The circuit breaker sure put a dent in the sides of most, if not all bars in Singapore. As some slowly re-open let's do our best to support them.
To get you started we have highlighted 5 bars re-emerging to kick start the local bar scene.
Rebel Rebel

Serving wines by the local winemakers from different regions, Rebel Rebel is a wine bar carrying out its own rebellion. Here you’ll find each wine defining its region and bottled in the most organic way; needless to say every sip feels crisp, delicious, refreshing. They’ll begin serving food soon, and we’re looking forward to it - for now it’s wine, bread and cheese plate for us at Rebel Rebel.

Thanks to the strong support from loyal customers, cocktail bar Jekyll & Hyde has taken up new residence at Neil Road after closing their doors on Tras Street. You will find the newly located bar on the 2nd floor of Cheeky, a cafe and restaurant. Graduating from a curation of cocktails inspired by unique Singapore flavours, the next edition menu focuses on twists of classic cocktails, while incorporating funky food ingredients found in everyday life. Discover flavours like bacon, peanut butter, bananas and exotic spices, as your taste-buds take flight through the collection of signature cocktails.

Sago House

A labour of love, quite literally because the owners of Sago House have built the interiors of the bar themselves. After a long wait, the bar is finally open and is serving amazing house concoctions. Bottled with quirky labels, all six cocktails are worth a try, but we loved their ‘Make Tiki Torches Great Again’, a mix of cucumber gin, toasted marshmallow, pineapple, passion fruit tea and citrus.

IB HQ

New location, new beginnings for IB HQ as it is now relocated to Duxton and is all set to follow the new norms. The charm of the place however is intact and the bar continues to offer a zing in flavours be it their cocktails or bar bites. We settled for their Kopi-O Negroni, a concoction of London Dry Gin, Italian Bitter, Kopi-O infused Sweet Vermouth and nibbled Croque Smoked Chicken. Good old days.

Laut

Grass, Banana, Kumquat, and Soy; the names sound familiar but their definitions will change once you taste these cocktails at Laut. Their Banana is a mix of aged Malaysian molasses, buah keluak infusion, gula jawa, and pisang berangan. Pair it with Laut’s Paddy Chicken made with local frog legs, cereal oatmeal crumbs and curry leaf butter.
