Let me be clear. This is not a dance club. It's really not even a bar in the sense that you can socialize and drink as a single tourist. The only dancers are the ones on stage. And "dancer" is used very loosely for a lot of them. The beefcake is ok to look at. But with all the muscles, it's really awkward to just watch them move to the beat. It hurts to watch. And when they take off their shirts, all you hear are the screams of little girls in the audience like it's a Chippendales club for straight women If you want to go for just a few drinks, don't expect to be able to stand anywhere to watch the entertainment or cruise for your fling that night. The tables are reserved for bottle service, which you have to book in advance. There is a cover charge equivalent to US $20 - this includes 2 drinks. Ok great. But the question has always been, where do you stand if you're just a visitor and you don't know about the table reservations?? Any little bit of extra space they might have is dedicated to the myriad servers they employ. It's not like you can stand casually at a bar the way you can at other bars/clubs So it's really for cliques of friends to occupy the tables that surround the stage, and definitely not a place to go to meet anyone new. That is fine if that's what you want Without a table reservation, you really feel like an outsider, and they say you can stand and drink your drink at a table, but you need to leave as soon as the people who reserved the table arrive It's basically dinner theater Don't get me wrong - the drag queens are good. If they weren't, they wouldn't have a RuPaul's Drag Race Philippines franchise Personally, I won't go back This place doesn't provide a good enough balance of worthwhile performances with talking to cute Filipino boys or travelers like us It's just sad that it's only one of maybe two gay establishments total in Manila read more

Me and my friends were back in The Metro and we're ready for some nightlife. My friend's Jowa suggested catching a drag show which I've seen at another night club several years ago. Manila is home to a super colorful LGBTQ+ community ranging from flamboyant outfits, conservative folks, and all in between. We were ready for performances and entertainment to blow us away. O'Bar in Ortigas Center has been around for several years now, it's been one of the more popular shows around. I've seen YouTube videos of Drag Race Philippines but haven't followed religiously like RuPaul's Drag Race, but when I see these ladies perform on stage, I know I'll recognize them. We planned on coming on a Sunday with a group of 5 of us, what we all agreed was purchase a bottle of alcohol and get a lounge VIP table. The club requires each person a cover fee which included 3 drink tickets. But with the price of a bottle, table rates are fully consumable which we planned on being out for a while. What surprised us the most was not only there was one round of production, after the GoGo dancers were complete with their number, another drag show came out in a whole new repertoire! read more

Obar has the best sound and lighting of any place ive been to in Philippines. Great artists, great everything, the only negative is like many night club places they cheat on the liquor pour. I ordered a double shot and it was about 50 percent water. And it was 250₱. Great place, great atmosphere. Poor value in liquor. Will i return yeah, but if i did not even get a headbuzz after the night, 3 hours and 2 dinks and a shot, something is wrong. read more

For me, coming here is always like stepping into a parallel universe, it's like entering Priscilla Queen Of The Dessert or Queer As Folk or Looking or any other foreign LGBT-themed movie or show whose world only happened on the other side of the screen. After all these years, I still feel awkward in the place, like a chick tentatively coming out of freshly hatched shell. But its a kind of awkward that usually incites nervousness mixed with giddiness mixed with excitement mixed with I_dunno_what_the_fuck_I'm_doing_here_ but_whatever_it_is_I_like_it. But the shows. Oh god the shows! No other bar quenches my thirst for fabulous theatrics which I enjoy in varying degrees of inebriation. And I don't really have a taste for the Kylie / Madonna / Robyn playlist (I lean towards indie and alternative rock) but when the deejay starts spinning, my feet just starts shuffling along with it. For me, the best day to go here is on Fridays because there is fairly less people which means more room to spin around. But whenever I go, the place only serves to confirm one thing to me: to be gay is to be happy and to be happy is to be gay. read more

Had fun and I would recommend this place. Performers are great esp the drag queens. Loved their performance. read more

O-Bar is perhaps the last of its kind in the pink-party scene. Previous bigshots such as Government, and Bed all folded after several years. With no competition, O-Bar may have thought that they can get away by charging a bit extra for the experience. Don't get me wrong, O-Bar is truly a gay man's heaven. Plenty of young gay guys to oggle, lots of lean and beefy go-go boys, and top notch Drag Performers are just some of O-Bar's claim to ultimate gay party. Unfortunately, the price you pay for the experience is steep! Door fee is between php400-500 inclusive of 3 free drinks, not bad, you'd say. What's bad is that in order for you to have something to put your drink down, you'd have to pay for the table! Yes, that's right, you actually have to pay for either your half, or the entire table, how much, you ask? Php3000.00, that's how much! You'll know you're being ripped off when you pay for the entrance and then pay for the table too. It's consumable though but still, if there's just you, or your partner, you'd both have to shell out php750.00 each for half the table or php1500.00 each for the entire table. Talk about expensive with a capital E! Also, the place can get packed, like through the roof. You barely have enough space to sway your hips. Of course, if money is not an issue by all means go, I guarantee you'd like it there. read more

I know I'm pretty much going to hell because I took my girlfriends out to their first gay club experience the night before we were all expected to go on a college-required rosary retreat. This was back in college when O-Bar still had its branch in Malate. We all had a couple drinks and ended up dominating the dance floor. We made it to the retreat, but not without the most of us hurling chunks during the bus ride to Tagaytay. We powered through the first day of the retreat with really nasty hangovers. That goes to show how much fun one can have in O-Bar, where everyone is welcome and can expect to have as much fun as if it is a "normal" bar. When I say normal, I mean other clubs that don't have really star-studded drag shows and well-oiled male go-go dancers working it on the ledge. This is clean, wholesome and fun entertainment if you and your girls just want to avoid getting picked up, groped or accosted at the normal bars. The music is always campy, fun and loaded with a lot of Chers and Madonnas. Their Home Depot branch is much larger,and the cover charge is reasonable. It also comes with three drinks, which you can enjoy with the fun and fabulous crowd. There is also enough parking. Good times! read more

Young gay crowd , 3 beers included, new renovated place, nice sound, no dancefloor. Expensive tables prices a rip off at p3000 not worth it, just stand close to the bar.. Poor choreography , trying hard broadway lip synch performance...School Glee clubs have better presentation for free read more

O Bar - Dance Clubs Near Me - Pasig, NCR

Gay men really, really know how to party. For the uninitiated, if you want to challenge that statement, indulge me and accept my invitation to spend a night at a place where it all happens. Dubbed as the gay man's Valkyrie,which is currently the hottest and biggest club in the metro, O Bar has been fondly called the Beckyrie within the LGBT circle. It is the biggest and arguably the most popular gay club in the Manila today and for good reasons. It has all the ingredients gay men, fag hags and fag stags look for in a gay-oriented dance club - -beats, booze, boys, and the barbarella fierceness and fabulousness of drag queens. A P400 entrance fee gets you in with 3 drinks stubs you can use to get your libation of choice. If you're lucky to be included in the VIP list, you get in for free but drinks will be on you. It's not a bad deal given you'll be in for an extravaganza that's both visually mesmerizing and emotionally stimulating. The drag show is sure to make you feel campy and giddy as you channel your own inner diva while lipsyncing along with iconic gay figures incredibly interpreted by the talented roster of drag performers on stage. The zip dancers will surely be a visual feast as they command your attention with the spinning technicolor pois combined with their carefully rehearsed dance moves. The go-go boys, in boxer-briefs so tight and simpy it leaves little to the imagination, will have you staring with mouths wide open accompanied by a stirring yearning in your loins. Add a crowd that's always amped up and ready to party, you'll be having so much fun you're bound to leave only when the sun's already up. Now if you catch someone's eye and decide to leave just before the party officially ends, no one will take it against you. The one who probably will is going to be that person you leave with wink, wink. If you think life's a drag, you sure haven't been to O Bar. read more

When you party with a Russian, you expect to drink, let go, and just have the most fun you can manage. This is exactly what I did for a friend's birthday party and I have to say that I haven't gone out and had a blast in a while. Not that I'm at all a recluse but lets just say, working in bars, promoting events, and running a club in my early to mid 20s has taken its toll and after a while, you tend to see the same faces, music, booze and music at just different venues...plus you more often than not end up with the same hangover. However, I tend to make exceptions especially when I haven't experienced it yet. O Bar was an exception. I've heard of it from several of my friends who always light up when they talk about it. I have friends from all walks of life and have always been open to new experiences so I knew nothing really surprises me in the gay or straight domains. Now, when my Russian friend celebrated her birthday here in Manila, there was only one place on her mind and it was O Bar. Hidden just behind the Home Depot of Ortigas, this palace of pizzazz is everything you would expect from a hetero-friendly, gay-infused cabaret scene. Drinks aren't ridiculously priced and the sound system is quite decent. The ambiance is wild, loud, fun, creative, and beautiful with pictures of drag queens, macho and sexy dancers on platforms, elevated couch areas with a view of the crowd, and a center stage where beautiful performers reign supreme! It was definitely an experience as far as my Vodka Cranberry and Patron XO-infused mind could fathom to remember. At 1:30 you are treated to intermitted live shows from true blue QUEENS who own the stage and the club is their kingdom. They frolic on stage and swim through the crowd with every sashay never missing a beat of the well-curated diva music. If you're looking for something different from the saturated clubs and bars of Manila, and you don't mind getting yourself into a bit of outrageous fun, then queue up and squeeze yourself into O! read more

You might want to leave your boyfriends and boy friends at home if you're headed to O Bar. This was the only bar I stepped into wherein all the males bypassed me and went straight to flirting with my male companions. Yes, O Bar is a gay bar, and definitely one of the best party experiences a girl could have! Where else would you find a bar that parties to Disney music? Or that'll have the entire crowd singing along to a full, fabulous performance of "I Will Survive"? If you go to O Bar on one of their big nights, you'll be treated to live performances by some of the best and most creative entertainers - in full drag! Although there are some macho dancers on ledges and cages in the club, the O Bar Ortigas Branch is generally heterosexual-friendly. (I've heard the Malate branch can get pretty rowdy.) Definitely an experience you won't forget - let the true party animals of Manila show you how it's done at O Bar! :D read more

Possibly, the only bar I've been to where I felt the safest and no guys had the slightest intention! I was literally bypassed, ignored, at best greeted with a very friendly gesture. I felt like a minority in a swarm of pretty boys. Yes, it is what you think it is. This is one of the more popular gay bars in the metro and the only one I've been to and when I got there, it was definitely not how I expected it to be! I actually had such a great time! It is not your typical bar, because it has a stage up front with impressive drag performances. They were imitating popular pop stars and lip-syncing to their most popular songs. They even dressed the part! I was entertained for the most part and after the performances, they had the DJ on-deck playing the usual EDM club music and half-naked guys with toned bodies would pop out on the different elevated corners of the bar dancing along with the music. This was definitely a different experience, at least for me! read more
