It’s almost halfway through the year, and I’m in desperate need of a vacation — but I’ve just spent all my money on concert tickets. If you can relate, you’ll be delighted to find that there’s an affordable alternative at Verandah Pool Bar & Grill (and no, it’s not a staycation!).
You know those videos of holiday-makers relaxing in pools with floating baskets of food? You’ll no longer have to travel all the way to Bali to experience that. Instead, simply head over to this rooftop bar on the 7th floor of Momentus Hotel Alexandra.
Trust me when I say that the deluxe experience starts right from the moment you exit the lift lobby — with an impressive floor to ceiling glass alcove, cascading greenery, and a swim up bar, it’s hard not to feel bougie!
The main draw of this bar is The Verandah Sundown, which’ll give you the ultimate pool dining experience. At just S$98++ for two, you’ll get a floating tray complete with six delectable bar bites and four alcoholic beverages.
Yes, you heard right — four drinks! You’ll be getting two glasses of Prosecco, house wine, or draft beer, and another two house cocktails of your choosing. Considering how expensive alcohol (and especially cocktails) is in Singapore, I’d say you’re definitely getting your money’s worth.
As for the food, you can expect dishes like fresh oysters, crabmeat remoulade in mini cones, mini sliders, ribeye steak bites, and more. All of them came in bite sizes and were pretty easy to eat in the pool, so you won’t have to worry about things getting messy — especially if you’re on a date.
The entire experience was really enjoyable, and I really felt like I was on vacation! NGL, the food tasted extra good as I lounged in the water and took in the beautiful sunset from the infinity pool.
If you’ve a larger appetite (like I do), consider ordering from their a la carte menu to enjoy poolside. Think Wagyu Beef Tartare (S$16), Charcuterie Board (from S$24), and more — plus, you can also order specialty handcrafted cocktails (S$25 each) like Sundown on Queenstown and Gillman’s Garden (my personal fav), which was an oh-so-refreshing interpretation of an apple vodka martini.
The Verandah Sundown is available from 4 to 10pm daily, and each booking is limited to two hours.
Looking for a romantic date night idea? You know where to go!
