Eat. Drink. Dance. (Repeat!): Guide to Drinking in Singapore: Bars, Hawker, Duty Free

When in Singapore, EVERYTHING IS EXPENSIVE.

A packet of tissue is at S$0.30. A 500ml bottle of water is at S1.20. A 500ml can of beer is at $5.20. A liter of vodka is at S$89 (grocery) or S$200 (bars)

There's foam coming out of my mouth as I type this.

Budget travelers may ask, "So where do I buy drinks in Singapore?"

Beer + Fireworks

DEFINITELY NOT IN BARS

Bars and clubs have ridiculous beer and cocktail prices, even at Happy Hour. Beer prices also differs depending on the time of the day. Sold by half or full pint, beer in Singapore would set you back S$7 to S$25. You might also be interested to know that Singapore bars sell bottled water for S$6. LOL.

WTF! 7 cocktails for S$77+

Clinic Bar's cocktail prices

CORNERS / STREETS

For cheap(er) drinks, get them at convenience stores like 7-Eleven for S$4 to S$9. Hawker centres may also be a good place to find cheap beers in Singapore. I saw a stall at Makansutra Glutton Bay selling 330ml Tiger at S$5 a can. Some even have a 3 for S$18 promo.

My S$5.20 beer bought at 7-Eleven

FINALLY, HEAVEN!!!

Being budget travelers, we just buy our alcohol supply at the airport Duty Free where vodka, tequila, gin, rhum, brandy, whiskey, and even beer are sold at its normal price. To prove, we bought a liter of Smirnoff vodka at duty free for S$18. But when we checked 7-Eleven, they sell the exact thing for S$89. WHA..WHY..I DON'T...I CANNOT...UNDERSTAND :|
