Drinks & Nightlife
If I can, I will take you there myself. This is my home away from home. If you can find George the crazy owner then you are in for a hell of a night. Even otherwise though the staff there are young but great. They are always experimenting so ask them if they have tried out anything new they would like to share with you. For the classics get the Guarana Caipirinha or their Gin Old Fashioned made from their shrub.
The place is comfy and is one of the original speakeasies before they became a trend like everything else in Singapore.

And island that contains a huge natural reserve which is one of the few non-urban areas of Singapore. Pulau Ubin is probably the only places that looks just like it did back when Singapore got its independence in 1965. Great for bike riding, hiking or just getting to the mangroves better. The bike trail has easy as well as difficult terrains for experienced mountain bikers. You can rent bikes on the island easily. You can then finish your day off at the seafood restaurant before taking the ferry back to the mainland.
