The Beacon

The Beacon is a place where the usual party crowds should love, with the music played out everynight by their resident bands, where their name stopper is John Molina and Krueger, this place offers much more than entertainment.

The beers selection is not that fantastic though and it's not even listed on their menu. With the usual commercialized taps like Erdinger, Tiger and Guiness Draught, the rest of the choices will depend heavily on their cocktails, which we are not exactly a fan of. Be it a group gathering or just simple dating with your love ones, enjoying the fresh beers off their taps, with the bistro like atmosphere, do bring about a different experience.

Located at the revamped Marina Square, the place do brings in their usual crowds, calling for a night of pure enjoyment and fun. Though the place may seem small and packed at times, the energy of The Beacon will surely rub on anyone who is there.

On the taps: Tiger Beer, Erdinger Weisbier, Guiness Draught

Beer Market

Do I need to explain more? On their menu, your won't be able to find any beer! Why? It is because all their beers are listed on the various monitors located around the pub. Simulating a live stock exchange, the products listed on the exchange are all the beers they stocked. The prices usually varies according to the amount sold the very night. The more popular choices, the higher the price.

That is the fun part in visiting this pub. Always going for the tried and tested beers, the price are usually sky high during the peak hours from 9pm onwards. Although there are always market adjustments, The prices due to their fame, will hit sky high again in no time. Ever tried having a pint of Erdinger at $22? That is sometimes madness, but that is also how the place works.

While enjoying the variety of beers at varying prices, there's also live bands everynight to keep everyone in the mood. The bands differ everynight and almost on all days, there will surely be a song, a band, a food, or just the good ole beer to keep everyone happy.

Happy Daze Cafe

A nice cosy corner in Serangoon Gardens, away from the hustling and bustling of the town, this place is definitely a hit with the yuppies and expatriates living there or whom just happened to be nearby. It serves a wide variety of craft beers and ciders. The foam that flows through their taps includes Erdinger Weisbier, Erdinger Dunkel, Hoegaarden and Guiness Draught. With a wide variety of choices, no wonder the place is even packed even on Weekdays!

Hood Bar and Cafe

I believe that this pub has been mentioned in lots of post and articles before, therefore making it quite a legendary pub in the local scene. The one thing that makes it special, is that not only it dishes out nice cool beers, there's also live music playing every night. The live band changes every night and they are all locals. Talk about supporting the homeground talents, the peeps at Hoods' sure know how to do it best!

Basing themselves at the top level of Bugis+, they have seemed to carved out a niche market that keeps going back for enjoyment. Whenever I tried to introduce my friends there, their first reaction would be... Is there even pub there? Whenever I was there, which is usually on Fridays or Saturdays, the place can be packed to the brim even as early as 9pm.

With a nice and distinct decor and high tables mixed with bean couches, once you got a place there, I do not think why anyone would like to leave the place early. My previous trips all ended just before the place closed for the day.
