The experience

Makati's nightlife crawl starts at a meeting point and moves through four venues in one night. You'll climb to Antidote, a modern gastropub with 360-degree skyline views, then move to Filling Station Bar & Cafe, a 24-hour diner-bar packed with neon signs and vintage Americana. Bourbon comes next: a live music venue where bands play 70s and 90s rock anthems (Queen, AC/DC, Guns N' Roses) surrounded by nostalgic memorabilia and old payphones.

The crawl's centerpiece is a bar built around a real boxing ring where hourly shows feature midget boxing, lady boxing, oil wrestling and tag-team bouts. After that comes an electric late-night disco with neon lights, go-go dancers, LED performers, billiards and a dance floor. The final stop is a luxury dance club on General Luna with French-inspired interiors, plush VIP couches and a mezzanine overlooking the action. All venue admissions are included. You pay separately for any drinks or food you order.

The guide speaks English or Filipino and keeps the group moving through the night. Public transportation is available nearby if you need to get back to your hotel, and the whole experience runs between three and four hours depending on how long the group stays at each stop.
