Customer Testimonial
I last stepped into ICB 16 years ago. Had been a regular when I was in my late 20s. Feels so good to be back! The songs still rock, the food still as good and the best part is, the vibe is still similar. Would definitely come back soon. Please remember to play Fortune Faded by Red Jpt Chilli Peppers as usual, 16 years ago!

Have heard a lot about this place but hardly come here. Nice atmosphere with the 80s / 90s music eventhough no DJ. Before covid, this one of the hot places to visit. Wagu beef is really great. Beef is tender. Nasi lemak, the rice is very fluffy. Chicken is boneless. The chilli is a bit salty. Nice place to hang aound, mingle with friends.

Back here for the first time in a couple of years, and loved it! Now 27 beer taps (I counted them) and the yakitori is great, although it can take a little while for all the items to arrive. Staff are friendly, just wave if you need service rather than using the QR code. Great to hang out for a while, have a beer and people watch!

Cool spot for creative cocktails and a chill night. The cocktails were great, with an artsy flair. View was nice looking over the field at the city and Marina Bay. Drinks are a bit steep on cost…but somewhat expected for rooftop bars. Food was good…but I would say it is more of a drink spot then dinner spot. I would definitely go back.

Still my favourite Japanese restaurant in Singapore, even after all these years. Kinki has never failed to impress me! Please do make a reservation though, as they are mostly fully booked even on a weekday. Delicious cocktails, fairly decent sake selection and of course not forgetting the amazing food with a breath taking Singapore’s Marina view. Great interior design & decor of the restaurant, there is always gonna be something to look at apart from your company (that’s for sure)!

Customer Testimonial
Another one of my The Entertainer tryouts. Loved that they had a good number of options for the 1-for1 deal (everything under “Mains’). Went for the Sweet Soy Pork Rib and they were fall off the bone delicious. Loved that they were served with sweet potato fries too, added to the sweetness of the soy glaze. Also ordered the spicy calamari to try and the pickled chili pepper that it was served with had some kick to it. Overall definitely enjoyed and will return!
