Chaos, located inside the City of Dreams Mall and Casino in Manila is one of the poshest in the city. It is next to Pangea, who belong to the same group. The main difference between the two is that Chaos has EDM/House DJs and Pangea mostly Rn'Bs. Both are famous international brands of nightclubs with locations in London, Egypt and Singapore.
Chaos was built by nightlife professionals, meaning by people who know how to make money from a nightclub. In particular, they know that people are ready to spend lots of money to feel special and important. For instance, with expensive bottle purchases come firecrackers and hostesses. You also have a hierarchy of guests between those in VIP sofas and those at the bottom of the scale, on the dancefloor. I was there alone and I didn't like that there was not one place where I could enjoy my drink without being rushed by other people (considering I was just starting my night out). My recommendation would be to go to Chaos only for dancing, not for drinking.
The club is rather big with a main circular dancefloor surrounded by sofas. The crowd was about 80% upper class Filipinos with a relatively high number of escorts. Expats could be seen almost everywhere too. Dress code seemed not too strict as I could see women wearing flip flops. With many sofas and VIP spaces, it made the crowd a bit static so it disappointing in terms of atmosphere.
The best part of Chaos is the design, the sound system and the lighting. It is the best I've seen in Manila. It is truly world-class.
Overall:
Chaos is an upmarket nightclub with mainstream EDM music. Recommended for groups, not for individuals. Drinks are affordable and very generous in alcohol. Typical club where occasional clubbers go to be seen and flash their money.
Entrance fee was 1000 pesos when I visited (there was a special guest DJ Dirty South). They have International DJs very regularly (those who make the Top 100 DJ Mag ranking).
