Smith Street Taps

What an unexpected find right at the quiet fringe of Chinatown Complex - SMITH STREET TAPS that has been opened for 13 years and in this hawker centre 👍🏼🫰🏼 And why won’t you chill out here after a long day’s work in their spacious, quiet verandah overlooking Smith street with their diverse choice of taps from all over the region? While the regular local beers at any coffee shop might promise consistency and pocket friendliness, nothing beats catching up with your close ones at this relaxed & casual location on the 2nd level of Chinatown Complex Hawker Centre when most of the stalls are quiet with only a Cantonese-styled Tze Char and a fried chicken stall to complement this cool chill-out joint where no reservation is needed❣️ Thank you Joel and his friendly team for the endearing recommendations 🫰🏼 Quite a good support on a quiet Monday night 🤜🏼🤛🏼

Had the Suruga Bay double IPA, great on a hot afternoon. The full pint is more value-for-money. Please note that this is a hawker stall, so there is no aircon. No tasters but v pleasant staff who are able to recommend based on your preferences. The stall location is a bit out of the way but you can refer to the directional pictures in this post; the stall unit number is #02-62. If travelling by train, access is easiest by Exit A of Chinatown MRT.

Definitely not for the faint-hearted — but perfect for those who truly appreciate a strong, characterful and unique location. Been coming to this craft beer spot since around 2018, and it’s easily one of my all-time favourites (it’s also the first craft beer that opened in a hawker center) The vibe is always laid-back but buzzing, and the staff make you feel right at home Bonus points: amazing food from all the other stalls but please come in the evening. First timers might need a bit of directions, don’t be shy abd ask

Mar 25, great selection of Craft Ales at Hawker centre prices, 14 Singapore Dollars for a full pint (not 440ml), its no flash wine bar but good beer and functional!

Ambience: nice quiet corner of smith street hawker centre Chinatown Came for good food : 80 Huathuat zichar & Shi Xiang satay super yummy Decide to give this a try Beers : interesting and delicious ( one we tried) Prices: $13-$18 in hawker centre Service: don’t expect They don’t need new business Simple question give sacarstic vs straightforward answer. Demand you return glass to stall There’s other beer on tap stall around the corner.

you can buy food by select any open hawker this tap room located in chinatown Sg one of the best taproom full of foreigner

I was excited to come here, as I have heard a lot about it. The selection of beers is great, with some collaboration beers. The prices are good (no ++ Compared to other bars) But the atmosphere was not good, it's in a hawker market - but a more empty area, with dirty tables and bad smells.

Loved this place. Small tap list but all good beers and hard find elsewhere. You get the best of both worlds here. Cracking craft beers and your choice of hawker meals from one of the hundreds of stalls in the market.

We were travelling through Singapore and were brought here by local friends. The staff here are friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the Relaxed Brew, a seasonally available brew from Alive Brewing Co. They love to talk about the various brews on offer and are quite proud of what they do. It's interesting to get a glimpse of what the future of hawker stalls might look like.

Smith Streets Taps, as others have mentioned, has a great selection of beer on tap and quite a few bottles. The best part? The hawker stalls. Come here to enjoy CHEAP food while drinking DELICIOUS brew. The service is always very friendly and the owner knows a lot about beer and great places to drink. Highly recommend!

Wow! Great find in China town. They have a load of beer on tap and in bottles. On tap from Singapore, UK, and U.S.. They face Smith street on the 2nd level. Nice breeze and food all around in the hawker stand. The owner is nice, but Ray who works there is awesome. Chat him up for his lore/ knowledge on beer. Most beers ran $13-15.

Wow. Beer o'clock fo sho. Superb selection of import beers at almost reasonable prices. Stone IPA for $11. Can you believe it! It would be amazing if there was a BBQ smokehouse hawker stall next door. But I can dream! Or order uber eats to deliver decker to the hawker center.

Located on the 2nd floor of the 335 Building in ChinaTown, Singapore, you will not stumble upon this beer bar out of coincidence! You will probably have to ask 4-5 people the location and address before you even get close to the proximity of this bar. Once you find it, you have yourself one of the top beer bars in all of Singapore. I visited Smith Street Taps on three separate occasions during my one week trip. They are constantly rotating their taps and have very friendly/helpful bartenders. There are also MANY options for food, as this bar is tucked away between food markets. If you make it here on the weekend, they have opened another location (20 meters away) that serve local Singaporean Craft Beer. The name of this is "Smith Street Taps & Friends" and you cannot miss it. I also was able to host two Bottle Shares with local friends who I met with in Copenhagen two years ago! The international craft beer scene is always friendly, inviting, and you never know who you'll see again down the road. I would venture to Smith Street Taps if you have a free night on the weekend.

Nice spot in the hawker center. They have a lot of imported beers. They had some from Australia, Hong Kong and the UK. They had a big variety. I had a pineapple sour from Australia. The beers here are a bit more pricey compared to the other beer stall, these are around S$13. It's pretty popular, lots of tourists. Worth a stop for some good beers.

Finally! Awesome beer place, knowledgeable staff. I'm finally home. This place carries even the most obscure beers, they even have Modern Times on rotation! That's like the most niche of all San Diego beers. I had a great conversation with the owner, so cool to speak beer to someone here on the island. I love the fact that this place is in he Chinatown hawker center of all places. I'll be coming back again and again since they have a rotation selection of great craft brew. Thank you Smith Street you have saved me

This place makes a Colorado guy feel right at home with a great selection of beers to choose from. They also have a gluten-reduced beer that my wife can drink who has a mild sensitivity to wheat, so that's a win too. Seriously, check this place out for quality beer on tap and excellent service as well. The satay around the corner makes for a tasty snack also.

I really wanted to have craft beer under AC. But looking at 12 perfect reviews here, it was hard to resist giving it a shot. It's not so hot at night anyway and there's plenty of seating. Bottles at the Good Beer Company, taps here. Take your pick. A 300ml glass is $13-16, the usual in Singapore. Can't help the alcohol tax. The selection is great, as amply detailed in the other reviews. Service is very fast. The biggest difference compared to a typical crafts beer place is that you're sitting in what is probably the largest hawker in Singapore with over 250 stalls. So, you can eat whatever you want, and it will cost very little, maybe a tenth of what you'd normally pay for your hipster BBQ or quinoa salad or "Mexican". Several of the stalls are well known so just google Chinatown Complex stalls before you head out, although we had no bad experiences. In the evening the queues are much better. Chilling out with great hawker food, a glass of cold craft beer in the hand, on a warm quiet night just a couple MRT stops from home, the CBD towers lit up in the distance, it's a pretty good experience and I think we'll be back often.

What is going on in the Chinatown food complex? There are two of the best places for craft beers in the country almost next to each other. This place does also have excellent selection, friendly and knowledgeable staff. They have their beers on tap (rotating selection) and prices are very reasonable to be in Singapore. As with the Good Beer Company it is a plus that one can grab cheap and mostly good food from the surrounding food stalls.

In direct proximity of the phenomenal Good Beer Company is another stand that creates a dynamic duo of drunken deliciousness. Where GBC has bottles, SST has rotating drafts, most of which are solid winners. Even in the sweltering heat, hearing a nearby stand blast chinese pop music from broken speakers, I feel transported back to Boston, if only for a moment. It's my cure for homesickness; looking forward to my next treatment.

I am so glad that I decided to come back here because this is certainly one of those places that you really have to check out if you happen to be in Singapore. If you are getting sick of being offered the standard beers, such as Tiger, or even simply paying through the nose, then make your way down to the Chinatown Complex and check this place out (though it doesn't open until about 6:00 pm). This, and it's sister the Good Beer Company, are one of those secrets of Singapore that unless you are either in the know, or simply a gun and locating things on the internet (or you simply jump on Yelp and type in bars) you would probably end up missing this place, and if you are a beer connoisseur then you will simply have to make you way back here. Where the Good Beer Company serves bottles, this place serves beers on tap, and from what I'm told, it is even rotated. Okay, you do have to put up with the fact that it is in a hawker centre, but then again those places are pretty cool in and of themselves - this place just makes them even better.

The Good Beer Company has metastasized. Apparently the owner, Daniel, was no longer able to live with the limitation of the bottle-only format, so he teamed up with Meng Chao (Brewers' Craft) and opened a second nearby stall with taps. Singapore's first draft beer-only hawker stall! I've stopped by a few times since their recent soft opening and I'm thrilled. Currently, they have 6 rotating taps with great offerings so far. I've seen Rogue, Deschutes, Hitachino Nest, and Jungle Beer. And they always keep Sapporo on tap if you want something light. The price is right. Starting at $6 for the Sapporo and going up to $12 for the craft beer. No food, of course, but it's in the Chinatown Complex, Smith Street Hawker Center so it's surrounded by excellent food stalls.

After trekking around the food court for an hour and been given directions to taps on smith, I finally found it. But it was closed. So pay attention to both the stall number and business hours!!!! But I came back at 6:30pm to enjoy there lovely fruit Saison. While worth the wait.

Drunk review! Jush kidding. Don't tell your friends about thish place. Just bring them here. Excellent beers... and they'll fill your growler too!!

Smith Street Taps is the real deal. Craft beer for the people, at a people-friendly price. Bosses Daniel and Meng Chao are very knowledgeable and the modest tap selection is tightly edited and balanced to offer something for novices and hardcore hopheads. Check out their facebook page before dropping by to see what's on tap!

All the good days and good health! Last Friday came with friends to drink beer. Comrade, who recommended us this place was there and he really liked it. How do you and I write.

Blk 335 Smith Street Chinatown Complex is massive but what really sets this place apart are the number of excellent beer stalls here. It takes awhile to go through the maze, but you are rewarded by 3 solid options, of which Smith Street Taps was my favorite. They carry a line of approximately 10 craft beers, ranging from hoppy American IPAs to German wheat beer to Japanese craft beers. Prices are at least $1-2 cheaper than at a proper restaurant or bar, so if you deal with the heat and minimal amenities, this is the place to go! Plus you can order just about anything in terms of food so that's a plus too (although I would to have some good tacos here...). My friend and I made it through half of the beers here, and our fave was the 7 hop IPA by Deschutes. The selection changes frequently so don't get too attached to a certain beer, but the line up is always interesting. The two guys running the place are super friendly and knowledgeable. Hint: take good note of the stall number unless you need the exercise. Definitely a gem and a great find in Singapore!

Smith street taps is a hidden gem in the Singapore beer scene. Taps rotate with a mixture of micro brews and old world draught beers. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly.

This is the sister stand of Good Beer Company ran by the same owner and with an amazing selection of beer on tap. They always have some really rare stuff, including some whisky barrel aged and bourbon barrel aged beer this week from the U.S., but the selection almost always has some Japanese, some German, and a mix of UK and NZ.
