La Cafe Manila Philippines Ultimate Guide

Manila, the capital city of Philippines hosts thousands of cafes, bars nightclubs, striptz clubs, casinos and more. That is the reason Pilipinos describe “it’s more fun in the Philippines” yea, that is really true. If you want to know more about Manila Nightlife, You can READ HERE but, I would like to point out one of the best cafe-bar and the most hot spot for nightlife fellas in Manila called LA CAFE MANILA.

By coincidence I found this bar but thanks to that, I have found a new stop for the nightlife fellows that one can find various and unlimited fun.

LOCATION

La Cafe Manila is located on 1429 M. H. Del Pilar St, Ermita, Manila. This is an official address but for those who know Robinson mall, may walk around 7 minutes to get LA Cafe.

WORKING HOURS

LA Cafe is open year around and 7/24. Yea it’s true. This bar never shuts the door but during day time between 7:00 am – 22:00 pm, it’s not too crowded. For those who want to keep drinking and killing time, LA Cafe is still on your order. You may find few girls around in this time who couldn’t find a hero but they would be probably tired. The best time to go LA Cafe is right after 1:00 AM till the first lights of the day when the girls are fresh and active.

GENRE

LA Cafe is kind a mixture of restaurant & club. They have local but good live band usually between 23:00 PM – 6:00 AM. They also have happy hour between 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM. The LA Cafe restaurant offers some international and local breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner options anytime of the day. This venue is 2 floor establishment.  Ground floor is the most crowded and free of charge floor. You would probably prefer the ground floor as most of the freelancers are enjoying there. Live band and dancing is operated at second floor where you will pay entrance fee.  There is also pool boards if you want to play. It’s at the first floor.

SAFETY

Most visitors are worry about safety in LA Café but this is just a delusion. LA Cafe is absolutely safe. I have been there almost every day and stayed about 6 hours. Nothing happened and nothing will happen to you if you are not the trouble himself!

LA Cafe Manila secured by bodyguards and the short guys welcoming you at the entrance. No scammers allowed inside as they know the people around. They really care about their guest except the greedy waitress asking for tip all the time. You don’t have to give but its kind an embarrassing for me.

ENTRANCE FEE, PRICING, DRESS CODE

LA Cafe entrance is free of charge. There is no special dress code for the bar which means whatever you want to wear, you are welcomed. Pricing in bar is quite cheap. You will only pay 90 pesos for a beer which is cheaper than a causal restaurant in Manila.

 They don’t charge anything extra. You just need to check your bill whether it’s true or not. Each time you order, you will get a bill for your order. When you are ask for the bill they will collect all the vouchers and give you back your final bill.

LA CAFE MANILA FREELANCER GIRLS     

Well this post may not be fit for the ladies as LA cafe is not only a bar but also a hot meeting spot for those fellas who are looking for love, romance and fun or whatever you want to call it. Its kind a girlie bar where many freelancer Philippine waiting for men to be picked for the night. No exaggerating but 9 out of 10 guest inside are women. But those girls are almost all freelancers. Don’t forget that only money talks in LA Cafe Manila, nothing else!

If you are handsome and looking for a girl for free, this place is not for you, for sure. Don’t trust your handsomeness. It may help you with decreasing the deal but it won’t help you to pick a Filipino girl up for free. Yes it’s really true, do not push yourself hard, just bargain with the girl without hesitation.

There are many girls at age of 17 – 40 inside. Once you are in, the girls will compete to grab you first. You will feel like Brad Pitt once in a life time as many eyes will be on you.

CAUTIONS

  • Bargain with lady before you go out and make sure that she understand you well. In some cases, they are asking more money after love. So make sure the deal is deal!
  • Don’t let the women take you upstairs in the LA cafe. There is entrance fee for upstairs which they charge for live band. And the drinks may be more expensive for the ladies.
  • Do not pay any bar fine if requested. Don’t forget, there is no bar fine in LA Cafe.
  • Deal with lady for a whole night, not for short time. Most of them are leaving right after the first love. Ask them to make sure that they will stay until morning.
  • Politely ignore the little beggars and Viagra vendors on the street of LA cafe. Do not eye contact with them. They are not dangerous but annoying.

Pricing generally starts from 2000 pesos per night depends on you and the women that you picked. They may ask for 5000 pesos but this is just a bait. If you are newbie, they will easily get you trapped. 2000 pesos may only available in case the girl likes you. If you are old enough, unfortunately the price will hike up! An average lady may come with you for all night somewhere around 2500 to 6000 pesos depends on many factor with you.

  1. LA cafe is the best and only freelancer bar in Malate. prices are better then Uncle Cheffy (a middle east restaurant) Uncle Cheffy charged me around 500 peso for 2 Heineken Beer. i even did not paid that much in nightclub. La cafe is safe for cost and atmosphere. to many girls waiting inside for you. i took one for 1500 pesos for all night. but she asked me 4000 before. i am handsome and 27 y.o it also affect. good luck and have fun

  2. Hi, minimum lady goes with you 2000 pesos which is a old and not too sexy one. If you go for charm one, even you are brad Pitt they will ask 4000 min. Cheapest time in la cafe is after 5:00 Am but you may not find a good one. Who knows 🙂 enjoy

  3. La cafe Thé best and safiest bar in Malate enjoy your night, Mark was there heheheh

  4. I agree with you about la cafe. Years ago I stayed Las Palmas hotel. I found it not only comfortable and guest frendly. Back to la cafe. In my opinion it is without a fun place to spend your time in. In my opinion the girls range from 18 to 40 and can be rated between a la 5 and 7. About the cost of the girls. Depending on what desires you want, expect 1500 to 2500. However, if you want special services expect to pay more. But over all if you think about it for less then 5000 pesos it a great deal.

  5. Very Informative thank you…my question is are there girls in there 24/7?

    I ask because I only have 2 days in Manila…wanted to hit Edsa Ent. Complex, P Burgos and Adriatico near Robinsons also

    • Hi Bruce,

      If you have only 2 days, its better for you to stuck around malate and enjoy the night outs in LA cafe. Roaming around the spots that you mentioned may cost you money and time as you stated you have limited time.

  6. I’m a local. I go there and look for h..k..s .I waited for 4 hours .nada. every girl were ugly . Why is that

    • Hi Jasper,

      There is no such people to promote anything at LA cafe. You just need to talk with the lady that you like directly, you don’t need anyone to assist you. good luck.

  7. Hey Ya’ll.

    Here in Manila right this moment…will go to LA Cafe 2night and find me a nice and prefreble young lady to have a great time with

    I was here a couple of years ago and picked up some different girls. 2500 p back then for all the girls I took out. Nice and tiny girls around 25 yo…great time. Took 3 ladies my last night! To have great time with 3 ladies at the same time takes your man

    Also had a great 3some on Boracay of all place that time….man those were the days.

    I’m married so I took the girls to the short time hotel right outside the entrance of LA Cafe…I don’t remember the name. The only thing I remember was that the price was 700 p and you got a basket with toothbrush, towels, soap and condom

    Anyone know the name and if it is still the same? Best regards John…

  8. So what if my hotel is quite far away (for business reasons), but I still want to take a girl out for fun. WHat do you suggest me to do?

    • Hi Stevo,

      It really depends on your hotel location, La Cafe for Ermita region. I cant comment you if i have no idea where do you stay. Please share your full holiday story here, we would like to hear your experience and share on nightlifediary.com

  9. When my wife is away. I want to explore all the girls around the metro Manila.
    I went to la cafe but sadly all of them looked like our house maid.
    their price were outrageous also
    the face value was 4/10 but she told me her rate was 5k
    wow
    anyway. hard to park your car here as well

  10. Corona update: it’s not crowded as before in last year. I go there every year and I never seen la cafe empty like this before. It was first time closed for few days during lock down in Manila. Stay safe

  11. Great place and very central. Cheap also. Girls are so beautiful inside. Definitely recommend

  12. I disagree with your advice about Birch Tower and specifically JMM Grand Suites. This buiding is not guest friendly and to prove this they have even installed turnstyle type gates to access the elevator area. There is always a security guard by these turnstyles. In the days before they installed them it was not guest friendly either and visitors were subjected to insutling questions about their reasons for visiting.
    All the hotels in Birch tower are also pretty expensive for what they are and due to the design of the building there are none that face the bay directly. Worth pointing out for anyone hoping to get a sea view room. Sorry to be so negative but having stayed in JMM myself for 2 weeks and realising how shit it was for the money paid I thought I would comment.
