Bars with Great Gardens

The Toucan Irish Pub
This one’s a favorite among expats and locals for both its authentic Irish delicacies and its locality. Situated away from bustling city life, the pub evokes a folksy charm similar to actual watering-holes in Ireland. With its cozy indoor area fitted with wooden panels and furnished with faux-teak tables and chairs, the pub looks as quaintly Irish as it can get. But the real draw is in its beer garden. Here, the lush lawn, bench seating, wooden barrows and a wishing well provide that laidback vibe ideal for large gatherings with friends and family. A perfect alternative to sweaty and suffocating confined spaces.
15 Duxton Hill, 6223-5950.

Rabbit Hole
The sprawling whimsical garden of Alice in Wonderland comes to mind when you set foot in Rabbit Hole, a bar behind the much-loved White Rabbit restaurant.
