How a night works

You will not stand by the bar alone.

  1. You arrive, your name is on the list.

    No printout, no queue. The host meets you at the door, hands you your first drink and asks what you do.

  2. The host introduces you.

    Within ten minutes you are in a group of three or four people chosen because you have something to talk about. That is the whole service.

  3. The room does the rest.

    Eighty people who each bought a ticket to meet new people. By ten the groups have mixed twice. By eleven you have a few numbers and a plan for next week.

Who comes

New to the city, new to the circle, or just done with the same five bars.

  • Founders, agency and finance people, 25 to 38, who want to meet outside their office
  • Creatives, models and fitness people who get invited to a lot and chosen for very little
  • Expats and balikbayans in their first year back, building a circle from zero
  • People who have been in BGC for years and still go out with the same group
From the host
“I started this because every good night I ever had in Manila came from someone introducing me to someone. I just made that the job.”

Questions
I’d be coming alone. Is that weird?
Most people do the first time. The host introduces everyone within the first ten minutes, so nobody stands alone. Coming alone is the normal way to come.
How do I get the venue?
Ticket holders get the exact venue and door instructions by Instagram message the day before. The neighbourhood is always BGC or Makati.
Can I bring a friend?
Yes. Buy two tickets, or message us their handle and we keep you together on the list.
What is the refund policy?
Full refund up to 48 hours before doors. After that, your ticket moves to the next night.
Is there an age limit?
21 and over. Bring an ID; the venue checks.
Who runs this?
The Guest List is a Party Life MNL night, hosted by Leon and produced by NextFrame, a Makati marketing studio. Questions go to the Instagram account; a person answers.

Spots are capped. Get on the list.

Tickets close when the room is full or 24 hours before doors, whichever comes first.
