To really see the local culture, visit the hole-in-the-wall 70s Bistro, 46 Anonas Street, and Conspiracy Bar, Visayas Avenue, both in Quezon City. Both are owned by Filipino artists and feature some of the top musicians in the country. 70s Bistro, in particular, has been the breeding ground for the local music scene. Try visiting them when the following award-winning performers are onstage: Joey Ayala, Cynthia Alexander, Noel Cabangon, and The Jerks.
An eccentric establishment in Malate is the Hobbit House in Mabini Street. This club typifies the mash-up of cultures that is common in the country: it used to be owned by a retired US serviceman and performers are mostly country and folk singers. All these in a club where the décor is unmistakably Tolkien and the guests are served by hobbits.
