There has been a flurry of bar openings in the final days of March, it seems, so you have a lot of catching up to do this week. From a fancy izakaya to a delightfully trashy booze convenience store and a bar with some solid craft beers on tap, here's where to hit.

Booze Pharma-C

Finders Keepers

With raw concrete walls, industrial shelves and neon lights highlighting each drink category, this bar/bottle shop in a Craig Road shophouse is more collegiate than cool, but we like the idea of a no-frills place like this for a low-key hangout. They stock whiskies, vodkas, sake, Champagne and red and white wines, with crowd-pleasers such as Hibiki, Grey Goose, Absolut and Johnnie Walker. Prices start at $34 for wines and $60 for spirits and highlights include Glenlivet 12 Year Old whisky ($142), Hendrick's gin ($142) and Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc ($68). The bar also serves a small selection of bites and wraps like crispy pork belly ($16), prawn paste chicken ($10) and prawn shawarma ($15).   

Freehouse

Opening on Apr 1 with a weekend party is this craft beer and cider bar on the second floor of a shophouse on Boon Tat Street. They've got 18 taps rotating exotic microbrews from around the world, plus a list of bottled beers and ciders with Asian pub grub to pair with the brews. The vibe is pretty DIY, with wooden garden furniture, raw whitewashed walls and fairy lights aross the ceilings. On tap last we checked was lots of stuff from New Zealand, like Mini-Matta Tea Leaf Pale Ale by Yeastie Boys (which we'd previously only seen bottled at The Good Beer Company) and 8Wired's Semi-Conductor Session IPA. The prices are pretty sweet for now, too, with 10oz going for $9 and 16oz for $13.

Mo'mor

A fancy new izakaya on Tanglin Road, Mo'mor is helmed by chef Martin Woo (previously at The Ritz Taipei and Hilton Singapore) and works with local butcher Swiss Butchery for its menu of fancy Euro-Japanese tapas. Try the whole charcoal-grilled Japanese squid and the grilled veal sausage with onion confit ($14) or the hamachi collar with radish ($16.90). Desserts include exotic sounding stuff like the yuzu sabayon ($14) and the lavender pudding ($13).
