There used to be a time when Happy Hour deals meant having drinks for cheaper if you arrived at the bar early. Nowadays, there are Happy Hour specials all the time, even during peak hours on Friday nights. But hey, we’re not complaining. Here, we suss out the city’s best deals for beers, wines, sakes and cocktails alike. Cheers!
 

Bugis / Bras Basah / City Hall
 

25 Degrees 

While sister venue Ginett is the place to be for wines, Hotel G’s gourmet burger restaurant 25 Degrees is perfect for that all-American burger and beer experience. Come from 3-7pm, where you’ll get 1-for-1 half pint beers and selected bar snacks every day.
 

Alchemist Beer Lab

This South Beach Avenue haunt and sister venue to Little Island Brewing Co. is a pioneer for infused beer.

The Happy Hour extends to their infused cocktails on tap too, that ranges from $12-15.
 

Alter Ego

Happy Hours happen from 6pm till closing so you can have their famed grilled cheese with your drinks after work every single day at this Esplanade bayside joint. There are G&Ts going for just $5, pints of beer at $11, 1-for-1 house whites and reds for $16, and bottled beers at only $5-6.
 

Bar Vagabond

Feel classy (and a little tipsy) as your sip on cocktails at The Vagabond Club hotel’s oriental chic bar. Meant to lure in the after work crowd, 1-for-1 drinks happen from 5-8pm every weekday. Make sure to try something from their list of Asian-inspired concoctions.

Fat Chap

Level up from your usual Happy Hours and enjoy the Happiest Hours at Fat Chap, taking place from a whopping 12pm-8pm daily, so you can feel free to leave your inhibitions at the door. House pour spirits go for $8, Stella Artois pints for $10, and from 8pm-9pm, continue on with their Premium Hour where spirits like Monkey Shoulder, Belvedere, Patron Silver and more cost just $12.
 

Loof

Come as early as you can to the rooftop of Odeon Towers, because the earlier you can skive off from the office, the cheaper the Happy Hour deal gets here. Loof's "beat the clock" concept is simple: house pours, wines and beers are $5 a pop from 5-6pm, $6 from 6-7pm and $7 from 7-8pm. Talk about being rewarded for shirking work.
 

Morganfield’s (Suntec City)

They’ve got Happy Hours going on at all their outlets, but the one at Suntec City offers the best deal with $5 pours of beers, wines and house pour spirits available from 5-7pm every weekday.
 

Tanuki Raw (Kapok)

Happening from 5-8pm daily, this popular Happy Hour offers $10 martinis and cocktails, and $12 pints. Need we say more? Yes we do: freshly-shucked oysters go for $2 each and from 5-7pm, there are free katsu-crust beef sliders with every purchase of a cocktail or mocktail. There’s an outlet at Orchard too, but the one at National Design Centre is our favorite.
 

Clarke Quay / Boat Quay / Robertson Quay
 

Chupitos

Go hard or go home, right? With over 130 shooters on the menu, this is the place to get there, fast. And from 6.30pm-9pm every day, selected shots, beers, housepours and highballs go for $6 only, so your wallet will thank you as your liver takes one for the team. 
 

Kanpai 789

Again, technically not a Happy Hour deal, but with full pints of Sapporo Premium ($6.80) and Sapporo Black ($7.80) going at prices like these, there’s no reason not to make Kanpai your default watering hole. The Japanese beer garden has two outlets, one in Robertson Walk (go to this one, it’s nicer) and another on Church Street.
 

Publico Ristorante

This restaurant and bar at the InterContinental Singapore Robertson Quay is a great riverside aperitivo spot.

With 20 rotating taps and over 80 bottles of craft beer that comes with an all-day, everyday Happy Hour, TAP is an easy go-to watering hole. Full pints (and wine) go for just $10 while 12oz beers are $8 each. They’ve got outlets at Robertson Quay and One Raffles Link, so take your pick.
 

Orchard / Somerset / Tanglin
 

Al Capone's Ristorante & Bar

Raffles Place / Tanjong Pagar / Marina Bay
 

1864

Sofitel Singapore City Centre’s fifth floor lobby lounge may already be a popular spot for their luxurious High Tea sets, but from 5pm onwards, the place turns into a full-on cocktail bar. Come between then and 7pm and enjoy their Happy Hour, where special treats and selected beers, wines and house pours go for only $12.
 

360 Lounge

Hidden on the 20th floor of Oxley Tower, smack in our CBD, this elegant lounge spot is not a place you’d expect killer $6 deals for beers and house pours Mon-Sat from 5.30pm-8.30pm. So bring the crew, find a plush corner to call your own and your night is set.
 

Beer Factory

With a name like that, you can be sure there’s plenty of beer options here. Happy Hours happen from 3-7pm for $8.80 pints of craft beers. But if you’re already there before 7pm, you get to enjoy the deal all night long. Great way to keep us drinkin there till we’re done.
 

Cin Cin

Clink to glasses of G&Ts at this gin bar found at the lobby level of Oasia Downtown. Every day from 5pm-8pm, house gin, beers and wines are two for the price of one, so come early post-work for your gin fix before having your dinner after.
 

Cook & Brew

Make every Wednesday and Friday a Cook & Brew night. The Westin Singapore’s sky-high contemporary gastrobar offers $10 nett deals on house wines, beers, spirits and classic cocktails from 5pm till closing on those two days of the week, plus live band performances from 6pm to keep things upbeat.
 

The Exchange

Those working in the CBD probably have this place bookmarked already. Their Happy Hour deal happens 9am-8pm daily, and all night long on Fridays, where bottled beers and house pour spirits go for $8.50 while wines are $12.50 a glass. There are bucket deals too, like five bottles of San Miguel going for $40.
 

Five Oriental

There are several Five bars around, but the one at Raffles Place is our fave. This place needs no introduction for its killer $5 Happy Hour promo on Kronenbourg beer, wines and house pours all day, every day. The $5 deal extends to some bites as well, so you save on food too.
 

The Guild

Some of Hong Kong’s best craft beers at Happy Hour prices? Count us in. Have a range of their brews (and their housemade G&T) on tap for just $10 from 5-7pm, Tue-Sun. You can’t go wrong with the well-balanced Classic Pale Ale, or trust us and get the refreshingly addictive Another One session ale.
 

Jekyll & Hyde

We are well aware how damaging to the wallet cocktail bars can be. This Tras Street stalwart is making it just a tad better with $5 off all drinks from 5-8pm daily. Be sure to try their signature Mr Bean, a concoction that comes with actual soy beancurd.
 

Pandora's Garden

If you're gonna be in the Ann Siang area, start your evening here with glasses of refreshing rose going 1-for-1 from 5pm-7pm daily. If you're more in the mood for something else, Aperol Spritz, Campari Spritz, Pimm’s Cup, Rose Spritzer and pints of San Miguel go for only $10, while pints of Stella Artois will set you back just $12. Had a hard day? Go for the double Tanqueray and Tonic ($16) instead.

This new Marina One spot is already an after work favorite among the nearby office crowd and we can see why. It’s an easy place for $12 pints of Asahi Super Dry and sparkling wine, as well as for $10 house whites and reds and selected drams of spirits. Make sure to come for the food too. Happy hours are from 5-9pm, Mon-Sat.
 

Standing Sushi Bar

With three different venues in town (Queen Street, Marina Bay and Raffles Place) and an unbeatable Happy Hour deal, it’s little wonder why there are always snaking queues here. There’s a different promo each day, but dinner time on Mondays and Thursdays is when there’s $3 salmon sashimi, $2 sakes and $5 beers, wines, hot sake and umeshu.
 

The Trading Floor

This one’s for all you whiskey lovers. Trade in your hard-earned cash for drams of Glen Garioch, Macallan and Nikka for $14 each till 11pm daily at this Carlton City Hotel lounge.
