PUBLISHED April 12th, 2020 06:00 am
Happy hour at home? No problem. Liquor up your lockdown with a virtual bar by drinks giant William Grant & Sons, or show off your tipple trivia at Trouble Brewing’s quiz night. There’s lots brewing up on the arts front this week too − a global rave by pop legends, a theatrical watch party, and even a virtual design fest.
Tipple Thursday with 1887 Virtual Bar
Shake up your quaran-tini life with the coolest virtual bar in town. The spirits giant behind iconic brands like Monkey Shoulder, Glenfiddich, and Hendrick’s Gin, William Grant & Sons’ 1887 Virtual Bar will feature weekly guest shifts by Singapore’s beloved watering holes. For last week’s inaugural shift, Shin Gi Tai head bartender Sam Wong showed us how to whip up some of his signature tipples; in the coming weeks, expect familiar faces from Nutmeg & Clove, Tess Bar, and more. Our local bars are suffering thanks to COVID-19 shutdowns, so be sure to show your love by purchasing a digital cocktail − WGS will match your donation dollar-for-dollar!
1887 Virtual Bar is happening every Thursday at 8pm SGT, via Zoom. Entry is free, registration here. Purchase a digital cocktail to support your favourite bars here.
Get Your Jam On ‘Together At Home’
We might have to keep our social distance for now, but music still unites us all. A virtual concert curated by Lady Gaga and Global Citizen, One World: Together At Home brings together some of the biggest stars in our music cosmos. We’re talking Alanis Morissette, Andrea Bocelli, Billie Eilish, John Legend, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, and much more. As of now, this star-powered rave has already raised US$35 million to support COVID-19 aid efforts round the globe. Tune in for an unforgettable bash right in your bedroom.
One World: Together At Home is happening on 18 April 2020 from 8pm EDT (19 April from 8am SGT). Tune in on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and TIDAL.
