What is it? Among these spirited enclaves is Chinatown Yacht Club, founded by Daniel Van Norden, who emerged from New York City's dive bar scene.
Why we love it: It's a New York-style dive bar, dimly lit and unpretentious, transplanted into an old shophouse. Spanning three floors, the venue welcomes you with low lighting, red accents and mirrored walls on the first floor. Chinese red lanterns glow at the front door, nodding to the neighbourhood's heritage, whilst paintings by New York street artist Harif Guzman add an urban edge. The highlight is the rooftop, repurposed from an artist's studio and transformed into a double-wide urban jungle with over 50 varieties of plants and trees. It feels like a tropical garden whilst still offering sweeping views of the city below. The menu features classic cocktails inspired by onboard yacht favourites and warm-weather vibes. What truly impresses is the price, with just B290 for a glass. The must-try is moscow mule, a zesty mix of vodka, ginger and lime that feels bright and invigorating.
Time Out tip: Happy hour runs from 6pm-8pm. Order two cocktails and, as if by chance, a third appears at your table.
