The Best Beer Bars Near Republic, by the Record

The copper brewing vats are the first thing you notice stepping out of the dedicated lift on the thirty-third floor, followed by the malty smell of an active mash. Level 33 is a microbrewery bar perched above Marina Bay, with a wraparound terrace and views that make the city look like a scale model. Office workers fill the place at lunch; evenings are quieter and considerably more vertical than most pints get brewed.

The in-house microbrewery sitting in the corner is the whole point here. Brewerkz is a sprawling beer bar and hall in the Clarke Quay chaos, with pool tables inside and fan-cooled riverside seating out front. Around forty international bottles share the menu with a weekly rotating cask ale, which is not something you stumble across often in Singapore. Food and cocktails exist, but nobody's pretending that's why you came.

A microbrewery bar in Clarke Quay where the decor seems to have taken a sharp left turn: black velvet, glitter balls, chandeliers, and silvered glass surround a large angular bar, and live bands fill the room most nights. The house brews run from lager to porter stout, with a rotating cast of guest beers alongside. The patio does respectable rattan-and-river-views if you prefer your pint al fresco.
