A Bukit Pasoh dive bar reborn as a 1960s Tokyo cocktail lounge: about 40 seats, original Falcon armchairs and a four-ingredient rule. A date bar; book the armchairs.
Bukit Pasoh's ten-year-old martini bar, for a pair or a small group. Order the house Gibson, with pickled pomelo and a smoked quail egg, then the martini made for fries.
The only Singapore bar in the 2026 world top 20 and Best Bar in Singapore again. Start with the yuzu whisky sour, read the menuzine, and check you've booked the right bar.
No classic cocktails, only the region: Thai rum, Sri Lankan arrack, foraged herbs and, famously, ants. The Amoy Street bar for a curious pair, not a birthday crowd.
The Purvis Street bar that tells Singapore's story in cocktails, now with drinks named after what you say when the bill comes. Bring the friend who thinks the Sling is the whole story.
Parkview Square's Jazz Age lobby bar, for a date or a visitor who needs impressing. Let the staff choose your gin, look up at the tower, and leave the shorts at home after 5pm.
Open 24 hours under Glasgow ironwork, with more than 80 stalls and satay smoke on Boon Tat Street from 7pm (3pm at weekends). Better than its tourist-trap reputation, if not the cheapest.
Little India's market, where banana-leaf meals, North Indian, Malay and Chinese vegetarian stalls sit steps apart. The food centre to choose when your group can't agree.
Tiong Bahru's old town hall, now its breakfast: chwee kueh since 1958 and three Bib Gourmand stalls. Come early and order across stalls; many are done by early afternoon.
103 stalls beside Maxwell MRT, and the famous chicken rice queue is one of them. Go mid-morning, before the CBD lunch crush, and note the whole centre shuts for cleaning on 14 December 2026.
Clear, peppery Teochew bak kut teh, with soup top-ups that arrive before you ask. The Bib Gourmand is for the New Bridge Road original, so go there rather than to the logo.
