Alcohol is cheap like everywhere in the Philippines. During Atiatihan festival, alcohol is very much readily available at supermarkets, convenience stores, corner stores, and literally alongside the road. The coldest beer in Kalibo--sometimes literally frozen--is at Lakapaya, a small restaurant/carinderia two blocks from the city plaza pilsen for P25. Their P25 arroz caldo rice soup is excellent drunk food. For some local brew, tuba, fermented coconut wine is popular amongst the locals usually in far-flung barangays and might be worth the taste if you are offered one.
Fruit juices are widely available and made fresh owing to the abundance and proximity of fruit-producing provinces including Aklan.
Kalibo has several coffee shops. The cheapest is the Big Bean, located near the rotunda which lights up like a Christmas tree at night and next door to Chow King. Its best deals as of Jan. '11 are the P35 espresso and the P55 espresso/Americano & pancake with egg or bacon. Between the rotunda and the airport is Latte, a swanky, western-friendly coffeehouse and restaurant espresso for about P65. Be warned that, like most upscale restaurants in Kalibo, the service will be extremely polite but sometimes incompetent and often slow. There's also a smaller Latte in downtown Kalibo with sandwiches and espresso. The comparably-priced Third Cup is located in the city plaza, nearby. One place definitely worth checking out is Euro-Asia Bakery, located down the street from the plaza past the gay-friendly nightclub Mezzanine. It has a variety of breads without sugar added, plus brewed coffee for P40 plus P10 for milk. They serve a decent but unspectacular American-style breakfast with tea, eggs, ham, and toast for P120.
