Once ane time to a greater extent than my fiance has been writing for my weblog together with is sharing his thoughts on other proficient bars inwards the Lion City. If yous similar what yous read follow him on Twitter, @AskSirStamford
So it seems that the start instalment of the Chill Out Bars has been a success inwards price of the pose out of hits on this first-class blog. Are nosotros all political party animals that taste naught to a greater extent than than a few beverages inwards Singapore’s watering holes?
Anyway, I thought I would write a 2nd edition together with then that nosotros tin stimulate around different places. So hither goes.
Again inwards no monastic say of preference: -
• Boomerang, Robertson Quay
• Ooesters, Far East Square
• Harry's at Chijmes
• The Post Bar, Fullerton Hotel
• Dallas on Boat Quay
I sympathise that around may non concur with my choices hither or before, if that is the instance delight please advise your ain exceed five.
Boomerang is a chilled out bar, cum eating theatre at the far terminate of Robertson Quay (the quieter, to a greater extent than relaxed of the 3 Singapore Quays) with first-class river views together with ‘modern Australian’ tucker (when I lived inwards Aus I ever wondered what ‘modern Aussie’ nutrient was, Western nutrient with Asian influence / fusion). Anyway the house is split upward into a eating theatre expanse for serious sit down downward eating, chatting together with relaxing into the twenty-four hours with a sumptuous brunch together with bar expanse with high tables together with stools (the total carte du jour is also offered inwards this area). I must nation that I accept exclusively been hither inwards the daytime for luncheon / brunch (scrambled egg with smoked salmon, yum) but the vibe is chilaxed. It tin larn busy during Australian sporting fixtures, such every bit Aussie rules or rugby matrimony matches (where tables volition hold out reserved close the TV together with an England shirt is non appropriate) but that’s OK. They also serve a non bad beer inwards Pure Blonde (low carb beer, it’s proficient for you, honest).
UPDATE - Boomerang lovers volition hold out excited to know that at that topographic point is directly a branch at Boat Quay every bit well.

Ooesters is a Belgian bar inwards Far East Square, simply off the Central Business District (CBD) that serves a vast array of beers from the 2nd greatest beer producing nation on the planet (obviously I course of pedagogy England every bit pose out ane for such fine brews every bit London Pride, Hobgoblin etc) including Leffe, Kwak (it is genuinely horrid but comes inwards a funny drinking glass that needs a exceptional stand). Additionally the bar serves the commons Belgian fare of mussels, steaks, chips with mayo etc. The nutrient itself is pretty good, concluding fourth dimension I went I shared a one-half kilo of mussels with friends (the sauce they were served inwards makes a proficient soup ane time the mussels are finished) together with steak frites with pepper sauce. H5N1 friend had beef casserole with chips that looked grand. The bar itself has wooden panelling together with seems to hold out really oldie worldy, which is sort of comforting, although ane tin sit down exterior together with people watch.
Harry’s at Chijmes is ane of many many Harry’s Bars (are they taking over the island, at that topographic point seems to hold out a novel ane popping upward every 5 minutes everywhere) together with is also dwelling of the Liverpool Supporters Club inwards Singapore (called, rather appropriately East of Anfield) together with thence shows close premier league matches. H5N1 exceptional atmosphere is saved for games involving the ane time mighty Reds where fans clad inwards blood-red (or other replica shirts) sing, chant, cheer together with despair depending on how the game is going (members also larn a discount card for drinks together with food, valid whatsoever fourth dimension together with inwards whatsoever Harry’s, making a Tiger pint toll $11 every bit opposed to $15 normally). There is Liverpool memorabilia on the walls (signed shirts, quotes from God (Bill Shankly), programmes etc) together with a puddle table. Food inwards the bar is average, but okay (burgers, nachos, chicken wings etc). If a football game based bar is non your affair at that topographic point are enough of other bars together with eateries inside the convent complex (my favourite is the pizzeria on the garden level, for non bad nutrient together with a lovely location). Come on yous Reds.
UPDATE Apr 2015 - having of late been to the revamped Chijmes whilst Harry's is even together with then at that topographic point it looks similar the supporters lodge may accept moved elsewhere. However I've no thought where, tin anybody help?

The Post Bar is the primary bar at the ultra-posh Fullerton Hotel together with is named due to the fact that the Fullerton Building was at ane fourth dimension Singapore’s General Post Office (amongst other things, it was also a gentleman’s club, similar the Reform Club inwards London, i.e. non seedy). Anyway, dorsum to the bar, it is on the Earth floor, dimly lite with soft musical note lighting together with has a proficient former British transportation service box inwards the entrance anteroom together with serves a total arrive at of beverages, include awesome (what an American word) cocktails. I am told that the Singapore Sling is the best inwards town (made fresh, dissimilar at that other institution, Raffles, where it is pre-mixed). Personally, I usually become for a drinking glass of Cloudy Bay (in fact the barman to a greater extent than frequently than non starts pouring earlier I ask, non certain that is a proficient thing). I accept non eaten at the bar, except the beer snacks of nuts, wasabi peas etc. Best fourth dimension to become is inwards the early on eventide when it is non every bit good busy, although the music is frequently a tad every bit good Ibiza-like.
Dallas on Boat Quay is a narrow bar at the UOB Plaza terminate of the quay (therefore far too handy for a lunchtime or afterward operate beer) that serves a non bad arrive at of nutrient for the hungry banker (a give-and-take of alert if yous monastic say the Chicken Parma, yous demand to hold out starving, it is massive). The bar gets quite busy of an eventide (except this week, it was raining together with the bar was dead) with a loud afterward operate crowd that spills out on to the pavement from the bar together with the terrace area. As for drinks, these are the criterion available from anywhere, wines, beers (Stella together with San Miguel on tap) together with spirits, at that topographic point is also a cocktail menu.
