Eski Bar - The Sub Zero Degree Bar
Two weekends ago (I know, I didn't have the time to post it at that time), after having dinner at Molly Malone's at Circular Road, I spotted a new place across from it called Eski Bar - The Sub Zero Degree Bar.
It sounded like an interesting place, so after my meal I hopped on over to check it out. The first thing I noticed when I got there was the crazy condensation on the glass frontage and door of the bar but that didn't deter me from going in.
Immediately after stepping into the place, you will of course feel cold as it will take some time for your body to readjust itself to the new "climate." If, however, you think you cannot 'tahan' (cannot take it) then you can always opt to borrow the in-house jackets. *laugh* Just that, I'm not sure how many people have already borrowed and worn them. :-P
Anyway, the interior is kinda funky. The seating is white in colour and lighting mostly greenish.
Don't forget to check out the industrial strength air-conditioning as well whilst you are there.
And... check out the wait staff there. They're dressed like something out of a Bond film - white winter jackets with fur-trimmed hoods, knee-high white boots, white caps and they have the ever-ready blue ear muffs ready. Gotta laugh!
Also, if you're daring and adventurous enough... try the Waterfall. The next set of pictures will be the sequence of how the bartender preps the drink.
So... where to find this place? It's at 46 Circular Road behind Boat Quay.

Ok... here's a quick update of the place again. I just got back from there. One thing I noticed tonight was that the bar counter in the first room (the one you first get into immediately upon entering) is made of ice! Take a good look at it when you enter Eski. It'll be on your left.
Some people were asking how much drinks costs there... well most cocktails cost SGD15. Waterfall costs SGD30. Graveyard also costs SGD30 but it's a completely shitty drink... so don't waste your money on that. The house specialty, The Sleeping Polar Bear is SGD15.
