I am assuming from your question that you will only be in Manila, and not outside. I think the best area for you to stay in is Malate / Ermita. Quezon Av. can be fun, but has mostly those "pay" / "barfine" type places if you want to meet girls. In Malate / Ermita there are these types of places, but also normal bars with live bands and stuff where you can meet more normal people.
There aren't too many "concerts," but a lot of good bars with live music. Try just walking down Nakpil St., Adriatico near Remedios Circle, Mabini St., and Del Pilar St towards the UN Av / Padre Faura end.
A good budget hotel is Malate Pensionne. You have a few bars right across the street and around the corner.
For Music Try:
Unplugged, Hobbit House, Cafe Havanna (weekends), LA Cafe, Amazonia (weekends), Cowboy Grill (one in Mabini, smaller one in Remedios),Baywalk, and a bunch of other places on Nakpil.
For Girls Try:
LA Cafe, Amazonia, Harrys, G-point, Cafe Havanna, Baywalk, almost anywhere
For food Try:
Juris, Cafe Adriatico, Guernicas, Harry's, Seafood Wharf (Rizal Park).
There are a few Casions, I think there is a decent one in the Hyatt.
Have a blast, its a great place! If others mention Makati - stay away from there. Overpriced and full of stuck up people. If you like shopping malls, Makati is the place - Malate is the real Manila!

Have some respect for yourself and meet a nice girl or three online before you go who'll meet you for a date and an evening out, or while there meet someone working at a store somewhere and ask her out, don't just pick up whores at night clubs. Just make sure you use a condom with both nice girls and/or whores because you don't want to leave a baby behind like my friend Chris, who's still looking for his American father after 20 years.

i gonna give you some good advice about drinking and meeting girls and you better damned well take it, the Philippines has the highest V/D rate on earth so take my warning seriously i have been there while i was in the navy. they have plenty of girls and most of them have at least one std i think that when you get to the first bar it will be all over for sight seeing and bungee jumping. have fun on you vacation and be sure to get a couple of belutes for your first lunch you will love them.

you can do a lot in manila. let's begin w/ night life. you can go to Quezon ave. and take your pick on the nightspots there & drink yourself to oblivion. we have casinos near the international airport, Roxas Blvd. you can visit the beaches of palawan, boracay & bohol. you can do a lot more. wait for others to post their answers.

There are many different casinos in Manila.
Find them all here: http://www.casinofilipino-online.com/
Don't go looking for women at bars.. unless you want
to risk being robbed, drugged, or given an STD.
