Copper
This new eclectic gin bar is unlike any typical watering hole you’ve seen before. Housing the largest selection of spirits in Singapore amidst stunning Victorian-style interiors, Copper makes one feel like lingering on to explore as soon as you step in. There’s even a ladies night every Wednesday - free flow prosecco from 6pm to 9pm. It’s a rather hidden gem too - there’s no name on its signboard except a chemical moniker - CU 29, what a clever pun!

Full Pint Microbrewery
As you walk around the spanking new Parkland Green at East Coast Park, this gastrobar would definitely catch your eye. Surrounded by interesting decor and an alfresco dining area to boot, it offers not only full range of Archipelago Brewery’s beers (from SGD10 a half pint), but a vast menu of irresistible cocktails too. Ain’t this the ideal place to unwind after a long day, with the cool sea breeze ruffling against your hair?

Lepark
Did you know that Lepark was derived from the Singlish term, ‘lepak’, meaning chilling out? And chill out you will, for this rooftop bar offers comfort food and drinks with a view. Plus point - the huge space is also an event venue that features up and coming local acts. Truly Singaporean, indeed.

Sum Yi Tai
Talk about a growing trend in Asian concept establishments. Here’s one that recently popped up at Boon Tat Street. On the top floor of this three-storey old Hong Kong bar lies a private sanctuary, where an intimate setting is created specially for the after-work crowd. Savour an interesting fusion of Chinese-Cantonese tapas and cocktails, coupled with a worm’s eye view of nearby CBD towers.

Nekkid
Taking over The Naked Finn’s old premises at Gillman Barracks is Bar Nekkid, a newly opened cocktail joint that serves up savoury cocktails, tapas and local bites. Trust us when we say you’re in for a treat when you pair their house special, the orh jien (SGD6) - squid innards fried with olive oil with the highly recommended coconut and rum (SGD18).

Put aside your work because it’s time to rest, relax and recharge with a tipple in hand at these casual chill out spots in town.

When it’s time to unwind after a long day, there’s nothing quite like indulging in bespoke cocktails concocted by mixologists at various gastrobars around Singapore. In addition, the ambience of a place plays a huge part in helping one loosen up, as you sip on drinks and feast on delectable dishes these spots have to offer.

While most of them are located within the Central Business District (CBD), we’ve managed to suss out the ones away from the frenzied bustle of the city. These are the places where you can have a great night out without burning a hole in that pocket of yours.

So couple good drinks and good ambience, and there’s no reason for you not to gather a couple of your close friends to let your hair down after a hard day’s work.

Check out our top 5 picks to add to your list of watering holes in the city!
