Few bars stand out for ambience like the Next Page, which is a freaky Chinese dream in an old Singaporean shophouse. Creep through the pintu pagar front door into the main room, its old walls of crumbling stucco washed in sexy Chinese red and lanterns glowing crimson in the air shaft rising above the island bar. The crowd is mainly young professionals who by late night have been known to dance on the bar (and not only on weekends). The back has a bit more space for seating, darts, and a pool table. A small snack menu is available. Open daily 3pm to 3am. Happy hour daily 3 to 9pm.
