Xylo at The Palace

About Xylo at The Palace

Trance and big-room EDM set the register here, and the room is built for it — volume high, hands up, the floor moving from the first drop through to closing rather than easing anyone into conversation. House and commercial hits keep the crowd broad, and the 9th Avenue address inside the Uptown Parade complex puts it within walking distance of most of BGC's late-night spillover, which is why Friday and Saturday are the nights that matter. Bottle service and VIP booths do the heavy lifting at the top end, and the $$$$ band reflects that: this is a table-and-bottle economy more than a bar-tab one. Smart elegant is enforced, so trainers and shorts are a gamble. Doors are open year-round, drinking age is 18, and the room skews to a mid-twenties-to-forties mix of Manila locals, wider Asian visitors and tourists who have found their way over. A 4.4 average across nearly 1,300 reviews suggests it delivers what it advertises.
