Bar review: Bourbon Street

17th January 2017 by Anthia Chng 1 Min Read

https://expatliving.sg/bar-review-bourbon-street/

We scour the island’s bar scene to bring you the new and the noteworthy – it’s a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it! TIM COLMAN checks out Bourbon Street on Club Street.

Bourbon Street is a watering hole you wouldn’t want to miss

First impressions:

Once it gets dark, Club Street is manic with professionals moving from bar to bar. There’s a place to cater for any mood, and Bourbon Street offers a haven for those who want a New Orleans vibe. Seating about a dozen punters comfortably, with plenty of standing room too, the bar’s stark black walls and minimalist design offer respite from Club Street’s excesses.

The Chosen One:

If your experience with bourbon is Jim Beam, you’re in for a treat. Forget the rough burn you may associate with the spirit, and order yourself a Tropical Tantrum ($18); a mixture of pineapple bourbon, hand-squeezed citrus and tiki bitters, this cocktail is a fruity and light surprise that’s perfectly suited to Singapore’s climate.

This bar stocks more than 30 varieties of bourbon

The Cheapskate:

While bourbon is the speciality here, there are plenty of other drinks available. From the tap, a pint of Hofbräu München Original Lager will only set you back $13. If you want to dive straight into the bourbon, the Jim Beam Rye (one of the brand’s better drops) is $14.

Bite on this:

It’s all about Cajun comfort food here, and for $15 you can enjoy chicken chunks on a crispy waffle covered in bourbon maple syrup. Meanwhile, the Totchos ($10), tater tots with bacon bits and nacho cheese, has something of a mac-and-cheese feel.

Last but not least:

There’s more to bourbon than mixing it with cola. Bourbon Street stocks more than 30 varieties. As well as Maker’s Mark, it has lesser-known classics like Whistle Pig and Bulleit. Speak to the staff and they’ll find you a flavour or cocktail you’ll enjoy.
