BeGIN has convinced me that yes we do need more gin bars in sg. I quite like the cozy interiors and chill ambience (maybe cos we were there early and basically had the whole place to ourselves đ
). Kudos to whoever decided on the playlist this afternoon the music was đŻ
Was pleasantly surprised by the little âsmoke showâ that came with our Lavender cocktail. Taste wise, I still prefer my monkey 47 gtâŚ
If youâre a gin lover, youâll like this place and if youâre not⌠hopefully youâll become one after the experience??
PS the stairs to BeGIN is located *inside* the penny black bar. I didnât know so it took me awhile to find the place lol.
Normally not a fan of one of the many F&B places in Boat Quay area due to the large amount of tourists and also a seemingly particular crowd. However, this place is certainly a hidden gem and has it own charm away from the crowd downstairs and outside.
The happy hour is pretty good with Gin, beer and wine from $6.50++ onward. While agreeing with some of the reviews here that the G&T are pretty watered down, however, the plus point is they have a few selection of Gin brand to choose from. Perhaps they can offer patrons whom prefer a 'stronger' drink at an additional shot, also at a happy hour price, to make the deal even 'sweeter'. A good selection of cocktails too, priced from SGD25++ onward, and most at SGD25++. Although pricier, but certainly good value as the bartender does a good job in making these quite crafted cocktails.
A good selection of bar food, and very British pub style food but good quality. Tried the penny chicken aka chicken cordon bleu which tasted very well, and the thick cut fries are also very delicious.
Staff are generally friendly and helpful, particularly the lady in glasses, likely the manager whom was very warm and take good care of her customers. Chatting with her felt like chatting with a friend.
Great evening. Large Gin selection. Good value beer and wine albeit small selection but thatâs fine given your target.
Good food ( big overlap with Penny Black menu downstairs which mean solid good value meals ).
Shout out to the crew especially Steven ( Stephen ) who was 1st class with his attentive service and preemptive approach. Thanks team. Will be back.
