CBD: ночная жизнь

A fun place to drop in for a cold beer after a busy day exploring this great city. It hasn’t been that busy but maybe I’ve been a bit early!! Friendly staff, good music & the balcony is great for people watching. 😀😀

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ At this stage, I should probably start paying rent at HOST, considering the ridiculous number of hours I've spent there. And judging by the frequency of my visits, I clearly have no intention of changing that anytime soon. Whether it's happy hour, a few drinks after work, or continuing the evening after an industry event (because apparently going straight home is an utterly unreasonable suggestion), HOST has become one of my absolute favourite spots in Singapore. The place is cosy, welcoming, and has just the right amount of character. The music is wonderfully eclectic, with something for pretty much everyone, and, praise the heavens, played at a volume that actually allows you to have a conversation without screaming your lungs out. A small miracle in Singapore's bar scene, and an increasingly important consideration for the distinguished old gentleman I'm apparently becoming. ;) But what truly makes HOST special isn't just the space, the drinks or the music. **It's the fabulous humans behind the bar and behind the scenes.** A genuinely wonderful bunch who bring warmth, humour, personality and just the right dose of mischief to the place. They have this rather brilliant ability to make everyone feel welcome, comfortable and free to be themselves. No judgment, no pretence, no attitude. Just a genuinely safe and inclusive space where everyone can relax and have a bloody good time. There's always something happening, with a fantastic variety of events that keep things interesting. I've met some genuinely lovely people here, made new friends, and spent countless evenings catching up with my favourite partners in crime. Some of those evenings are more memorable than others, naturally. The drinks may occasionally have something to do with that. What I particularly love is that HOST never feels like it's trying too hard to be the coolest place in town. It doesn't need to. **It has something far better: a genuine soul, a fantastic community, and people who actually care about the place and those who walk through its doors.** It's also dangerously easy to walk in on your own for a supposedly quick drink, get caught up in a conversation with someone you've just met, bump into half your social circle, and suddenly discover that your carefully planned early night has been postponed indefinitely. Again. At this point, I've stopped pretending to be surprised. Five stars, without the slightest hesitation. To the wonderful HOST crew, thank you for the laughter, the friendships, the questionable number of drinks and the countless brilliant evenings. And for the record, I still maintain that I'm only ever stopping by for one. Nobody believes me anymore, but I admire my own optimism. 🥂

This is really frustrating! To everyone reading this, I strongly advise you not to go to this place. Trust me, you will only end up wasting your money. The crowd is mostly older, feminine gay men, and the place itself is absolutely disgusting. It’s ugly, dirty, and looks like an old cinema infested with cockroaches. I even saw a huge rat running around in the cabin rest area! I had only been there for a few minutes. I wasn’t even there to play around; I just wanted to get some sleep. I tried to convince myself to stay since I had already paid, but the place was so unbearable that I simply couldn’t take it anymore. I approached the receptionist and politely asked if I could get at least a partial refund, considering how expensive it was for a place in such terrible condition. Instead of showing any understanding or consideration, he was rude and simply said there was nothing he could do. Honestly, this place is a complete disaster. Save your money and find somewhere better. I would never recommend this place to anyone!
