Are you a discerning beer drinker? We round up five of our favourite craft beer bars with attractive happy hour deals.
Singapore’s cocktail scene might be all the rage right now, but let’s not forget the burgeoning beer movement as well. While craft brews might cost you quite a bit more than regular ol’ lagers, these specialty bars offer some killer happy hour offers that’ll introduce you to the wonderful world of artisanal beers.
TAP
TAP is one of the first in Singapore to have 20 brews on tap, and more than 80 different craft beers and soda labels. More than enough to please all kinds of craft aficionados. Beer fiends, keep it together now; on tap are familiar names like Modern Times, Lost Coast, and Strand. Want to beat the afternoon heat? Pop by between 12pm and 5pm to enjoy $4 off your full pints, or $3 off between 5pm and 8pm. This happy hour runs daily.
