Whether you’re an overworked salaryman or a university student crumbling from the stress of whatever impending deadline there is, there’s no denying that sometimes, we all need to relax and unwind. In order to fully celebrate the weekend’s arrival, or perhaps just to enjoy a midweek break, some of us just want to get smashed and forget our worries.

Yet, the price of alcohol here in Singapore might be off-putting to some (or most), and understandably we’d need to drink a lot of it. Who’s to say it’s a luxury exclusive for the rich though? There are plenty of bars and eateries hidden in different nooks and crannies offering some of the cheapest beer towers around, as long as you know where to look.

So to save you the trouble, we’ve sought out some of the cheapest Beer Towers in Singapore!

1 TYRWHITT BISTRO & BAR

They’ve got an industrial chic vibe going on, with no gimmicky frills and choosing to focus on only the food and the drinks. During their happy hour, you can expect to get a 3L Carlsberg Tower or a Kronenbourg for S$49++! While it might not be the cheapest place on this list, their variety of bites are sure to win you over.

DISTRICT 10 BAR & RESTAURANT

While District 10 Bar & Restaurant is better known for its delicious Italian cuisine (it is, after all, an extension of Bonta), there’s no better way to enjoy a beautiful plate of pizza or pasta with alcohol. Here, they offer a promotion where you can get their 3L Asahi beer tower at only S$38++! It’s available at UE Square (Sat & Sun) and Suntec (Sat) from 5pm onwards, perfect for a weekend drink with friends.

FIVE

Sure, they’re well known for their S$5 price tag on many of their items, regardless of which concept branch you go to. But here we’re talking about beer and beyond a S$5 half pint of Kronenbourg 1664 Lager that they serve, they also offer a tower of it for just S$55 dollars. If you’re looking to get smashed in style, this is for you.

FRESH FRUITS LAB – Z EDITION

For the alcoholics (or perhaps NUS students looking for a break from the monotony of their work), you’d also be glad to know they have daily beer promotions. The most bang for the buck ones being Wednesdays for students, with beer towers at only S$39 (U.P. S$49 – S$53), and Fridays with two towers going for S$89! Worth it!

Rather than the usual variety of beers found in other pubs and eateries, Inspirit House offers Stella Artois towers for just S$52 and Hoegaarden White and Rosee towers for S$50! If that wasn’t good enough, their happy hour goes on from the minute they open till 8pm, an ultimate steal.

MISS G’S GRILL & BAR

While Telok Ayer is normally the place you’d head for good food, Miss G’s Grill & Bar is perhaps one of the best places to kick off the weekend with a couple (or perhaps even more?) drinks. Here you can get S$40 beer towers, that’s right, S$40, including varieties such as San Miguel!

SLEEPING GIANTS

You might probably be thinking, none of the beer towers listed so far is quite so cheap enough. Fret not, Sleeping Giants has you covered. We mean it when we say they have the best alcohol deals—housepour towers go for S$29.90 for the first, with subsequent towers at just S$19.90.

During Happy Hours you get to enjoy even more with The Cresten Beer Towers going for S$18.90, though rest assured even off-peak hours, prices don’t ever go beyond S$40.

STICKIES BAR

The whole point of a night out is to have fun, and having to break the bank just to do so is pretty much voiding it of its purpose. Here, Stickies Bar offers seriously cheap beer towers so you don’t have to worry your head off. For just S$35 dollars, you can get a tower to go along with one of their many games, or if you have enough people, they go for 2 for S$60!

Our favourite Fresh Fruits Lab (FFL) is back at it again. They have opened a second cafe—Fresh Fruits Lab Z Edition—in Clementi just behind NUS.

The new outlet is nothing short of amazing. Just like their previous branch, they stick to the core of incorporating fruits into their menu as much as possible, being kid-friendly, and serving up absolutely delicious food at even more reasonable prices than before.

We already know what’s great at their first branch, so what is it about The Z Edition that makes it fantastic? A bouncy castle for kids during the weekends! And on top of that, there are some tweaks to the menu and here is everything we love.

From now until 30 Nov 2018, kids below 8 dine for free during weekends at Fresh Fruits Lab Z when you quote ‘ladyironchef’. Every order of a main course comes with a complimentary kid’s main (from the kids’ menu).

Calling all mommies: this is also the next brunch spot you must bring your kids to for a jolly good time!

BANGING APPETISERS

Just like before, FFL serves their signature cold-pressed juices in a small test tube for you to sample, and in an adorable beaker should you order the full-size ones (averagely S$5 per glass).

We ordered the Spam Fries (S$8) as well as the Golden Brown Chicken Wings (S$8)—both served with homemade sweet chilli sauce.

The chicken wings had a lovely crispy skin that readily soaked up sweet garlic taste of the chilli. It was well seasoned down to the bone, and juicy without being oily. The light batter coating the spam fries also had an interesting texture to it, that provided a pleasant contrast between it and the soft spam inside. Despite being deep fried, it wasn’t greasy at all.

VALUE-FOR-MONEY MAINS

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. The Classic British Fish and Chips (S$12) is our all-time favourite main at FFL.

As plain and boring as it sounds, the portion size is massive, and the fish remains firm, flaky and delicately soft, encrusted by a thin layer of white ale batter. Their homemade tartar sauce boasts a slight spice to it that made the whole dish even more enjoyable. As if the generous serving is not filling enough, it comes with a side of fruit salad and truffle fries.

Another main to try is the FFL Baked Rice (S$9). The rice is cooked in buttermilk before being baked with a layer of mozzarella cheese, and it is pleasantly cheesy without being cloying or heavy. With bacon, chicken ham and mushrooms in it, kids are bound to love this dish of baked rice for sure!

The Grilled Pork Loin (S$15) is also a chef’s recommendation. Tender, thick and juicy, each morsel was a delight in itself to eat.

Served with mashed potatoes, eggplant pesto and green zucchini, the flavours intermingled with one another to highlight and emphasize the natural sweetness of the meat. It also comes along with pesto mayo sauce and apple chutney that helped to change up the flavour profile as we ate it.

Cafes are usually not known for their steaks, but FFL’s Angus Rib Eye (S$22) is definitely worth its price. It is a genuine 250gm of Angus ribeye that’s tender and soft, with the perfect amount of chew before easily sliding down your throat.

We loved how with every chew it released more of that beef flavour we all know and love, which melded well with their brown sauce that was slightly sweeter than the typical chargrill or mushroom sauce.

We also enjoyed their Cajun Chicken (S$10), which is really a simple yet comforting roasted cajun chicken served with grilled vegetables, sweet corn and mashed potatoes.

BITE-SIZED FUN FOR THE KIDS

Just like their first branch, FFL aims to cater to the entire family. Treat your kids to deliciously adorable meals such as FFL’s Teddy The Daddy (S$8), Little Miss Koala (S$8) or Chicken Little (S$10).

Their kids’ menu is prepared with less salt, without compromising on any of the other flavours for the children to enjoy. That is, if they’re willing to cut into something so cute.

From now until 30 Nov 2018, kids below 8 dine for free during weekends at Fresh Fruits Lab Z when you quote ‘ladyironchef’. Every order of a main course comes with a complimentary kid’s main (from the kids’ menu).

They also offer cake decorating to allow your kids to have a hand at crafting their own desserts. Choose from a range of their signature and have your children’s creativity flow from the tip of their chocolate pens.

For those kids that just can’t sit still, there’s a bouncy castle out in their backyard—set up at Fresh Fruits Lab Z on weekends. Boy, won’t the kids get so excited about this!

Your kids will absolutely love the bouncy castle where they can bounce and run back and forth. Fresh Fruits Lab Z Edition is the perfect place for parents to kick back and relax with good food while their children entertain themselves.

During lunch hours from 12pm to 3pm (except on public holidays), FFL offers a set menu consisting of a drink, salad and main for only S$10.90++.

For the alcoholics, you’d also be glad to know they have daily beer promotions. The most bang for the buck ones being Wednesdays for students, with beer towers at only S$39 (U.p. S$49–53), and Fridays with two towers going for S$89! Worth it!

This post was brought to you by Fresh Fruits Lab.

It is Friday night, you’ve just booked out of what seemed to be an endless cycle of eat, sleep, torture, repeat. We all know the pains of being bald, bored and broke when you are serving the nation—at least us guys do—and nothing alleviates the misery better than a tipple or ten.

Look forward to the weekends because it is time to get your booze on with your mates but don’t fret because we are well aware that your pocket runs pretty shallow as a recruit. So here is our list of 12 cheapest drinking spots for your post-book-out hangs.
