Let's face it. Friday Night could go either way. I'm in two camps. If you really feel the need to head straight out (I know, I've been climbing up the walls myself), here's the drill. Head to a bar in groups of 5 or less, wear masks, sanitise your hands, keep your distance from other groups and finish up before 10.30pm.
There's so much choice on the island from sophisticated, classy ambience dens offering perfectly crafted cocktails to hip and happening bars with bar food where you can down chilled beers - draft to craft, spirits, and awesome wine from every corner of the globe.

SOUTHBRIDGE
A perfect spot for a date night, Southbridge boasts of spectacular and tranquil views of the Singapore River and the skyline. They serve a selection of oysters flown from across the globe and choicest of champagnes, prosecco and craft cocktails to go with the critters. We love indulging in their gin and usually go for their Rosemary Baby made with gin & berry vodka, rosemary syrup and egg white. Amongst the oysters, our comfort zone is their Mignonette with banana shallot & sherry vinegar. Do go for their Octopus Taco, Triple Cheese Truffle Bikini, Smoked Pork Taco and Chicken Karaage with sriracha mayo. Image Credit: Southbridge Facebook Page
