Best Craft Beer Bars and Casual Pubs in Singapore
Guide: Taprooms, Brewpubs & Easy Pints
Singapore's relaxed drinking culture is strongest in hawker stalls, neighbourhood taprooms, local brewpubs, and serious beer bars. This route favours conversation, rotating taps, and food over velvet ropes.
- Smith Street TapsA craft-beer stall inside Chinatown Complex, Smith Street Taps keeps the format gloriously simple: strong rotating taps, hawker food nearby, plastic tables, and no design theatre.
- Orh Gao TaproomOrh Gao turns a kopitiam frame into a neighbourhood beer room, pairing regional taps with punchy Singaporean plates and the easy regulars' energy of Serene Centre.
- The Good Beer CompanyThe Good Beer Company brings a long craft-beer history to China Square, with local and regional taps, all-night happy-hour options, and food built for lingering.
- Little Island Brewing Co – Changi VillageLittle Island's Changi brewpub makes the journey worthwhile with self-pour taps, house beer, smoked meats, and a big open-air room near the Pulau Ubin ferry.
- DruggistsDruggists keeps the old Chinese Druggists Association frontage and fills the narrow room with a deep independent tap list, knowledgeable staff, and substantial bar food.
- Brewerkz Riverside PointBrewerkz is the reliable riverfront brewpub: broad house-beer flights, hearty food, sports screens, and enough space for groups beginning a Clarke Quay night.
