The birth of a new Republiq was on Thursday June 17, 2010, roll out the red carpet!!! It was definitely one of the hottest parties that we have attended of 2010 as everybody who was anybody was there dressed to impress for a private black tie event with an open bar starting from 7:00PM. From the gliteratti to the paparazzi, we managed to squeeze ourselves in the middle. By the time we got there around 11ish, the place was completely packed to capacity including a few local celebrities and international models.

It was our first time at Resorts World and our initial impression was the shopping promenade had a resemblance to Caesar’s Palace in Vegas – marbled and majestic without the picturesque sky mural on the ceiling. While the luxury retail stores are still scheduled to open in the next few months, this place is definitely worth walking through aside from visiting the Casino.

Republiq is located on the 2nd Floor of Resorts World and the entrance hall was quite spacious and a tremendous improvement from the original Embassy’s humble beginnings at the fort. Thanks to Vanessa, we quickly obtained our stamps for entry.

Upon entering the main dance hall, the music was pumping and there was a buzz of activity as it was still an open bar on Absolut vodka! The ambient and comfortable neo-classic interiors with high industrial style ceilings, modern lighting and baroque palacial bas-relief was a refreshing change of scenery and brings Manila ever closer to the New York club scene.

We joined our friends Saf and Tanya at the more relaxed left hand side bar while watching the host for the evening Tim Yap do his thing. A few dirty martinis later and it was time to rip up the dance floor.

With a total capacity of 800 people, convenient and available parking, experienced and friendly staff, the vivacious Embassy clients and no curfew at Resorts World makes Republiq one of the best clubbing venues in Manila. With respect to security, this has also been improved as the first security sweep is done by Resorts World before further pat downs by Republiq security. How was your Republiq experience?
