Club Mwah

Club Mwah! was the go-to drag cabaret in Mandaluyong, sitting on F. Martinez Avenue near Boni. It put on elaborate revues with drag queens, trans performers, singers, and dancers, blending song-and-dance numbers with comedy. These shows drew a loyal following among LGBTQ+ groups and also attracted a mixed crowd of tourists. You could expect a high-energy night out, with costumes that were just as much a part of the show as the performances themselves. The 2020 lockdowns took a toll, and Club Mwah! is reported to have closed its doors. Don't show up expecting a night of drag and dance without checking its official social pages or giving them a call first - the shows may not have resumed. If it's closed, you'll find Metro Manila's drag scene has dispersed to other areas, like Quezon City and Poblacion in Makati.
