After idling away with books and magazines at Borders Bookstore,
head for this swanky wine bar one floor above. Set within a wine
shop at Wheelock Place, it sets you in a cosy mellow mood with
its bold burgundy and mustard hues, drawn curtains and dim
lighting. Sip Bordeaux, enjoy the conversation amidst the decor
of handmade black candles, artefacts and paintings that are
changed every two months. If you want to buy some wine, check
out the witty labels on the bottles such as "My brother and I
share the same father but different mother". |

When you're down and out, what do you do? Brighten things up
with exciting Mexican food that exudes all the moods of salsa
rhythms, colourful bandanas and Latin beauties. This restaurant
at Riverside Point doesn't just serve the usual Tex Mex stuff
that is so ubiquitous around town, but inspired and original
creations. Tequila Prawns, Beef Tenderloin with Mole Rojo and
homemade tortillas with fresh salsa and sour cream, are some of
the true blue Mexican inspirations you can find on the menu. And
if you're a tequila fan, listen. You can choose some 100
different tequila concoctions from the bar. Doesn't all this
just brighten up dinnertime? |

Whether celebrities hold their private pink parties here or
otherwise, this is a watering hole for the fashionable and
nocturnally energetic with its weekly themed nights. There's
Mile High Club for air crew; Ladies' Night, where ladies not
only get free entry but free flow on champagne, strawberries and
vodka. Sorry guys, extra make-up and silk stockings won't fool
them. On weekends, there's extra to celebrate with Drinks Galore
night - all drinks excluding bottles are two for the price of
one. The night seems to last forever at this place where you
might just spot a famous face sipping a martini at the furthest
corner of the bar. Don't get his autograph, he should get yours.
That's the kind of attitude to have here. |

I like dropping by this bar when I feel like dressing down and
being myself. It's where you can just kick off your shoes, relax
and enjoy a drink amidst the cosy outdoor ambience. Chat the
night away with friends, gaze at the stars, watch people stroll
by, all just as casually dressed and at home in this carefree
village. Quick bits such as pizza are served. Indulge in the
large selection of beers and the two-for-one drinks during happy
hours. You somehow feel you're on holiday here. And with the
large number of expatriates sipping their brews and talking in
all kinds of accents, you could very well be. |
