B.B.’s The Bungy Bar
Located right next to the G-Max Reverse Bungy, B.B.’s offers a great view of the hell-raising ride. Despite all the adrenaline from those G’s, the open, alfresco bar has a laidback vibe.

Boomarang Bistro & Bar
The laidback Australian bar from Robertson Quay has a new outpost on Circular Road, which opened its doors just a few months back. A favorite with Aussie expats, the bar is also popular with sports nuts, thanks to its multiple flat-screen TVs.

Wave House Sentosa
There’s no lack of activities at Wave House—there seems to always be a DJ spinning, a slew of schoolies on the FlowRider and a bevvy of pros on the FlowBarrel. There is an indoor restaurant, but you can also order tapas, sandwiches and pizzas from the beach bar, and then hit the waves again.
