Library Comedy Bar and Restaurant (The), Manila

Grab that microphone and belt your heart out at this ever-popular karaoke bar. It is frequented by all sorts of characters, including professional entertainers (singers and stand-up comedians) hired by the bar to amuse the crowds. Patrons come here mainly to get onstage themselves and display their own singing prowess. The decor is strictly for bookworms--floor-to-ceiling shelves stacked with leather-bound books (fakes, of course). Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are served with savory snacks.
