A Backpacker's Guide to Singapore

"Set within the quiet, charming Gillman Barracks, this venue features bands belting out hits from The Queen to Creedence Clearwater Revival." - Alethea Tan

Great food and fantastic bands! The Cod Fish and Chips was particularly enjoyable, and the constant drink (beer) promos help to stave off some of the heat from your pockets. Do opt to sit outdoors if you want to chit-chat with your mates, as the music/band-playing volume will overpower most conversations indoors.

Went just for some drinks. No food as we came after dinner at another restaurant. Live band was very good. Enjoy the time there.

This is hands down one of the worst bars I’ve been to in Singapore. I ordered a glass of white wine, priced at over $15, and it tasted simply awful. When I asked for a replacement, they brought another glass from the same bottle. What kind of service is that? To make things worse, the staff were rude and irritable the entire night, especially the older manager. Never coming back here again.

Great place to hang out with friends and generally family friendly. 1 of the last places with live bands playing English songs since Wala Wala announced their closure. Jack and Rai plays on Sunday evenings and they are absolutely rocking it. Reverie does Fridays and some other nights I cant recall since im always there on Fridays. They do get in guest bands occasionally such as The Catz who are pretty decent as well. Food is pretty decent for the price in terms of quantity and quality.

Have not had the chance to go to that many LIVE music places recently but Black Bird is definitely THE spot if you miss Hard Rock Cafe in the 90s. Bring back so many memories as the tunes were played… Prices are decent… Brunello for $128++

Live band and bar with food on offer as well. All contributes to strong vibes for a good time. Band when I was there was spot on.

Nice vibes for a night out with friends. My only complaint, no hot tea & coffee. But they they served me a warm cup of water and it is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Given that they're in a hard-to-reach corner of Gilman Barracks, one would hope that The Blackbird would strive to distinguish itself through the quality of its repast. But if wishes were wings, etc. Nice decor, however. Particularly liked the subwoofer stage. Liked: - Blackbird chicken wings. Decent chicken wings, to be sure; came with a Thai chili dip. Nothing special, though. - Oysters. Actually pretty good. Plump, fresh and briny. Apt, though, that the best item on the menu is the least processed dish of them all. Ambivalent - Lobster bisque. Decent, but definitely had a straight-out-of-a can vibe. Thin and salty with a kind of artificial lobster flavor. Did not like: - Margherita pizza. Did they get their pies from the frozen section of the grocery store with a CLEARANCE SALE: 90% OFF label stuck to it? Because this was basically that, but worse: the crust was so overbaked that it shattered like one of those crappy Carr's water crackers when I bit into it. - House spirit pours + tonic/soda. At normal prices, it's tantamount to charging $14 for gin-scented water.
