Tongkang Colonial Bar & Restaurant

Tongkang Bar and Restaurant is housed on Singapore’s last surviving pair of Tongkangs moored on the river at Clarke Quay. The first boat is a bar and a perfect quirky setting for sunset drinks before dinner or an evening tipple with visitors in town. The Tongkang Bar is designed for gin lovers with a huge array of gin based drinks and cocktails using Bulldog, No.209 and Blackwood’s gin.

So skip the familiar safety of a Gin & Tonic, and try a Plumdog Millionaire (Bulldog gin with Japanese plum wine and soda) and or a Gin Spice (gin, ginger, chili, mango and pineapple). For the less adventurous drinkers, there are wines and beers as well as classic martinis and mojitos – all at around S$15.

When Joel’s not partaking in one of his shameless eating sessions, he likes to think of himself as a sponge – absorbing the mysteries and beauty of our world – be it through a good book or a wacky jaunt in a foreign country.
