1.Makati Nightlife: VIP Access to Clubs, Rooftops & Go-Go Bars

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 278 reviews · 4.5 hours · from $24Our pick

Join an English or Tagalog guide such as Jiesel, JJ, or Jeric for a social Makati night out. Start at I’M Hotel or join later at The Fun Roof, then visit street food spots, Bourbon Bar, Octopus, Royal, and Neon Nights with VIP entry and a welcome shot.

“JJ was an amazing guide and showed all the spots. He took great photos and even went off the beaten path to help me try Balut and get some grub from a local market! Highly recommend him. As for the guide, it would be nice if the tickets included some drinks, such as a welcome drink or free shot. Some of the reviews mentioned that but when I went it was all self pay. Overall a great way to experience Makati nightlife, whether solo or in a group - would recommend!”

“This was a great pub crawl especially if you want to be around a younger crowd. The only thing was that we stayed at Monkey bar from 9 until 11 and they let people sing slow boring karaoke which brought the mood down when your trying to get started. I wanted to leave. There really should only be good vibe music until we leave and then let people sing after 11. But I'm happy I didn't leave because the next places had great music.”
