The Best Bars In Tiong Bahru Singapore

With ambient coffee shops in the day, and quirky bars at night, Tiong Bahru lives up to its reputation as Singapore’s hippest district. Formerly a housing estate area, it has been rejuvenated in recent years, bringing in locals, youngsters and tourists looking for fun and affordable nightlife.

Coq and Balls

One of the most popular bars in Tiong Bahru, this joint is sure to grab your attention with its quirky name. Coq and Balls has the fun, laid-back atmosphere that every neighborhood bar should have, with industrial-modern decor, Western comfort food, and casual drinks. They have an impressive list of craft beers, cocktails, and ciders, all of which are worth their price and are sure to make you feel right at home.

Tiong Bahru Bar

The biggest nightlife spot in Tiong Bahru, Tiong Bahru Bar (or TBB as it is affectionately known) is a huge 4000 square foot space filled with cushy armchairs, dark decor, and a chilled-out vibe. This not-trying-too-hard philosophy extends to its drinks list and menu, which are no-nonsense and straightforward. They don’t have many cocktails, but they do have a great range of beers and shots. Hit the TBB at the start of your night of clubbing, or stay all night if you’re up for a lazy night of drinking without the bustle of the average bar.

Thirsty Craft Beer Store

This craft beer store is so popular, this is their third branch in the city, right in Tiong Bahru. And it’s no wonder they are so well-loved with over 200 labels of craft beers and ciders, imported from various locations in Australia, Europe, America, and Asia; Thirsty’s is a beer lover’s heaven. As they have new products coming in all the time, you can bet on being able to try something original at Thirsty.
