Philippines nightlife is famed all around the world. Most people who come to the Philippines inevitably end up on stage at some point. The locals are great fans of performance and make use of the many karaoke joints across the country to showcase their talents and passion for dance and music. Manila and Cebu both have a very vibrant nightlife, and with clubs and bars open around the clock, you'll never be short of a drinking and dancing option.

The nightlife on the vacation islands is slightly tamer in comparison, being mostly beach-bar focused. Beachside sunset cocktails and drinks are favored as opposed to pulsating nightclubs, though a karaoke joint is never far away. From the buzzing Boracay beach clubs to the relaxing Puerto Princesa bars, and all the types of nightlife at hand in the many other vacation destinations, you’ll surely find a venue to your taste to enjoy a memorable night in the Philippines.
