The main bar front was re-clad with pre-cast concrete drain channels and a black glass top. This involved re-planning the layout to give a better flow, and developing a new image identity for the club. Takenouchi Webb were also engaged to design and renovate the adjacent 365m2 “PLAY” club within a two week period. This contrasts with more polished elements such as the marble bar top, plush leather lounge seating, timber parquet flooring and vintage pendant lighting. The overall style of the bar is a stripped-down space, with raw materials such as exposed brick walls, wired-glass and bare-bulb lighting. Behind the DJ table a shelving system was designed to display a collection of retro album covers.Īn opening was made in the wall between the bar and club and a hidden secret door added in the timber panelling that connects through to the club space at the weekends. The DJ area is located next to the lounge and fabricated from a customised trestle table with a rotating disco ball below.

The back bar display consists of a series of copper clad boxes with mirror and integrated lighting for the bottle display. The bar has a richly veined marble top and clad with reclaimed timber slats at the sides. The serving bar was located close to the entrance and built-in lounge seating added next to the courtyard window.

The entrance of the bar was from a narrow corridor, and so this space was emphasised by cladding the wall with timber panelling and customized wall lamps.

The kitchen and enclosing walls were removed to open up the space and the back wall replaced with full height steel-framed glazing onto to the small outdoor courtyard. The brief was to convert the space into a lounge/ cocktail bar that could be connected to the adjacent club next door. The 105m 2 space was formally a bar and café with half of the space taken up by an enclosed kitchen area.

Rewind bar is located in the Tanjong Pagar area of Singapore, close to Chinatown. The crowd: As you’d expect given the playlist, men are the odd ones out amid the gangs of Thonglorite party girls in it for a fun get-togethers with friends.Address: 21 Tanjong Pagar Road, Singapore Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday you can catch the same type of tunes sung live by an acoustic band (starts 8:30pm). The music: Expect serious sing-along gems from the ‘90s: think Backstreet Boys or Spice Girls. Not into cocktails? Choose from their wide selection of big bottled spirits, with Hendrick’s Gin setting you back B3,000.

Another must-try is the Old Fashioned (B390), which they give a new spin by infusing with vanilla and dried fig flavors instead of the usual sugar. Each one costs B320, but get the whole “remote” experience (all three cocktails) and it will only cost B850. The drinks: The signature cocktails play with the idea of “Pause” (a nice, refreshing mix of gin, Midori, lemon, cucumber, guava, kiwi and aloe vera), “Play” (a spiced-up blend of tequila, absinthe, brandy, lemon and rosemary) and “Fast Forward” (a very boozy combination of lime beer, Midori, Cointreau and a shot of absinthe). What am I missing From the looks of other.

Further adding to the cinematic experience, you get free bowls of popcorn from the retro popcorn-maker in the corner. I was hoping this would add a seek bar to the slide and make it so users could fast forward and rewind the video. The decor: Brick walls, mirrors, disco balls and neon lights provide the perfect photo backdrop, with moving pictures projected onto a black wall helping to make the place feel even more alive. The buzz: Hidden away down the dead-end Thonglor soi that’s also home to Black Amber, this intimate bar serves up nostalgic ‘90s-era vibes.
