Things must do in Singapore: Chill Out Bars - Job 3

As these posts seem together with thence pop amongst my readers (and it's Fri together with thence a few beverages later a long calendar week are most definitely inwards order) my fiance has in ane lawsuit to a greater extent than been busy writing nearly diverse bars inwards Singapore that are worth a visit.  His latest best 5 bars are detailed below.  If yous are on Twitter together with yous similar what yous read follow him at @AskSirStamford.

Long Bar at Raffles Hotel

On Beach Road, is the absolute colonial bar amongst black wood, ceiling fans (motorised inwards this twenty-four threescore minutes catamenia together with age, although I imagine at ane dot in that location must get got been a pitiable unfortunate urchin sat inwards the corner pulling a cord inwards monastic state to hap the establishment cool together with comfortable), slickly dressed barmen together with bar women together with slow chairs.  It is located on the kickoff flooring at the dorsum of the hotel, higher upwards a courtyard bar.  It is, of course, the abode of the Singapore Sling (designed every bit a imbibe for the ladies sometime earlier 1915 by Ngiam Tong Boon and straightaway every tourists imbibe of choice, it would surely last ane for Del Boy, mange tout mange tout).  As previously mentioned in that location are ii bars inwards Singapore where littering is permitted (with monkey nut shells) together with the Long Bar is ane of them (no prizes for knowing the other one, I get got written nearly it before), it beingness mutual to throw the shells or whole nuts on the flooring for fun.  Usually I prefer to sit down at the bar, every bit opposed to ane of the many tables (which I experience are rather likewise closely packed together) together with people-watch (a fun pastime amongst together with thence many tourists around) amongst a Tiger pint (flipping expensive hither at $18++, added service together with Goods together with Service Tax, GST). When I kickoff arrived inwards Singapore this was the haunt of choice, on a Lord's Day afternoon, every bit ane could normally guarantee a conversation amongst a Brit, Aussie or Yank (Westerner chat, oftentimes craved past times the fresh off the boat expat).

New Asia Bar

At the Swissotel, higher upwards Raffles City Mall, is a high ascension bar amongst spectacular views across Singapore (including all the ships at anchor inwards the bay awaiting to charge or unload) to Malaysia together with Indonesia.  The best fourth dimension to teach is merely prior to sunset, although it is oftentimes hard to teach a window-side tabular array (incidentally the windows are the flooring to ceiling diversity together with thence if yous endure from vertigo produce non stand upwards likewise unopen to them, else yous may experience a petty dizzy).  The drinks carte du jour is rattling very extensive, extending over several pages of a rattling swish booklet, roofing every conceivable cocktail nether the Sun (or sunset), a hit of beers together with practiced wines (it actually is splendid supping champagne to celebrate a birthday every bit the Sun slips gracefully beneath the horizon inwards the west). One such cocktail is served inwards a white porcelain merlion (I ask ane of these containers), although I produce non profess to know what imbibe it contains.  On the beer forepart yous tin terminate monastic state a larger ale served inwards a one-half yard drinking glass (on a wooden stand, similar inwards agency to Kwak drinking glass served inwards Oosters, Far East Square) amongst the challenge beingness to imbibe it without roofing ane self inwards beer every bit yous teach to the large bulb at the bottom of the glass.  Later inwards the nighttime the bar turns inwards to a variety of trip the low-cal fantastic toe social club amongst many ‘big fish, petty fish’ tunes (although non every bit hardcore every bit Stereolab or Zouk).

Scruffy Murphy's

Within East Coast Park, is a corking house for a Lord's Day afternoon chill out together with brunch past times the sea.  It is a fairly typical Singaporean Irish Gaelic bar (operated past times the Gaelic Inns chain, amongst other branches beingness The Penny Black on Boat Quay together with Muddy Murphy's at Orchard Towers), serving nutrient that to a greater extent than oftentimes than non hails from the emerald island (or at to the lowest degree from the British Isles) together with the touchstone hit of beers (Tiger, Guinness, Bodies) together with wines.  The nutrient inwards full general is good, a flake basic but does what it says on the menu.  Particularly splendid is the all twenty-four threescore minutes catamenia fry upwards consisting of the park suspects, served on an enormous plate amongst toast etc.  One give-and-take of warning, if yous monastic state the fish together with chips depository fiscal establishment gibe that yous teach chips together with non mash, actually who the feck (Irish phrase there) orders deep fried fish amongst crush potato, apologies if yous are that weirdo.  Anyway, it is a fab house to relax at the weekend amongst the audio of the waves inwards the background, the sights of people attempting to Rollerblade together with girls on the backs of tandem bicycles non peddling whilst their boyfriends produce all the operate (top marks for loafing).  Finally the bar is ideally located, if yous get got been energetic together with hired a bike (about $15 for 3 hours) together with cycled upwards together with downward the East Coast Park (one tin terminate cycle to Changi Village, past times the airport), for restorative pint earlier having a sleep.

Update thirteen Jan 2013 - I'm a petty belatedly amongst this ane but Scruffy Murphy's is no more. Sadly it closed final year.  Their website does shout for that they'll last dorsum together with to follow their Facebook page for updates.  So sentinel that infinite I approximate together with fingers crossed!

Prince of Wales

On Boat Quay, is the 2d branch of the pop backpacker pub based on Dunlop Street inwards Little India.  The Boat Quay version is inwards an old narrow shophouse overlooking the river (there is also a terrace amongst seats adjacent to the river).  The bar within is made upwards of a enterprise slab of wood that looks every bit if it was cutting out of ane of the East Bharat Company’s clippers together with buffed up, giving the house a hold off of an oldie globe dorsum street boozer (in fact the kickoff fourth dimension I frequented the articulation it was inhabited past times a duo of old Navy boys telling tales of drunkenness on the high seas, that sort of place).  Drinks-wise the offerings are fairly standard, although the beer options are excellent, coming from small-scale regional Aussie brewers (and a practiced hit of bottled beers, anywhere that serves my old friend James Boags is worth a mention).  For nutrient to compliment the drinking in that location is a Mexican franchise, serving , err Mexican food  (tacos, fajitas, enchiladas etc. amongst beef, fish or chicken) inwards huge tasty sumptuous quantities (a tiffin fourth dimension halt hither together with the afternoon may require a siesta), including wonderful apple tree based desserts.  My kickoff even out trip to the bar nosotros encountered a Mexican festival celebrating a victorious battle (led past times a bunch of farmers) amongst French (always a argue for an Englishman to celebrate French defeats) that included a piñata filled amongst sweets together with coin off tokens (free nutrient together with beer) – a lot of fun was had past times all amongst a few sore heads I imagine.  

Red Dot Micro-Brewery

They get got ii branches inwards Singapore (the Red Dot on the South East Asian map), located on Boat Quay together with on Dempsey Hill.  As a micro-brewery the beer served is to a greater extent than oftentimes than non splendid together with extends across a broad hit of styles.  There is an splendid Cologne agency kolsch (I enjoyed this on a trip to the city’s Christmas Markets inwards 2009 together with also on London’s Southbank), every bit good every bit a low-cal English-style summertime ale together with a darker maltier stout.  The most odd beer is the appropriately named Monster Green (I am sure this was also a grapheme inwards ane of my kids’ story books) which is unsurprisingly dark-green inwards coloring (a herb amongst wellness bringing qualities has been added).  I volition state that it takes a boundary of faith to imbibe but in ane lawsuit sampled in that location is no going back. Given the dark-green nature of the beer, the bars ran out on St Patrick’s Day this year.  Of the ii bars, I get got frequented the Boat Quay branch to a greater extent than regularly (in fact I am in all likelihood considered a local past times the normally bright staff).  It is situated nearer the Raffles Place halt of the quay together with is in ane lawsuit to a greater extent than inwards an old shophouse (or to a greater extent than accurately several old shophouses) together with also has a terrace onto the Singapore River (one tin terminate oftentimes detect fish nibbling at the quay stones below one’s drinking perch).  The nutrient at Red Dot is good, ranging from bar snacks (chicken wings, wedges etc) to to a greater extent than substantial meals.  The Dempsey branch is based inwards the lush rainforests of the quondam British Army barracks together with is where the actual beer is brewed (more Monster Green is needed for adjacent March, guys).  The branch also includes a kids cookery schoolhouse on a Lord's Day which volition last sampled soon (Laura volition study upon that escapade inwards a futurity blog).
