The Bukit Timah stretch is widely known as being ‘rich man’s land’, or at least in Singapore’s context, that is. The area is home to big houses, fancy cars and bulk of Singapore’s high society.
Yet, when it comes to places to drink around the area, you’ll find just the opposite. Searching for a cosy joint to enjoy a solid pint of beer after a long day? Here is a guide to some of our favourite Bukit Timah Bars.
