If you’ve ever jokingly told your friends you want to drop everything and move to the countryside, you’re not alone. While we won’t be eloping anytime soon, The Sundowner at Siglap will offer you a taste of the peace and quiet we crave now and then.
A calming nature centre located in the East, you’ll get to spend your day enjoying wholesome workshops, a rooftop cinema, and chill lounge spots for a cocktail or two.
The Sundowner serves alcohol at its rooftop and in-house bar, Nomad’s Tent. Both offer a cosy, private space ideal for catch-ups and heart-to-hearts, without the usual noise and crowd synonymous with pubs.
With its desert-themed interior and house specials, those looking for a unique experience will enjoy the ambience at Nomad’s Tent.

The intimate space fits up to 6 people, and larger groups can opt to drink on the rooftop, which is perfect for hosting parties of up to 30 people. Do note that these private spaces need to be booked for drinking sessions.

Whether you choose to host a private drinking sesh at the tent or rooftop, a bartender will personally attend to you and whip up 2 different cocktails on the spot.
Beyond drinking, you can also book a movie screening at either location to make the most of your experience – after all, watching a good flick with a cocktail in hand sounds like a rad party idea.
A screen will be provided for the full cinematic experience, but you’ll need to bring a movie of your choice loaded onto your laptop. An Apple TV box will also be provided if you’re streaming shows off the platform.

No party is complete without snacks, and with The Sundowner’s bring-your-own-food policy, you’ll also get to dabao your favourite meals to the screening session.
