We all love happy hour, but if beers and house wine ain’t your thing, our guide to cocktail promos in the Singapore bar scene should hit the sweet spot.
Everybody loves happy hour, but we’ve all fallen prey to bland, weak drinks that barely hit the spot. We like to do the hard research for you, so hunted down the happy hour promos in the Singapore bar scene that go beyond ordinary housepours and beers: we’re talking cool cocktails including margaritas, martinis, daiquiris, sangrias, and even bar bites at of the best bars in Singapore. Now that’s what we call a happy hour…
