What is a Girly Bar?
Understanding PR Bars & Hostess Bars in Manila
A girly bar (also called a PR bar or hostess bar) is a legal, licensed entertainment establishment in the Philippines where female companions called PR girls or GROs (Guest Relations Officers) entertain male guests.
Guests pay for the company of these women by the hour alongside drinks. PR girls are trained to sing, pour drinks, and provide conversation — they are entertainers, not sex workers.
Manila has hundreds of girly bars ranging from budget establishments on Burgos Street to upscale hostess lounges in BGC. Understanding the different types and pricing helps you find the right experience.
Important: Always confirm prices before engaging services. Use reputable, licensed venues. Be aware of your surroundings and keep track of your tab.
