We are just a few sleeps away from 2017 and wow, what an eventful year it has been! All of us seriously deserve a pat on the back for a year of hard work and surviving life’s setbacks.
The idea of having a quiet night and catching up on sleep might sound enticing for workaholics, but you should really consider spending quality time and ushering into 2017 with your loved ones instead. You don’t have to be abroad or drunk to make it count. What matters most is the company of your closest family and friends.
Fret not if you have yet to make any plans because it isn’t too late. We have a list of 6 Stylish New Year’s Eve Parties for you to pick from.
We lost count on the number of times we have visited Bar Canary. The stunning rooftop bar is hands down our favourite rooftop bar in town to date.
This coming New Year’s Eve from 9pm till late, Bar Canary will be transformed into a tropical wonderland, where you can experience artificial snow falling onto the dance floor whilst bobbing your head to live music by DJ SoulRocka by the pool. Enjoy free entry, drinks from $15 nett, bottle deals from $98 nett and table packages at $438 nett.
Special festive concoctions (S$20++ per glass) will be launched exclusively for this special month, namely Santa’s Tiki and Elf’s Slippers. The former is a cocktail comprising cognac, don, rum shaken with tropical fruit juices and served with homemade pineapple and passionfruit ice cubes. The latter consists of icy strawberry margarita popsicles served in Midori Liqueur muddled with fresh lemon and basil leaves.
PS. Bar Canary’s cocktails never fail us.
