Tess Bar & Kitchen, Singapore

✨ Tess Bar never disappoints! Love the cozy vibes and cool crowd — perfect spot to chill and catch up with friends after a long day. 🍸 Their cocktails are seriously on point (creative, pretty, and taste amazing) and the bartenders always make you feel right at home. 💯 Food is tasty too, great for sharing while you sip. With a wide spread to choose from, there will definitely be something for every palate. With the good food, great drinks and inviting service, Tess Bar is without a doubt, one of my fave go-to bars in town! 🥂

What happens when a non-drinker hangs out with a drinker? A lot of fun, especially with the discovery of Tess Bar! I've been holding off my review to ascertain the consistency of the food and service and today, I felt compelled to write one due to the really tantalising food and drinks. I've tried just about every mocktail here and the standout for me is the Chai Melon! Sweet and tangy, it really is a palate cleanser. The pork jowl linguine was al dente enough and the accompanying sauce was amazing. So amazing that we actually scraped the plate clean! I also enjoyed the small plates and my Chicken Karaage today was excellently done. The ssamjang sauce gave the chicken an extra punch and I kept eating as it paired really well with the crispy chicken that thankfully was not doused in oil! Overall I've had a lovely dining experience at Tess Bar. Staff are attentive, quick to refill my water and ensure I have sufficient serving plates, cutlery and serviette. The overall vibe is inviting and not at all pretentious and I felt so at ease here as I was able to have a conversation without feeling like I could hear the next table. With the great food, excellent mocktails and warm service, I'm definitely bringing my friends and family here since non-drinkers will definitely not feel out of place here. A shout-out to TESS. Truly Exemplary Stuff and Staff! Keep TESSing!

Service was amazing by john. we were just chilling at the bar gossiping and letting our anger out, john approached us and started chatting with us. He was super sociable and such a great server to us it was genuinely an enjoyable experience here. cam here for drinks and to let off steam, left happy and even more than satisfied. John might just be the best server ive met in awhile.

Food is exceptional - every single dish was a hit. My personal favourite is their Oct special - Brussels sprouts with cheese. The wait staff were attentive and the ambience was great for a gathering of 5-6. I would be open to return to try other dishes.

Recommended to make a reservation beforehand as it was pretty packed. Loved the calamari, wagyu brisket rigatoni and crackling pork belly. Pan roasted cauliflower was disappointing, despite the many good reviews, it tasted one dimensional and there was nothing special about it. Their cocktails and lava cake were pretty good!

Husband brought me here on first date so we were back to reminisce the memories. Everything was perfect. Parking can be found at the next building. Food came fast. Service was prompt and helpful. We ordered bone marrow, prawns and pork jowl pasta. The pasta was my favourite dish. Happy hour of cocktail from opening till 7pm at $15 per glass. 10/10 for date night. Bill = $98

This place was bustling on a Friday at 10pm — full house! Nice vibes and food was surprisingly good! Not the run of the mill kind of bar food. The smokiness found in the small bites added depth to the taste, attesting to the attention to details here. All the food we ordered were delicious. See captions for more details. Interesting cocktails available. The wine list is ok but could perhaps benefit from a wider selection.

Celebrated my son’s graduation with a relatively large group of 9-10pax. Nice cocktails. Good food. Even though the venue was relatively compact. But we managed to reserve the large table in the front of the restaurant. Attentive service.
