Themed bars in Singapore
These days, bars are more than just a place to drink. Good drinks alone will not suffice. A trip down to a bar is only satisfactory if it’s #instaworthy too.
We’ve compiled 9 of the most epic themed bars in Singapore that will fit right into your IG feed.
1. White Label Records & Bar
White Label Records & Bar is a record store in the day and converts into a bar at night. Its walls and shelves are lined with vinyl records from all genres, making it a great gathering venue for music buffs.
Located at Ann Siang Hill, White Label Records & Bar spins indie, rock and disco music all night long. The space also plays host to gigs by guest bands, talks and screenings.
The menu boasts cocktails, cold brews, mixes, craft beers and bar bites. For a fruity or floral twist to your alcohol, try the Vodka Fresh Fruit Mojito ($18) and Chrysanthemum Martini ($22) respectively.

2. Yin Bar & Lounge
Yin Bar & Lounge has the facade of a traditional Chinese house, with the characteristic upturned eaves on the roof corners, wooden doors and windows. This will be a great place to visit while dressed up as your favourite Yanxi Palace character during Halloween.
Unlike its traditional exterior, the bar itself is modern and chic. Think: soft velvet seats and gold-painted wall dividers, complete with marble flooring.
With an extensive alcohol menu including spirits, beer, sake, wine, champagne… whatever you’re feeling that night, they’ve got it.

Go for one of its draft beers, a bottle of wine or order the Long Island Iced Tea ($18), a mixture of gin, vodka, rum, tequila, triple sec, lime and Coke.

8. The Dragon Chamber
From the minute you open the door to The Dragon Chamber, disguised as a fridge in a kopitiam at Circular Road, you know you’re going to be in for a fun night out.
The restaurant bar serves a wide array of Chinese food and alcoholic beverages. Whether you are looking for dining or drinking options, you will not be disappointed. The wooden seats, marble tables and wooden counter with a sign that reads “Dragon Hall” enhance the Chinese secret society vibe of the place.
Fittingly, the cocktail list is jazzed up with ingredients often used in Asian kitchens. Cool down with Crazy For Coconuts ($22), a refreshing cocktail of coconut cold brew and pandan tincture, and Mojito Twist ($16), a blend of rum, passion fruit juice and five-spice syrup.

9. Koma Bar
If you haven’t managed to snap a selfie at Kyoto’s Fushimi Inari Shrine, you can now do so without leaving the country. Koma Singapore’s 20m-long entrance is inspired by the shrine’s famous torii gates.
Inside, you will find an over-the-top, 2.5m Japanese “bell” above a traditional Japanese bridge.
On top of decadent sashimi and wagyu beef at the restaurant, the bar has an impeccable array of sakes—30, to be exact. It also offers cocktails inspired by Japan, like Koma Canary ($22). This drink is a symphony of flavour profiles. Hendrick’s Gin packs a bitter punch and is contrasted by the sweet notes of the saffron syrup and the sour punch of lemon juice.

Opening hours: 5pm to 12am (Mondays to Thursdays) | 5pm to 2am (Fridays and Saturdays) | 5pm to 12am (Sundays)
