Sound Stage Music Bar

Live bands play here most nights. Sound Stage is a bar and grill in Malate, also known as Estudio De Sunido. Different local artists and two-piece bands come through, and there's karaoke if you want a turn. Opens 5PM, runs to 4AM, closed Sundays.

Grilled pulutan is what you order, plus cold beer and local brews. Cocktails too. Nothing pricey. The band plays into the early hours, which is the whole reason to come.

Local crowd, regulars, groups who come for OPM and stay too long. Casual, nobody's dressed up. Good if you want music without a club.
