Looking for the perfect spot to unwind after a long workday in the civic district? Look no further! Located in the heart of downtown Singapore, Suntec City is home to a vibrant array of bars and restaurants.

Whether you’re looking to enjoy a refreshing drink with colleagues or catch up with friends over happy hour, Suntec City’s bars and restaurants have got you covered. 

From trendy alfresco spots to cosy restaurants, these offer a variety of drink options, stylish ambience and great happy deals that will make your evenings even more enjoyable. 

Read on for five spots that are perfect for grabbing a well-deserved happy-hour drink. 

1. BYD by 1826

Open: Monday to Sunday (11.30am to 10pm)

Why visit? You’d be forgiven for doing a double take when coming across the shop space for the first time. At first glance, you might think BYD by 1826 is just a car showroom, but look closer and you’ll realise that there’s also a dining space with affordable food and drink options. 

The concept is a result of a tie-up between Vantage Automotive, the distributor for BYD cars, and lifestyle group EightX Group. Happy hour or not, it’s a great spot to head to, especially if you love cars, with its unbeatable prices on drinks all day. You can snag a half-pint craft beer from just S$5. 

Price range: $$

Crowd favourites: Four-course pasta set dinner (S$18), which comes with smoked duck pie tee, house salad, black silk miso pasta, and Thai tea white chocolate; deep-fried wasabi oysters (S$28)

 

2. Cocktail Bar Dirty Blonde

Sky Garden, 03-308, 3 Temasek Boulevard
Open: Monday to Thursday (5pm to 2am), Friday (5pm to 3am), Saturday (5pm to 4am)

Why visit? Opened just last year, Dirty Blonde is a hidden Suntec City bar, located at the mall’s rooftop Sky Garden. Rooftop bars in Singapore are increasingly common, but Dirty Blonde takes it up a notch with its unique Caribbean aesthetic and live music sessions. 

Escaping there after a full day of work will make you feel like you’ve just taken a quick flight to a nearby tropical island. Dirty Blonde also sweetens the deal by offering happy hour drinks daily from 5pm to 8pm, where you can get 50% off its drinks served by the glass. 

Price range: $$

Crowd favourites: Treasure Hunt — tequila, pandan, aloe vera, lime (S$23); pork belly with carrot mousse (S$26)

3. OSG Bar + Kitchen
