With price hikes being the new norm in Singapore, having a meal or drink at a restaurant or bar can be tough on the wallet. However, a handful of owners are choosing to keep their menus affordable for their customers.
Says Gary Giam of 435AtHome, a family-friendly gastro bar along Race Course Road: "I'm not raising the prices of my food and drinks as I don't think it's right for us to be passing the cost on to the customer. Also, there is no GST charged when they dine here."
Over at Wiped Out Bar, a no-frills rooftop locale situated on the fourth floor of Beauty World Centre, crowds are drawn to its $8 Heineken beers on tap, and chicken nuggets and curly fries at $4 each. The hawker hangout, which opened in 2020, is even expanding with another branch at the nearby Sime Darby Centre in April.
In the Central Business District, Graft & Dagger, as well as Jekyll & Hyde along Neil Road, dole out ModSin sharing plates and craft cocktails, as well as Happy Hour deals on classic cocktails - margaritas, gin and tonics, and more at $15.
The best part about these gastro bars? You can't really go wrong with their fail-safe spread of comfort food and drinks. Plus, they offer an ambience that's perfect for casual get-togethers.
