6 Best Izakaya Bars in Orchard for After-Office Chill-Outs
Admit it – there are times when the only proper way to end a working day is to ruminate through the day’s stresses over drinks and tiny plates of chow. This is the reason why the Orchard area is teeming with professionals even on weeknights.
Luckily, Orchard has a long list of bars and restaurants that are perfect for after-office chill-outs. Quickly dominating this list are izakaya bars that have been sprouting in this area for the past couple of years.
Izakaya bars are among Japan’s greatest gifts to Singapore. These are bars that take pride in wonderful pairings of Japanese-themed drinks and bar fare such as sake and shochu paired with an assortment of skewers.

5 Best Spas for Men in Singapore: Facials and Massages [2024]
In earlier decades, spas were almost exclusively a feminine concept. Men shied away from spas and all kinds of pampering in fear that it would make them less masculine. In the 1990s, the term “metrosexual” was coined to pertain to males who were rather particular with their grooming and pampering needs. From then on, minds have been opened, and everyone realized that both genders needed – and deserved – good TLC (tender loving care) every now and then.
It is always a great idea to pop in the spa for a jolt of rejuvenation – here are the 5 best spas for men in Singapore [updated 2024].
