This 23-tap bar on gentrified Tyrwhitt Road gets its name from the Singapore Chinese Druggists Association, which it shares the building with. Opened by distributor duo, Corrine Chia and Lincoln Goh of The Drinking Partners, the interiors, mostly hand-built and put together by the pair, feature marble-topped tables, kopitiam chairs, a draft handle to pull to wash your hands, and mosaic floor tiles to get trippy over.
Beer geeks will freak out at the advanced selection of imperial stouts, IPAs and sour beers by the likes of Mikkeller, To Øl and Prairie Artisan Ales – which the Partners distribute – but there's also a more approachable range of easy-drinking pale ales and hopped lagers to ease into ($6-$11/250ml, $11-$21/500ml). For something to munch on, a small kitchen at the back dishes out snacks like coffee pork ribs ($8), sambal anchovies ($4) and Sichuan pickles ($2), all designed to pair with the pours.
