The Otherside

One of the best craft beer places in Singapore. They have two fridges full of rotating beers that are new every week, along with 6 taps. They also have a lovely outdoor rooftop which is great for groups. Highly recommend grabbing a beer here!

Hands down my favorite craft beer place in Singapore! Fun and knowledgeable staff, great selections of craft beers. chatty vibes if you sit indoor at the counter, chill and relaxing vibe if you sit the terrace!

The OTHERSIDE is a vibe. Step in and you're instantly transported to a place where classic charm gets a modern, niche twist. The beers? Absolutely out-of-this-world. We're talking mind-blowing sours, perfect hazy IPAs & every sip is a journey. But it's more than just the incredible brews; it's the killer ambience, the top-tier service, the whole magical package. This place isn't just a place to have excellent brews, it's an experience that stands alone.

Chinatown (next to Maxwell Food Court MRT / Scarlet Hotel) The place tries hard with its “mystery entrance” concept — a gimmick that’s not new anymore. You open the door, walk up a shophouse staircase, and arrive at the bar. Staff were friendly and quickly seated me at a reserved 8pm table. Unfortunately, that’s where everything went downhill. The drinks menu written on a chalk board the only menu was shockingly limited. For a place charging $16 SGD for a 330ml draft beer, I’d expect the variety and quality of a 5-star hotel bar, not a barebones list. Seating was mostly long, rickety wooden benches with no aircon — just fans — which made it feel more like a hawker centre than a premium bar. Service was another sore point: the waiter kept pestering us to order, even when drinks were already on the table. To make matters worse, we were told our reservation was capped at two hours — not exactly what you want to hear when trying to relax with friends. On top of that, some patrons were openly smoking cigars and even vaping, despite vaping being banned in Singapore. The smoke drifted into our space, making it an even less pleasant experience. Verdict: Overpriced drinks, uncomfortable setup, poor service, and disregard for Singapore’s no-vaping law. With so many great bars around Chinatown, this one isn’t worth a second visit.

A very nice atmosphere and a true hidden gem! We loved the natural wine and the lovely city view. The staff were also really friendly and fun, which made the experience even better.

Location is super near to Maxwell Station Exit 2. Service folks are friendly bunch. We didn’t had any food there cos kitchen was closed as our reservation was 8pm. Love their IPA🌻✌🏼

The Otherside is my favorite place to bring a group of buddies because the vibe is always right. The music is consistently A1 and ties the whole atmosphere together in the best way. The rooftop setting in such a beautiful part of the city makes every night there feel special. I love how they recommend new drinks in a way that feels genuine and personal, like they are actually connecting with me instead of just selling. It makes the experience that much better. Mirza is a manager I can always count on and it is always a pleasure to see him. Every visit leaves me wanting to come back again, which is exactly what a great bar should do!

Found this rather hidden rooftop bar while walking along the shophouses. Entrance was rather discreet but had this cheek-in-tongue expression telling you that there's a bar behind the door. They had a list of craft beers on tap that night, was recommended both the IPAs which turned out to be one of the best tasting craft beers I've had in a long while. And like most other rooftop bars, the vibes and atmosphere under the night sky is just really comforting and awe-inspiring. If you're looking for a place to chill and relax after a day's work, this has to be one of the top spots to go to.
