I've only been there once on a weeknight, but it leaned more cocktails than beer and pulutan. Fridays get busy so I'd book ahead, and drinks ran maybe 350 to 600 pesos when I went.

Good call on booking ahead. I'd add that the cocktails lean spirit-forward and a bit sweet, so if you want beer and pulutan, order off the bar menu instead. Friday after 9pm is packed, so aim for 7pm or 8pm.

Splitting a few plates of sisig and a round of beers still works out cheaper than the cocktail list, roughly 250 to 400 pesos per head.

Fair warning, sisig portions there are small, so two plates each if you're actually hungry.

Bar menu pours run until midnight.

That tracks, though the bar side gets going later, so if you want a quieter seat aim early rather than after 10.

Reserve by Thursday, Friday slots go early.

The 350 to 600 range sounds right, though expect the top end once the live acoustic set starts around 10.

Sounds about right, though the crowd thins out a lot by 11.

I'm not based in Manila so take this with a grain of salt, but I visited last year and Great Shakes is fine, just not a pilgrimage. If you're staying in that area, the nearby streets have better options for a proper shake, and the small cafes around the side roads tend to be quieter in the mornings. Worth walking a few blocks before committing.
