With its Peranakan décor, great happy hour deals and relaxed vibe, this Emerald Hill drinking den – which has operated out of the same restored 1910 shophouse since it opened in 1991 – is a laid-back, unassuming watering hole for a spot of drinks without breaking the bank. Don’t expect fancy cocktails on the menu; instead, go straight for the house pours, house wines and martinis in a variety of flavours such as Choya, peach and passion fruit. The bar also offers patrons complimentary unshelled peanuts – simply sweep the shells off your table and onto the floor and someone will come around to clean them up. As for bar bites, don’t miss the prawn paste chicken wings.
