmed, so everyone is always shooting stories/reels. If the establishment has "working girls," there is usually no photography/video permitted. But I do get asked not to include or to blur out faces fairly often. The problem here is that people don't understand the concept of "public domain."
I always value comments and feedback on the video, so thank you for that. However, after I reviewed the video, I can only surmise you may be attempting sarcasm to communicate you think the text is too small? What device are you watching the video on? Perhaps larger titling could be beneficial for some viewing platforms.
Wouaaa! Masterpiece! I’ve seen a lot of guide on yt, but its the first one I see side by side screen with street view and videos…..so much better. I can figure out the map in my head now…..it will be a jam packed trip this November….!
@@Welcometothejungle2024 Kind of a long story, I'm making a video to explain it. But the short version is that they push a really aggressive hard-sell now for the bar-girls. Very deceptive, and totally uncool vibe. It's a shame.
@@Welcometothejungle2024 I'm glad to hear that. I'm always trying to convey how poblacion is all bar-hop walking distance, I was thinking the map and pinpoints might be hard to follow, but apparently not. Thanks for the feedback!
Burgos sucks now, I lived at Trump tower in 2019, bar fines are stupid expensive and girls aren’t that hot like before. Lips used to be Kojax, Pattaya 100 times better
I suppose if you rate Burgos and Poblacion in terms of bar girls and bar fines, it may not be as good as Thailand. But we don't bar fine girls, we go for nightlife. Boutique cafes, hole on the wall restaurants, and party bars, and it's always a good time.
how much are bar fines. I was in bottoms the other day and asked but they refused to tell me unless I bought the girl I was interested in a drink first so I just left.
@@PizzaLordI had same experience, Bottoms used to be great before they moved across the street. Bar fines are now 4500, plus stupid 1150 for 1 drink then 5000 for the girl 😅😅😅😅😅 I’m in Angeles now, bar fines 5000 all included, better off meeting a girl walking around for 3000😅😅😅
@@PizzaLord That seems like a lame policy, obviously not working for them. I don't know.... I'll ask later, I'm doing a go-go tour. But it varies, I hear between P3.5K to P4.5K
@@GermanHodl Mabini is a street in the Ermita district. It's more of a KTV/JTV, or freelancer vibe. I rarely go there. But maybe I should feature it someday.

Neon Nights & Fyre are CLOSED - They were busted for having underage employees. And sadly, the Happy hot pot is no longer with us as well.
This is just what I needed to see before my trip next month. Been watching your videos for a while now. Thanks 🙏🏻
I'm happy to hear you have been watching the videos and that you found this one to be helpful for the upcoming visit. It's all totally walkable.
me too so awesome content

This is the best video detailing a nightlife scene. This is incredible information. Thank you

Oscar Mike in the big city, providing us all the essential intel!
I'm so pleased that I liked, subscribed, and rang that bell.
Carry on mister!

Nice video my idol...
Always watching
Btw, i have been DJing in some of the bars there hehe...
I'm happy to hear you are always watching. The DJ thing must be fun! Let me know where you post a schedule.
Great video as always mate. Missing it terribly
Thanks man. Glad to hear you think so. Especially because I know you have rolled this whole map a few times over that last year.
Great video Eric 👍
I need to get back to the Gramercy, so I can walk on over to P Burgos, and crawl on back! 🍺
Indeed - Or Knightsbridge, which I prefer over Gramercy.
Good videos as always E. Will get back over there at Xmas and hopefully run into you where i saw you last time. Name escapes me but the place open till 9am ish
Thank you!, I'm glad to hear you think so. The 9am spot was probably Secret Door AKA Hell 😉
@@itsManilaBaybee yes secret door that was it!!
Great informative video! 🙌

Thanks for letting me know. I was hoping the map would convey how close and walkable the area is for bar hopping and dining.

Great comprehensive video of P. Burgos. Also, you remind me of Joe Rogan. Do you get that a lot?

What is this area like during the day?
It's fine, pretty tame, not much going on before noon. Mostly it's the restaurants that are open. And Century city mall a few blocks down.

whats a good hotel near this area 4 star or similar, i was looking at sheraton in malate but thats a bit far? what do you recommend
I think the I'M Hotel is rated 4 stars,. It's on Makati ave walking distance from both clubs.
Roger that, so that's how the nite life spots are set up and located. Good idea elaborating on the map, looks like the Vegas strip minus the casinos.
Lol, is that Taylor Swift at club Royal?
It is kind of like the strip. All walkable. And maybe?? I would think Taylor is too w0ke for Manila.
Very comprehensive. Well done sir.
Thank you, glad to hear you think so. I've been wanting to convey how walkable and diverse the neighborhood is there.
@@itsManilaBaybee I love that you mentioned Yugi, your old favorite spot
I still like Yugi, I just can't do the carbs. It's either booze, or carbs and you know which way I'm going to roll.
I am staying in Makati now. How much money you drop on a standing and a sitting table at places like octopus ?
The table prices are outlined in this video➡️ruclips.net/video/2JXtYyha0Zo/видео.html
And this one➡️ ruclips.net/video/TMqoX2swieo/видео.html
But some nights - No cover, no table cost if it's early in the week, or not busy.
Hi, you mentioned you no longer recommend Neon Knights. I heard they did a remodel and haven’t been there recently. What happened to them?
I don't, not anymore. Maybe it's new management?
OP not getting kick backs lol
That's entirely possible
@@johnjames8103 Who me? the terms of my working visa prohibit that. it wouldn't be worth getting deported for.
Neon Knights does not exist any more. There is a government issued closure notice slapped on the doors. They got shut down and I am not surprised.
How long after joining before I can watch videos Eric?
I would think it's immediate access. But honestly I don't know. No one has ever asked me that, or mentioned an issue with watching members only videos.
the food OMG!! manila is the bomb
I like to go out at least once a week to eat here. Some good, cheap options.
Nice vlog , tanks
You are welcome, thanks for watching
How much it cost at octopus? Table & couch
I break down the table costs, and more in this video➡️ ruclips.net/video/2JXtYyha0Zo/видео.html
Love this guide. What would be your favorite kick off spot for like dinner and then drinks before we hit the clubs for two nights?
In poblacion. I would go to R.I.CH. (royal Indian curry house) Al Tarboosh, Hummus Elijah or Khao khai Thai chicken house for dinner. Then buccaneers, Dr. Wine makati (or lips) for drinks. But lips is kind of like a go-go bar. So no regular girls there.
Unless craft beers are your thing, then dinner and drinks at The Perfect Pint at proscenium at Rockwell (makati)
💯💯💯% totally love Manila🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Me too!

Mate , what is your favourite live music bar ? That you can chill at and actually have a conversation with your mates or Sheila’s or
both
Rue Bourbon on P. Burgos street, or LA Cafe is good, it's just farther away so we don't often go there.
