Real Customer Reviews at Tess Bar & Kitchen, Singapore:
Shaeen Marican13:45 07/28/23Haven't tried their food, so I'm only rating them on their drinks & they are so delicious! Saw many tables having meals & the food looks good. Definitely a place to come for their drinks! Will want to try their food & I love the ambience...nice place to chill even alone. Jenny Tang01:37 06/16/23We went there after read its high rating and it worth to try. Food is very nice, the pork belly is super tasty, almost the best have ever tried in Singapore. All food are in small portion, so we ordered 4 dishes for two. The only thing is the bar is not as big as showed on picture, and pretty crowded inside, you have to chat in low voices as the neighbor is less than an elbow away. No music in the weekdays so very quite inside. Maybe it'll be more music or vibrant in the weekend? Kevin Tan14:22 06/01/23The food here was incredible. I really enjoyed every single item that we ordered. We had the Caesar salad, which was a simple and perfect blend of fresh ingredients - I especially loved the touch of quail egg in the salad! The seafood stew was so delicious! There was a nice smokiness about it too and the mash of ingredients in the sauce made it extremely appetising! I couldn’t stop eating the sauce even after finishing all the seafood! But the most impressive dish for me was the oven baked bone marrow! There are some truffles, bits of meat, caramelised onions on the marrow and they pair perfectly well with the yummy bread that’s served with it! Can’t wait to come back and try more food! Definitely one of my better food experiences recently! Service and ambience were great too! Nabihah Ash18:51 04/12/23I recently visited this bottomless brunch spot and I have to say, it was one of the best experiences I've had. The cocktails were absolutely amazing and the food was delicious - I couldn't get enough! Considering the quality of the drinks and food, the price is more than worth it.I am already planning my next visit and can't wait to go back. If you're looking for a new brunch spot, this is definitely the one to check out. Highly recommend! Kenny Yap12:11 03/14/23I came with a group of 6 and as they weren’t big eaters we did not opt to have the buffet. We still ordered a few dishes to share but had each had our own mains.I probably made a very poor decision and this affected my rating. I went for the duck confit dish without reading all that much although I did a lot scrambled eggs as part of the dish. I didn’t think all that much and when I received the dish I wasn’t sure what I was having. It felt like a chicken and waffle dish but with duck. The duck while crispy on the outside was pretty dry and tough as I dug further into the meat. The waffle was extremely tough, nothing I’ve ever had and definitely not how I like my waffle. Needless to say, I felt very letdown by this which was my main. It didn’t help that my friends ordered the beef cheeks and it looked so good. I did enjoy the sides especially the pork ribs. The sauces that were provided with the sides were also unique and commendable instead of the standard tomato chilli mayo sort of condiments.The cocktails were also well priced, although the portions are small and not the most aesthetic in terms of presentation. All in all, I would still want to come back and try the buffet sometime. Acid Bar & Restaurant

Real Customer Reviews at Acid Bar & Restaurant:
Shaelyn08:50 07/23/2324 shots for $88+! got the lychee flavour, tasted good but low alcohol content. their truffle fries were crispy but felt like for the price ($18) they could’ve given more. Hin Wai Chang13:24 06/27/23Haven't been here since covid. Remarkable fusion food suffused with an indigious twist of peranakan influences. Throng of inebriated party crowds are back for the intoxicating bacchannel. Fantastic band with a whimsical charm that dazzles even the most imperturbable. deknoz8812:58 06/17/23Great place to chill and nice vibes. Food was delish and a fusion of local and western cuisines. We had the otah otah fried rice, har cheong kai soft shelled crab, watermelon pork skewer, pork tamarind kway pie tee and angel mee mushroom. This was our second visit. The food was consistent. Luv it. Kennigrace23:38 05/13/23I was not expecting food to be this good at a bar. I love their pasta, it's so flavourful!The staff are so friendly and attentive all the time. I highly recommend this spot for some drinks on a date or night out with friends.Note: children under 18 years old are not allowed Fiona Zg15:16 03/23/23Always a trusty reliable place to go for top-notch live music and great food & drinks on a fun night out. From my experience, Acid Bar brings in really great local musicians who are deserving of more attention; I've never listened to average or subpar music there in the years I've been hanging at the bar! Cocktails are strong yet yummyyyy. Food is good too, love their fusion/Asian items such as kueh pie tee and the fried rice, which comes in an ample portion. Fries were a little underwhelming, surprisingly. Prices are a wee bit on the higher side but y'know with inflation I think these price levels are fast becoming the norm...... But that's probably also a reason for the slightly older crowd (at least late 20s and above); rarely see young adults like uni kids here.Service wise, the standard recently seems to have dropped a bit. The team seems less attentive and friendly nowadays; it's harder now to get their attention to order food or drinks. Also much less chatty and less cheery (ok well, as cheery as service staff can be on stressful busy days...) than before, at least on the latest evening I went. But ok lah, not a big deal, it's not bad service after all.Anyway, the furnishing is gorgeous, lighting is dim enough for good ambience if you sit near the stage, and the acoustics are pretty good no matter where you sit in the bar. There's outdoor seating too although I have always found that too windy. The bar was only about half crowded when we went for dinner on a Sunday evening; plenty of tables available.

Michael Fauth18:39 04/24/23A lot of fun - grate time in the bar - Music and fun jcarlos create18:23 03/24/23Good place to drink with friends. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Good music and crowd. Will visit again! Don't forget to leave a tip.Also get ready for some free shots from the bar. Aloysius Chan12:17 10/25/22One of the hottest bar in Boat Quay. It is located in an alley around the last stretch of Boat Quay, in case you are looking for it along the main road. Affordable drinks and friendly staff! They offers both indoor and al fresco style. There is a private indoor bar area is dope but seems to be closed. Eugene Chakaravarthy18:37 03/13/22The best place to get yourself high and make new friends. Nostalgia. Best cocktails and nominal cost. I loved it always.Searching for this photobombed guy, did this on 2012 ! Look closely ! Great day bud 😂 Daniel02:48 04/30/21Always crowded and filled with party people, I was surprised to see one single empty table when I walked past them on St Patrick's (2021). Thought it must be reserved at first, but lo and behold, this guy waves and greets my friend and I.. Asking us if we had wanted the table. Why yes of course!Their meat platter was tender, juicy, and oh so delicious. Despite being so crowded, it was easy to get the attention of staff, they didn't miss a single order, and were always very friendly. None of that pretending I didn't see you stuff. To top it all off, free jager bombs out of nowhere added to the celebratory mood. 'nuff said. CÉ LA VI Singapore: Restaurant, SkyBar & Club Lounge

Real Customer Reviews at CÉ LA VI Singapore: Restaurant, SkyBar & Club Lounge:
Linet03:51 07/31/23We had a wonderful time at this restaurant! The fries, karaage chicken, and burger were absolutely delicious. The margarita was a delightful addition to our meal. The view from the top of Marina Bay Sands was stunning, adding a special touch to the dining experience. It's a fantastic spot to enjoy both the beautiful scenery and a delicious meal. I highly recommend this place to others! Steven Gerritsen04:17 07/23/23We were the just in time at 17:30 in the queue and got a great spot when it opened at 18:00. The service could use some improvement as we had empty glasses quiet often but our high table was also hard to reach. The manager/supervisor was very friendly though when he approached us twice to check how we were doing. Drinks were tasty, it was one of the only places we experienced where the Aperol Spritz was actually good. We got very lucky as suddenly planes and helicopters started to fly over as they were preparing for Independence Day. Definitely will be back. Ka W11:54 07/02/23Great views of Singapore and good vibes, music is not too loud, drinks are good despite low content of alcohol. I recommend coming before 7pm for the bar if you want to avoid long waits. Service is not the best. Overall pretty experience and would come back! Joy Cruz Aguilar16:42 06/22/23This is the best dining experience I ever had by far. The food and drink are good and well-plated. But that's just a bonus. The real deal in this place is the breathtaking view of Singapore. Extremely exhilarating.We specifically went to the Ce La Vi Sky Lounge and not the Skydeck Bar.I would also like to commend the warm and accommodating staff of Ce La Vi. Specially Sherry, Cherry and Craven. Thank you for assisting and taking good care of us. Till our next visit. VENRiCE 喜米10:44 06/03/23The restaurant had a great atmosphere, and the food was enjoyable. However, our dining experience was negatively affected when the waitress approached our table specifically to take our dessert order. Unfortunately, she did not inform us in advance that there was only 10 minutes left for us to stay in the restaurant. It was only after we had placed our dessert order that she informed us about the time limit. Moreover, despite the limited time remaining, she did not allow us to cancel the dessert order. As a result, we had to hurriedly finish our desserts, which significantly detracted from the overall dining experience. It's worth noting that there were plenty of empty tables available at 8:45 PM on Thursday. Alleybar

Chelsea Bruno13:16 08/07/23I love the vibe of this bar, very relaxing and romantic! Plus their drinks are bomb too! I will come back to try their food and other drinks. Xian You Lim17:08 07/31/23Lovely well decorated bar with some of the best gin cocktails, they have lots of cool gins! We ordered the Gimlet made with Four Pillars Shiraz Gin, as well as the class gin & tonic with the Four Pillars Yuzu Gin, and both were simple yet spectacular. There was a peppery gin with Szechuan pepper too. Rex Holgado07:17 06/29/23First-time VisitFood: Menu was "generally" Malaysian-Chinese, I would say. It was my first time to try Mee Angel Goreng ($24) and Otak Otak fried rice ($20), both were ok but did really taste interesting. Chicken satay ($18) was, for me, a so-so. But I will def try other food next time!Cocktails: Jungle Bird was a good starter, Hemmingway Daiquiri ($20) and Tommy's Margarita ($20) were both nice too, but will recommend bespokes Double Happiness Negroni ($25) and Manga Mai Tai ($25).Better bring a bottled water. Paid $9 for a bottle of Acqua Panna... 😬Overall Experience: 3-star comparing with other really good bars I have been (such as J&P, Papa Doble, and others). We were seated on a high chair without back rest, my back hurts like an uncle's... 😅 And watch out if you are ordering for happy hour, better check the time because they won't tell you once that's done. Chih-Ning Lee04:11 06/20/23Great place to go with a group of friends to hangout in that area. We tried all of the featured cocktails for an experience. Drinks might be slightly overpriced. Pearlyn Chua05:02 05/27/23Much has been said about the amazing signature cocktails here, but little about the food, so thought I'd fill that gap. The ayam merah (pictured) was good, served with a tasty dollop of yoghurt, and made for a good-sized portion considering it was an appetiser. The sea bass main course was sufficiently large too (especially considering fish tends to be less filling), and was served with a generous pile of coriander that complemented the Peranakan flavours well. Both were mildly spicy. The ambience was lovely too. Only docking one star because it leans pricey! ATLAS

Real Customer Reviews at ATLAS:
Isabelle Lim02:54 07/11/23Amazing ambience with gorgeous high ceiling bar. Perfect place for afternoon tea or some cocktails. Tried the high tea set and the lobster roll, and it's nothing memorable. The tea set was just average, nothing stand out. Lobster roll was fresh but doesn't have the WOW effect. Overall experience is still good as we have little expectation for the food, went more for the ambience and photo taking. YX16:18 06/30/23This place is absolutely stunning. The 4-storey high wine and liquor cabinet, adorned opulently in Greek style columns and gold trimmings, is a sight to behold. Intricately and grandiosely decorated throughout, the bar speaks art décor inspired by 1920s Europe.Despite being lavishly fitted out, Atlas is not an unwelcoming place. Dress codes are present, but the service is unpretentious and welcoming, the lighting dim and mood solemn but relaxed, and suitable for all occasions.Atlas is known for its cocktails and gin, and they certainly didn’t disappoint. Being an alcohol-focused place, the food isn’t the main attraction, nothing too over the top but tasted decent and reasonably well executed.Atlas is a bar like no other – a place that transports you out not to another country, but another universe, like in Gotham City where Batman is looking out for you somewhere. Cla P.07:18 06/27/23The ambience of the place is just fantastic. They make great cocktails as well. Highly recommend the old fashion whisky. They also gave free chips which was really yummy. Worth a visit but you only get to stay for 2 hours only. It’s hard to make reservations so if it’s last minute, try walking in early to get a table. Jenine Ellis08:26 05/31/23My wife and I had one of a most memorable afternoon here, just loving life and love! The cocktails are divine. The atmosphere and decor is second to none and the lobster roll is top-notch. Highly recommend if you want to celebrate something special or just want to spoil yourself. Isabel01:46 07/19/22The welcome mocktail and mini starter was a nice touch. The high tea also includes two drinks per person which I like. The savouries are nicer than the sweets which I was looking forward to. This was the first high tea that was so filling I could not finish. I expected better service though. It was hard to get the staff attention and my drinks were left at the bar counter for awhile before someone served me. Lin Rooftop Bar

Real Customer Reviews at Lin Rooftop Bar:
Ed Chua13:09 08/10/23Fantastic environment and great food. Service was excellent too. Highly recommend. Will be back again! Chia Pei13:35 08/01/23Great rooftop bar to chill and celebrate any occasions with your loved ones. Fantastic food and music. Exceptional customer service and great ambience. Had an amazing and blissful birthday 🎂 Prem Akella23:31 07/14/23A lovely rooftop bar in a wonderful location. Showed up there with a bunch of friends and had a great time as hours melted away. The elevated pub food paired very well with the drinks we ordered. The staff was prompt and courteous. WH T15:41 07/09/23Came here to have a few drinks with my friends. It is a nice quiet place in the middle of Tiong Bahru at the rooftop of a hotel. It is an alfresco bar with no air conditioning, but there are many fans that keep the place cool and well ventilated. The decor is great as you can see from the video. Prices are cheap during happy hour which is until 9pm but become double after happy hour. One good thing is that they don't add service charge to the bill. We came on a Thursday night and there was no crowd. Just a few tables were table. Overall, a nice place to have a drink. Dre E01:31 02/10/23Great place for nite out. Prices for me are $$.$ Love the beef steak, had them cut it up and nicely done. The fries were not as truffle-ish. The service staff was attentive. Live band.
