There’s nothing I look forward to more than hanging out with my pals on a Friday night after a long gruelling week. Even better when there are drinks involved – it’s a surefire way of making my stress disappear.
But sometimes, the gap between Monday and Friday seems like forever and it’s impossible to wait that long; you need a drink, and you need it NOW.
To save you from drowning at work without any reprieve, here are bars with $5++ Happy Hour promos if you need an affordable booze booster to fuel you through the week.
Get your groove on, ‘cause this isn’t your typical cafe-bar; Cuba Libre features live and mixed Latin music and even opens up its dance floor for you to groove to the beat – a potential new paktor activity for you and bae to try, maybe? Singles, don’t fret; after being inspired by the Latino passion in those spirited tunes, you might just find love on the dance floor *wink*
Before you start sizzlin’ it up, get your fill of Chips & Salsa or Sweet Potato Fries, and down them with a Mojito or Rum Coke – all for $5 each.

If you’ve always wanted to try the reverse bungee at Clarke Quay, but never dared to, grab yourself a bottle of liquid courage in the form of Pure Blonde beer or house pour spirits at Bungy Bar for $5 nett right beside the G-Max Reverse Bungee.
Named for its proximity to the exhilarating thrill ride, Bungy Bar screens live sports and has local live bands performing nightly from 8.30pm and 10.30pm on Fridays and Saturdays! Perfect for that bro outing.

Harry’s at Clarke Quay is offering their signature Harry’s Premium Lager for only $5++ per half pint (U.P. $7.50++) from 5 Sep to 28 Nov. Mildly sweet and with a floral undertone, it’s gotta be good if it bears the name of one of Singapore’s most successful bar franchises.
Pair the HPL with some of the desserts on Harry’s new menu – the Adult Cheesecake Sundae ($16++) is the best of three worlds rolled into one – cheesecake, ice cream, and half a shot of Bailey’s. Ticks all the post-meal boxes for me!

One thing I’ve noticed about Privé is that its outlets are all slightly varied in design, but consistently great in terms of alfresco ambience. The newest one at Clarke Quay is no exception. Laid-back by day, it morphs into a happening spot for live music and dancing by night.
Tickle your tastebuds with their mix of Western and Asian fare like Penne with Pink Vodka Sauce ($24++) and Miso Salmon & Cold Soba ($26++), before kicking off an evening of fun with their house pour spirits and 1/2 pint beers for – you guessed it – $5++ a glass!

Fancy a burger so thick that it needs a knife stuck through it to be held together – that’s what the Double Happiness burger ($38++) from The Butchers Club Burger is. Burger lovers are probably already salivating and getting cravings while reading this.
And there’s no better way to top all that sinful goodness off than with an ice-cold house pour spirit with any mixer (excluding Redbull).
