2. The Beast Southern Kitchen + Bourbon Bar:
Country roads, take me home
Gather round y’all, because do we have news for you. Get hot and crispy fried chicken from the American South, all the high-quality bourbon you could ask for, and twangy country notes at The Beast, Singapore’s very first bourbon bar. The Beast is a great place for a guy’s night out, welcoming you with a huge selection of fine bourbon and a generous slice of homey Southern hospitality. Make yourself at home as you munch on Southern soul food and catch up with your mates. Kick back and enjoy live acoustic country on Fridays, or if you’re brave (read: tipsy) enough, steal the show during their open mic sessions on Thursdays.

Taste the glitz and glamour of the American Jazz Age at Monti, probably the most gorgeous jazz lounge in Singapore. This classy, chic, and sophisticated lounge is perched on the waterfront at Fullerton pavilion, luxuriously furnished with comfortable sofas and armchairs for you to sit back, soak in the smooth tracks, and enjoy the beautiful view of the Singapore river at night. If that person you’ve been trying to impress is a jazz fan, then Monti is perfect for a romantic date. With gentle jazz tunes, a sparkling riverfront, and a glittering night sky, it’ll be all too easy to fly her (or him) to the moon and play among the stars.

4. The Rooftop: Soft acoustic with a view
There are three things (in our opinion) that make a perfect weekend night: yummy bar snacks, intoxicating cocktails, and awesome music. Brand new and perched on top of the 1919 Waterboat House, The Rooftop gives you all three, and throws in gorgeous views of the CBD to boot! Take in the beautiful CBD skyline stretching from the Singapore Flyer all the way to The Fullerton Hotel, while enjoying live acoustic and jazz performances by talented musicians every Friday and Saturday. Psst: Live music with cocktails and views of the sun setting over the CBD skyline? Sounds like a great idea for a date too!
Find it at 3 Fullerton Rd, #03-01, The Waterboathouse, 049215.
