Looking for something recurring, like a weekly run club or board game night, not a one off event. Any cafes or groups around Great Shakes where regulars actually show up?

if ur around that area the Poblacion side has more of a regulars scene than people expect, Commune cafe on Polaris is where the same faces turn up for open mic nights midweek. for something recurring check the Manila Ultimate frisbee pickup games, they post on facebook and run most weekends in BGC. i visited last year and both were easy to slide into solo tbh

Commune open mic is Wednesdays, usually 8pm.

Great Shakes? That's Makati, not Manila proper.

That's not a real promo. Legitimate shake places in Manila don't sell "all month free drinks" cards on the street. A guy approaching you near a mall is a red flag by itself. If you want cheap shakes, the chains inside malls (like the ones in Robinsons or SM food courts) have fixed menus and posted prices. Pay per drink, don't hand anyone cash upfront.
