Singapore
Not much imagination went into naming this long-running boozer, set in a 1910 Peranakan shophouse complete with hanging red Chinese lanterns. Sure, it’s…

Kota Kinabalu
About as Irish as a made-in-China leprechaun, this is, however, a good spot for a bit of rock music. There's Guinness on tap, but best of all is the al…
Singapore
One thing you can be sure of here is that your beer will be ice cold – served in -3°C glasses from ice tanks, it's positively chilly. Throw in some rock…
Kota Kinabalu
KK's largest club thunders with pop, gyrating Filipino musicians and shrill teenagers, and features guest DJs nightly. It's overcrowded and cheesy, but if…
