We’re halfway through the year, and we’ve just passed a deluge of boozy festivals that have come our way — think the likes of Beerfest Asia and Negroni Week 2019. Just because these big events have come to a close doesn’t mean Singapore has entered a drought when it comes to good things worth drinking.
Here’s a roundup of the new bars in our city you ought to visit for quality cocktails, wines and more liquid goodness.
It’s not often that a bar offers something we’ve rarely come across, especially in a market so educated about food and drink like Singapore’s. Txa Pintxo Bar, housed in the recently overhauled Alkaff Mansion, is one of those intriguing gems. Txa Pintxo Bar serves up pintxos, a Basque country take on tapas served exclusively on skewers, along with Spanish wines and cocktails. Pay it a visit next weekend and revel at the gamut of Basquian morsels offered as a companion to your glass of Tempranillo.
6Grey Bar & Gin offers a global tour around the gin universe with 52 different expressions stocking its shelves, along with a staggering variety of tonics to go with. Besides just offering gin, 6Grey Bar intends to be an educational haven for the spirit, offering a rotation of masterclasses where you can get up close and personal with distillers on its premises.
Those who live in Tiong Bahru can get excited for a new neighbourhood watering hole in the form of The Vibez Bar. This relaxed joint has a menu of standard housepours and mod-Southeast Asian food, all served with zero fuss or frills.
