New to the forum. Going to Manila in a month or two and was wondering about this "new" Karyoke TV lounge. Was wondering if anyone has any experience. Do you negotiate with girls directly there? Far fines etc? What is going rate and are they mainly pre or post op? Only in manila for a couple of days so want to get i right first time. I did see a thread mentioning Mr Woman but didn not have too much mission critical info.
Also there was a mention of another couple of ladyboy bars down that strip? Any info would be appreciated.
There is a review of this bar on Trip Advisor as follows:
Amazing bar in Manila”

This is a wonderful Bakla (Ladyboy) bar in Manila, it is situated in Malate, right down the far end of Mabini street the opposite end to Roxas boulevard.
It is a little pricey, as you pay an entrance fee of around 300php, then 5oophp to drink as much as you can for 1 hour and 30 mins, which to be fair is reasonable, then you choose on of the lady boys to sit and be your hostess so to speak, pour your drinks etc, a ladies drink is another 300php.
So ok, you can spend around 2500php in 3 hours but trust me it is and experience and the bakla`s (Ladyboys) are hugely talented, singers and dancers, you can also do Videoke if you want, and they will alll dance like your backing troupe..it is Japanese owned and is frequented by quite a few Japanese and Korean visitors, not just men i saw couples (as me and my Fiance are) and i saw a korean mother, father and son...its all very pleasant and like i said its an experience, and trust me if you go, choose Aliyah or Casey....both maganda (beautiful) and are actually better looking than any English woman i have ever dated!! Enjoy
There are very few dedicated lb bars in the Philippines. If I recall one called Mixed Nuts closed a while ago. Another place you could try is the Amazing Show. This is a filipina lb cabaret show - however, you cannot be obvious about asking out a performer, as management bans that and the performer could be fired/disciplined. If you see the show, there is a "photo session" afterwards, where you can have your picture taken with the showgirl. You usually tip - at this point in time you slip her a note with your mobile number on it. If she is up for p4p, she will call you later when she is available. Note that not all of the performers are up for p4p - so you need to be diplomatic and judge how it goes, should she contact you.
There was a fire in Feb 2013 that damaged the theatre, and shows were suspended. Not sure if they have restarted, but here is the website with contact details: The Amazing Show
Ladyboys in Philippines are 95 % pre op.. In Malate the area where also Mr Women is located there are a few other bars and discohouses frequently visited by ladyboys.
There is an other one, named Club Mwah http://www.clubmwah.com/ But its located along Boni Avenue , the others side of Metro-manila. Its a show cabaret with big shows, and most of the performers and artists are ladyboys too
