The Fort

If you want a taste of where the beautiful people of Manila converge, then head to the Fort at Taguig for all night partying. Remember to dress up! Filipinos are quite stylish, and you do not want to be turned away at the door because you're wearing thongs, shorts and a singlet.

Start with dinner at one of the places at Serendra. Then while at Serendra, head on over to Fez to start the night.

Fez is a quaint little Moroccan/ fusion-style pub, where the munchies are quite delicious and the drinks are great. Unless you want the night to end early, do NOT order the flying tiger shaker. Fez is cozy and quite homey, and you'll definitely be tempted to stay there the whole night. If you're in Manila for a short period, do not give in to the temptation--you'll definitely be missing out!

From Fez, make your way over to Ascend at the nearby Bonifacio High Street, where a party usually happens every night of the week. Three different genres are played at the club's different rooms-- the VIP, the lounge, and the main room. Expect to pay about P600 consumable cover charge to get in. The mojitos are quite nice here!

If you're still not happy with Fez, make your way over to the Fort Strip, where several clubs are there for the exploring. Piedra, particularly on Friday nights, is quite happening. Hip-hop music is the highlight, and you'll definitely find yourself in a tight squeeze as bodies gyrate around you.

Head on over the Embassy Cuisine for a more classy atmosphere, where house or trance music usually plays. It's an upscale bar, but the staff is nonetheless quite friendly.

If you're REALLY up for the party, then head to the Embassy Super Club. It's THE place to be if you want to see and be seen. Like Ascend, expect to pay around P600 cover charge. But trust me, it's worth it!

To curb the midnight munchies, try Embassy Cafeteria (try their tapsilog) or North Park (Chinese food).

The nightlife is usually kicking on Mondays, Wednesdays, and the weekends.
