East Coast Road Bars:
If you are looking for the best East Coast Road Bars and Best Katong Bars, look no further, just read on because our little Singapore Food Blog of the best bars on the East Coast Road is going to give you some recommendations of the best bars in Katong, and Siglap that reside along the 2-mile long East Coast Road Bars Strip.
It’s a morphing blog of East Coast Road bars and reviews, likely with many iterations as a lot of bars and restaurants are still sadly closing, but conversely many are also opening up.
It’s fluid, just like the beer we had to consume whilst doing our “research” for you. You’ll also get some insights into the Best cocktails in Katong, and the finest East Coast Road drinking spots.
We don’t cover: 1/ East Coast Singapore nightlife. 2/ Singapore beachfront bars. 3/ Wine bars on East Coast Road. 4/ Craft beer on East Coast. 5/ East Coast Road happy hour. But what we do do is give you a league table of the cheapest bars on the East Coast Road.
A data-driven approach to our research of East Coast Road bars
How did we collect all this insight and content for your consideration of Best Bars on the East Coast Road? Believe me, it was hard work. It involved 4 mates walking the length of the East Coast, all 2 miles of it and having a beer and a bite in every single location above.
Yes, ALL TWENTY FIVE East Coast Road bars are located along the East Coast Road from Katong Shopping Centre, at Mooloola Bar past Katong V, up to Katong Laksa, a scoot past Katong Square for TapOut, nearly at the Village Hotel Katong & Holiday Inn Express Katong now (there’s so many Katong Hotels), Brotzeit Katong opposite Awfully Chocolate Katong is about 1/3 done, maybe a pause at AliBaBar for some good Katong food, some comfort beer food like Katong chicken rice.
And we’re off again leaving behind the Katong shopping centre scene as we approach the old favourite Mel’s Place hitting about halfway now as we walk past the infamous Beach Road Prawn Mee to enjoy the delights of MadNest and Bullion Hawker on the Joo Chiat stretch of East Coast Road.
Some respite now as there is a stretch of no bars until we hit Siglap. Let’s rest those weary and wobbly legs on a short bus ride until we get to Siglap’s 1st at MaltHouse followed by 5 bars within a step of each other finishing that stretch at P.O.D., now called SANTAI.
A short walk now to hit Bar Room, The Winery and then cross the road to our final resting place and my personal favourite bar, my local, JAGS.
That is one big pub crawl we did just for you, perhaps we should copyright it…
THE EAST COAST ROAD PUB CRAWL, try it if you dare… Best Bars on the East Coast Road – WOOF!!!

JAGS at Siglap: They came, they left, they’re back! The popular watering hole for the upwardly mobile in Siglap.
Incredible personal service from the truly friendly staff and management, and some incredible food as well.
You have to try the Mac n Cheese, Chicken Tikka Pizza, Sweet Potato Fries, Sambal Squid, Roast Pork Belly & Duck-Fat Fries.
It is my favourite bar on the East Coast Road, and I am proud to call it my local.

- They pretty much operate Happy Hour all day and it is super cheap almost akin to hawker pricing including ++.
- All the food is available for delivery, just get on Grab. It really is such good food. Go for those recommendations.
Conclusions about the best bars on the East Coast Road
Taking a walk down East Coast Road, both physically and metaphorically, is one of the best ways to get a feel for Singaporean culture. Historic shophouses line the two-mile stretch, which was one of Singapore’s earliest demarcated roads, offering a beautiful scene filled with uniqueness.
To top it all off, there are several museums and businesses devoted to the Peranakan culture, also known as Straits Chinese, which has played an important part in the development of Singapore’s history and culture.
We recommend this monster pub crawl of the best bars on the East Coast Road to burn off some of the calories you’ll inevitably consume and drink when you come here. It’s also the very best way to see this beautiful part of Singapore.
There is a local saying that goes, once an Eastsider, always an Eastsider. I absolutely and totally agree with that wholeheartedly. You get 2-miles of East Coast Road’s incredible variety of delicious food and drink offerings and lively hipster atmosphere that will have you coming back for more, and more, and more…
Just don’t expect your pub crawl to be in a straight line when you get to the final few places on offer.
