For this postal service I've roped inward the assistance of my lovely fiance in addition to he has kindly written this for me based on his experiences. He doesn't have a spider web log but he is on Twitter in addition to if y'all similar what y'all read y'all tin honor him @AskSirStamford (yes that's correct Singapore's commencement expat has discovered the Internet in addition to social networking)! Anyway taste every bit he tells y'all nearly the coolest bars inward the Lion City.
As my commencement invitee postal service on this fine spider web log I thought that I would highlight 5 cool bars inward Singapore that are merely swell for a Fri nighttime beer (or 1 whatever other fourth dimension for that matter).
In no detail monastic tell of preference, the bars are: -
• Loof, North Bridge Road (opposite Raffles Hotel, higher upwardly the Supper Club)
• 1-Altitude, One Raffles Place (in the quondam OUB Centre)
• KPO, Killiney Road, Off Orchard Road
• No. 5, Emerald Hill
• Blu Jaz, Ophir Street, Bugis
Loof
This is a cool roof overstep bar, that has a bang-up Fri nighttime happy lx minutes (up to 8pm), with ii for 1 on jugs of beer, cocktails in addition to wines. Also they volition serve you the 2nd quaff of the monastic tell afterwards (one could non live expected to quaff warm ale, inward this climate, merely non the done thing, quondam boy), so the play a joke on is to monastic tell in addition to pay for drinks every bit in addition to when needed upwardly until the cease of the inexpensive stream in addition to and so cash inward the chits to secure your gratis beers (all happy hour drinks ask to live served yesteryear 9:30pm). The snacky nutrient is also excellent, with the lamb chops beingness a theatre favourite. In terms of ambiance y'all sit down either on comfy sofas or on wooden stools at hip tables in addition to sentry the people every bit they relax into the weekend. It was hither that nosotros met some Singaporean TV star / model, no thought who he was but he had a few hangers on attached to his coattails.
1-Altitude
This bar is on the overstep of 1 of the tallest buildings inward Singapore in addition to hence has bang-up views across Marina Bay, the Central Business District (CBD) in addition to inward fact if y'all went on a clear night to Malaysia (Truly Asia - every bit the tourist board advertising get states) in addition to Indonesia. When I attended it started out every bit a rainy eve (with lightening, whereas I thought that would live cool it was deemed to live a tad dangerous yesteryear the management, wusses). So nosotros were holed upwardly inward the downstairs sports bar at first (downstairs is non actually accurate every bit it is on the 59th flooring of the building), which has a serial of golf game simulators available for use. Once nosotros were allow back upstairs nosotros ordered a few drinks, in that location is a proficient make of cocktails, beers in addition to wines in addition to a charge of comfy sofas in addition to armchairs to lounge around in, but the existent argue to live upwardly in that location is the view. One quirky thing with our see was that in that location were a few spiders, mistaken torso parts in addition to a few zombies dotted around the place, it was Halloween (the waiting staff were also covered inward blood in addition to bandages) but I don't retrieve this is a regular thing!

KPO
The telephone substitution characteristic of KPO, which stands for Killiney Post Office (given that the bar is attached to a Post Office, hence if the queue inward the Post Office is long, 1 tin teach a beer piece y'all hold off to postal service your letters dorsum to Blighty), is that in that location are ever flash cars parked exterior (the strange Lambo, ruby or yellowish Ferrari, Aston Martin or Porsche). That said 1 would assume that the drinks prices would live steep, they are non in addition to are in fact with the cheapest I receive got encountered in twelve months inward the Lion City (about 10 bucks for a pint of draught lager). Additionally the bar sells a broad make of weird in addition to wonderful beers from Kingdom of Belgium in addition to proficient cocktails (my friends oft receive got a multifariousness of differing martinis, lychee is a favourite). The house to live is exterior on the upstairs terrace, lovely on a warm eve (aren’t all Singapore evenings a tad barmy). Or bliss on a chilled out Sat afternoon inward the sunshine and a perfect escape from the shopping frenzy of Orchard Road, (chaps delight Federal Reserve notation this when your meliorate one-half is wanting a shopping trip, grip in addition to and so gradient off for a cool beer).
No. 5
No. 5 is the argue why I receive got renamed the Emerald Hill expanse Downhill, because a trip hither on a Fri nighttime is fantabulous but volition atomic number 82 to a dodgy Sat in addition to inward extreme cases a wiped out weekend. Seriously it is a bang-up house for a inexpensive martini (two for 1 on Fridays) or indeed for the nutcases with us (I include myself inward that assessment) it is non bad for a Jager Bomb or five. Just rest away from the chili vodka (to live institute inward a yoke of huge vats inward the middle of the bar, taunting the unsuspecting victim with its evilness), it is foul, rancid in addition to horrid, never bring 1 of these from a good pregnant adventurous friend. Bombs aside, the nutrient is proficient (chicken wings teach scoffed really quickly), atmosphere bright in addition to boisterous in addition to it is 1 of solely ii places inward Singapore that allows y'all to throw the peanut shells on the flooring (no prizes for guessing the other one). Additionally, if it is also busy in that location is ever Ice Cold Beer a picayune farther upwardly the Emerald Hill strip or indeed the aforementioned KPO across the t’other side of Orchard Road.
Blu Jaz
What tin I say nearly Blu Jaz? It is great. Food is proficient (I would recommend the chicken curry or the bar snacks, including fish fingers shaped similar fish), service is proficient (a rarity inward Singapore, I hateful how hard is it to teach the correct quaff to the correct individual inward a timely fashion, seems it is a fighting inward many bars inward the city) in addition to the atmosphere is ever chilled out. H5N1 direct a opportunity honor given that it is non inward the metropolis (I stayed around the corner when I commencement arrived inward Singapore twelve brusque months ago) but a proficient one. In summary KOOL!
Other notable additions to the listing could also live Red Dot (either at Dempsey or Boat Quay), BQ Bar (also on Boat Quay), Harry’s at Chijmes (especially to sentry Liverpool play in addition to sadly lose to a greater extent than oft than not, UPDATE - Apr 2015 with the revamping of Chijmes it looks every bit if the Liverpool supporters social club no longer run into at the Harry's, tin anybody confirm where they right away become to sentry matches?), the Indochine on Club Street or Ying Yang (also on Club Street) or mayhap Muddy Murphy’s (off Orchard Road) for a Dominicus roast. Smith’s Chippy on Tanjong Katong Road (UPDATE - Jan 2016 this branch is right away closed. If y'all desire your fish in addition to bit cook y'all tin caput to Balmoral Plaza, Bukit Timah Road) also serves beer in addition to GREAT fish in addition to chips (only missing beingness wrapped inward yesterday’s edition of The Sun).
