Jameron Electronics bar in Manila, what's the deal?

fmd_goodJameron Electronics · #manila #electronics
Staying near Jameron Electronics in Manila next month and the listing says it's a bar. Is it actually a bar or an electronics shop with a bar inside? Would love to know what to expect before I book.

that stretch of raon (gonzalo puyat) is all electronics wholesalers so a "bar" tag is almost certainly a data error. if u want actual nightlife nearby look toward legarda or the remigio side instead. verify the pin drops on the right building before paying anything

Raon St proper, near the Quiapo church end.

yeah the church end is right, but the whole stretch past the mosque is electronics too so the bar tag is likely just a bad pin drop. maybe worth messaging the host for the actual unit number

Legarda's your best bet for an actual drink, though the pickings are thin and mostly beer joints near the LRT.

Paterno St side is the actual bar strip

Fair point on the pin drop. One thing to watch: a lot of those wholesale buildings have a unit number on the second floor that maps pins never pick up, so ask the host for the floor too. If it's the Quiapo side, the streets get confusing fast after dark.

Hidalgo St side, past the church, that's where the actual bars are

Second this, unit numbers on the 2nd floor never show up.

Jameron is an electronics shop, not a bar. The listing probably tagged it wrong or it's a karaoke/bar nearby with a similar name. Check the exact street address against Google Maps before you book.

Agree, the pin's usually a block off near Villalobos.

Manila dating 2026: where do people actually meet?

fmd_goodFe-Bulous Canteen · #coffee
I'm moving to Manila later this year and trying to get a read on the dating scene before I land. Is it mostly apps, or do people still meet through friends and work? I keep hearing about casual coffee… I'm moving to Manila later this year and trying to get a read on the dating scene before I land. Is it mostly apps, or do people still meet through friends and work? I keep hearing about casual coffee spots like Fe-Bulous Canteen as low-pressure first date places, so curious how that usually goes.

Fe-Bulous works because it's cheap and you can bail after one coffee without it feeling like a failed date. I'd say apps get you the first meetup but friends-of-friends still carry most serious introductions, especially in Makati and BGC circles.

from what i've seen visiting, a lot of people meet through church groups & running clubs in bgc, plus the whole "mutual friend invites u to a birthday" thing. apps are big but the serious stuff often starts offline. idk, felt more organic than i expected

Birthday invites, yes. Running clubs less so, they skew expat.

Bar trivia nights and hobby groups around Quezon City tend to break the ice faster than apps ever will.
