Jab 1

Singaporeans do love a drink or two. Just look at the number of pubs, clubs, bistros, nightclubs, as long as the activity can go on till the wee hours in the morning, there bound to have some sort of alcohol involved.

Jab 1 is a KTV pub, located at circular road, off boat quay. It simply means that this place offer the customers a chance to sing the night away while enjoying their drinks and company at the same time. Boasting 3 floors, with about 10 tables on the first 2 floors, each table will take turns to sing their songs at the few dedicated TV screens located around the bar. Sounds cosy, but it is definitely not the place where you can just hang around the bar table enjoying solidary drink.

The common drinks are the whiskeys and brandys in Chivas Regal and Martell. Off their taps are only Heineken, drunk in small glasses, if lucky, sometimes rock glasses. It is another type of experience drinking off these mini glasses as the foam doesn't really form the head and it is drunk more like gulping down water than appreciating it. Everybody comes here for a bit of fun in singing, whether they sound nice or not, gathering, or drinking just for the sake of getting high enough for a second round at other clubs. So it doesn't really matter how beer is being drank. It's all about having fun! And did I mention that these place have some of the more beautiful and sociable waitresses around.... No wonder it is always packed!
