Responsible bar hopping might just be the latest nightlife trend. Singapore’s bar scene is packed with buzzing joints, and with so many exciting bars to check out, we want to be sure we’re having a blast while still drinking responsibly. After all, no one loves dealing with an ugly hangover after a fun night out.

This specially curated tour will take you around some of the best bars in Singapore while ensuring you stay hydrated and drink responsibly. Explore three bars each night and enjoy exclusive cocktails crafted with Pernod Ricard spirits and Perrier. There will also be bar bites, free transport vouchers, and limited-edition goodie bags. Read on to find out more.
When is the ‘Drink More Water’ Hydration Hop happening?
The Hydration Hop will be held on May 29 and May 30, from 7.30pm to 11pm each night. You may choose to attend either night, or both.
Which bars will be participating in the Hydration Hop?
On May 29, hit up trendy bars around town like White Shades. The bar’s known for exclusively serving highballs on its first floor and for its chill, alfresco rooftop space. You will also visit the spunky, modern izakaya-bar Neon Pigeon, helmed by Mario la Pietra from London’s award-winning Luggage Room Bar. And finally, the vintage apothecary-inspired themed bar Spectre.
On May 30, explore the timeless classics of Singapore’s bar scene. Step into the grand ATLAS bar at Parkview Square – crowned the 48th best bar in the world last year. Smoke & Mirrors at the National Gallery will be another stop on the night’s agenda. It was also recently named one of Time Out’s best rooftop bars globally. Lastly, stop by the Lobby Lounge at Intercontinental Singapore for cocktails inspired by the history of the Bugis and Bras Basah area.
What cocktails and food can I expect at the Hydration Hop?
On May 29, White Shades will present refreshing concoctions like Jasmine and Rose – featuring Malfy Limone gin, while Neon Pigeon will offer Ki No Bi-based tipples in Berry Mind, and the fruity Rigo-no Hana featuring Aomori apples. There’ll also be the bar’s well-loved Tokyo hummus and chicken wing karaage as snacks. At Spectre, you’ll try the Fields of Gold – a light beverage inspired by the Avengers: Endgame movie.
The special cocktails at White Shades and Neon Pigeon are available during the period of the Singapore Cocktail Takeover from May 1 to 12, but if you don’t manage to catch them in time, you can try the exclusive drinks at this Hydration Hop.
On May 30, ATLAS will serve the Calle Alcalá – a smooth and fruity clarified milk punch, together with truffle polenta and parmesan-stuffed croquettes as well as sausage rolls. Smoke & Mirrors will offer two cocktails – Sticky Fingers which is inspired by sticky date pudding, and Round & Round inspired by the polka dot trend in pop culture. Choose between two cocktails at The Lobby Lounge at Intercontinental Singapore – Summer in Marseille featuring Altos Reposado, and Sweet Convivialité featuring peanut butter-washed Martell VSOP.
Apart from food and drinks, what else can I expect at the Hydration Hop?
Participants will receive a Time Out tote bag filled with goodies from Pernod Ricard and Perrier. And in the spirit of responsible drinking, make sure to not drive after the event. Instead, our Official Transport Partner Ryde will be providing $20 Ryde vouchers for your journey home.
