8 new happy hours to check out in Singapore

Whether you’re getting rid of Monday blues or need a little after-work stress relief, here are the new happy hours to check out around town.

Highlander

The Scottish restaurant and bar isn’t only open until the wee hours of the morning (yes, we’re talking 6am) but they’ve got a happy hour lasting until 9pm every day. You get 50% off all draft beers, house wines, Single Malts of the month and cocktails like the craft Scottish lager and whisky cocktails like Robbie Burns with whisky, absinthe, sweet vermouth and bitters.

Lantern

The picturesque rooftop bar perched on top of Fullerton Bay Hotel has always been a hit for the gorgeous views of Marina Bay and the breezy poolside atmosphere. This time, they’ve got beers, wines and housepour spirits going for $16 on weekend evenings (3:30-7:30pm).

The Lighthouse

Views aside, Fullerton Hotel’s majestic rooftop bar does free plates of garlic focaccio, truffle frittata and salami when you order any of their cocktails. On the menu are options like The Lighthouse with Campari, gin and vermouth, as well as The Beacon with vodka, green apple and cucumber syrup and pineapple juice. And, you can get it any day of the week.

Nude Seafood

The CBD seafood-centric lunch joint jumps on the after-work happy hour bandwagon with special prices for drinks from 5-7pm daily. They’ve got a pretty select menu of craft beers like Ginga Kogen ($10) and boutique wines like Picpoul de Pinet Languedoc ($7), as well as a syrah, grenache, carignan red wine ($8).

One-Ninety

Four Seasons’ cocktail bar conceptualized by famed martini bartender Javier de las Muelas now has a Friday night happy hour. From 6-8pm, you get one-for-one craft cocktails including the popular tropical Singapore Sangria ($128/pitcher) with dragonfruit and mangosteen, as well as the signature dry martinis ($22).

Papa Shop

The craft beer stall and takeaway shop has a new daily happy hour (5-7pm) that involves draft Archipelago beers at $9 and an all-night happy hour on draft beer on Saturdays. Plus, there’s a 5% discount on beers and ciders on Saturday, too.

TAP Craft Beer Bar

The open-concept craft beer bar with 20 rotating taps and over 80 bottles of craft beer also has a happy hour. Mondays to Wednesdays from 5-8pm, you get $3 off full pints and bottles. On Thursdays to Sundays, full pints and bottles are $4 off between 12-5pm and $3 from 5-8pm.

The Quarters

Famed for the durian creme brulees, this place gets down and dirty with buckets of five Peronis during happy hour. From 5-7pm, you’ll get a free side of fries with salted egg yolk aioli when you and your buddies buy a bucket ($38). But if you’re not in the mood for beers, the cafe also pours house wines and Yamazaki whiskey.
