For evening dinner and drinks

Tomo Tokyo

Let Tomo Tokyo gently whisk you to Japan with izakaya-style bites and sake, set against a relaxing, neutral-toned backdrop and lounge music. Relish a wide selection of seafood, sashimi, and nigiri sushi, as well as charcoal-grilled delights that are perfect for sharing.

Pro tip: Pair your sushi with a zesty Jim Beam highball – take your pick from lemon, yuzu, or grapefruit – starting at just $9 a pop.

Malayan Settlement

For a hearty, flavour-packed feast, Malayan Settlement serves up modern takes on Malay classics in a warm and charming setting. Expect playful twists like nasi lemak risotto, smoked duck lemak chilli padi, and truffle keluak beef fried rice.

Pro tip: Double the indulgence with one-for-one Shake-Mania sweet treats (from $21), from the chocolatey Koko Koma to the pandan and gula melaka-infused Ondeh One For Me.

Chou Niang Jiu Niang

Bringing traditional Chinese fermented rice desserts and drinks to our shores, China’s Chou Niang Jiu Niang sets up shop here to delight you with handcrafted, gut-friendly superfoods like osmanthus fermented rice mousse cake.

Pro tip: Enjoy 20 percent off all items when you dine in between 5pm to 7pm.

For tasty tipples with live music

Cuba Libre Café & Bar

Give in to the infectious Latin beats, tasty tapas, zesty mojitos, and the kind of dance floor that doesn’t judge your two left feet. Beyond reggaeton, Cuba Libre's resident live band also belts out top 40 hits to shake up the fiesta.

Pro tip: Whether you're a beer bro or a gin girly, make the most of its $10 Happy Hour pours from 6pm to 9pm.

Warehouse

Part gastro-bar, part live music venue, Warehouse is where you go when you want your dinner with a side of rock and roll. With local acts lighting up the stage and a menu that hits all the right notes, this is your go-to for a laidback night that can still surprise you.

Pro tip: Score Happy Hour deals for two, including two house pours (red or white) and the Spanish-style seafood dish gambas al ajillo at just $39, or two signature cocktails paired with crispy prawn paste chicken at $34. 

Harry's

Game on, even after hours. This casual bar is your go-to for catching all the late-night sporting action – whether it’s F1, football or that random rugby match you suddenly care about.

Pro tip: Nab two pints of beer for just $22 – perfect for toasting goals, groans and everything in between. 

For late-night options to continue the party

This neon-lit arcade bar sets the stage for live bands, nostalgic arcade games, pool tables, and even claw machines for prize-snatching fun. The vibe here is playful, and the drinks are top-notch – from craft cocktails to classic favourites – just what you need before your next friendly competition.

Pro tip: Don't miss Happy Hour deals between 5pm to 8pm daily, beer buckets from $50, and a massive tomahawk platter to share for only $218.

Octapas by El Mesa

Craving a cheeky supper with some Spanish flair? Octapas dishes up hot and cold tapas, chilled sangria, flavourful paella, and riverfront views that hit different after midnight. 

Pro tip: One-for-one Happy Hour deals last till 9pm, but opt for alfresco seating so you can enjoy it till 3am.

A mystical little nook where café culture meets cocktail wizardry. Expect drinks served in mini cauldrons and flamboyant live acts that turn up the heat long after the sun goes down. And when it comes to food, its South Asian Straits dishes will leave you wanting more.

Pro tip: Keep your eyes peeled for weekly specials including buy one, get one free on selected menu items.
