freddisier2 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 15 bucks before 12 and 20 bucks after that.If ur of mature type, you might enjoy Taboo more. Play is more for guys below 25 or probably below 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derryfawne Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 The title's bars but we're talking more about clubs here.Not familiar with bars, but Play & Taboo are great places to club. What's inside there? Lots of people dancing, some just sitting or standing, some drinking, some chilling on sofa, some getting a little wasted because they drink too much. Some goes home alone, some goes home with friends, some goes back with... ehem. To avoid awkwardness, best to go in a group (or at least with a friend or two) esp. if it's first time. Unless you're a natural clubber who's confident to dance in public & knows how to handle people if they make a move on you (both in the exciting and the irritating sense).

joshTWjosh Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 How much u guys spent at bar, one drink seem not enough right? You can try DYMK $30 free flow house pours on Wednesdays, Taboo $25 free flow house pours on Fridays and Saturdays (very crowded though, and you have to push your way through the queue to get drinks), or happy hour at 8 cafe (forgot how much, I think it's $38 for a bucket of beer). Alternatively you can try the special toxic drinks at Tantric. If you are not a strong drinker, and if you drink fast, 1 serving of their Blue Spin or Long Island Tea (around $16?) should be enough to get you tipsy!

Jeral Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Here's some info on the main bars around the Tanjong Pagar area. This is based on my experience so yeah, might not be 100% accurate. Anyway it's sort of the norm for people to bar hop around here, so if you don't feel comfortable in one place just try somewhere else. DYMK – Stands for Does Your Mother Know. It’s a rather chill place, quiet atmosphere but a little small so it can get packed and hard to get seats at times. Usually people go there in groups, while the soloists are the die-hard regulars. I know they have their own liquid buffet on Wednesdays but I'm not sure how much. One thing I noticed is that their staff are all hunky types lol. Well to be honest, I don’t really know much about them apart from that. Nirvana – BIASNESS alert(One guess why lol). Located where Locker Room used to be, right next to DYMK. Ok, the feel is pretty similar to DYMK, chill place with tables and chairs. More of a sitting place for gatherings and meetups. The crowd varies, you’ll see new faces most of the time with a few exceptions. Nirvana opens the earliest as compared to the rest of the bars around(5pm) with the Happy hour promos for Beers @ 2 for $14 and Wines @ $8 from 5pm-9pm daily. Recommended drink? Waterlychee Mojito! The strongest drink would be Around The World. Nowadays, Nirvana holds monthly events one of which is called La Queen where some of the local drag queens perform, sometimes with games where customers can win stuff. This is usually when Nirvana is the most packed. You can find more info on the Nirvana Facebook page. The last event was held just yesterday. (P.S. You'll probably spot me here on Fridays and Saturdays) E-Bar – The typical KTV style bar with tidbits, dice games, karaoke singing, and people watching you sing. Mainly Chinese crowd here, mix of younger and older crowds. The lady boss is super friendly and will definitely make your visit enjoyable. Tantric and May Wong – Across the road from the last 3 bars I mentioned. This is where you’ll find most of the foreign visitors(Caucasians) and their chasers. The crowd is usually friendly, sometimes overly friendly. Tantric is probably the most popular of the few, and is super packed on the weekends. They're mainly known for their strong drinks such as the Blue Spin etc. The first floor is the main area with both an outside and inside area. The outside area is open-air with a couple of benches while the inside area is the air-conditioned area. On weekends(Fri & Sat) the outside bar will be open as well. The first floor has a very club feel, dark and loud with people dancing to the blasting club music. May Wong(located on the 2nd floor) is a more relaxing place with sofa seats and an overall homey feel. If you’re looking to hook up with someone, Tantric is your best bet. Random tip: There is a smoking area behind the first floor toilet through the black door. There's no need to squeeze your way through to the front. Hope this helps!

riverrobles Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Backstage Bar does it for me , the staff are super friendly. Not that expensive, 10 bucks for a beer and 12 bucks for housepours. Put it on tab to make it convenient. I usually go alone and sit at the bar itself and talk to any stranger I can find. I like Fridays and Saturdays, sometimes its a precursor to Tantric but I detest I seldom go there now. I agree with the comments that there are many Caucasians in Backstage and are of the mature lot but that is cool with me.If you just really want to meet decent strangers , I prefer to go to these places :-) The best conversations I had (drunk or sober) was always in Backstage Bar. If you just met someone there, its like having a date but no date, no strings attached.
