Styled as a midtown Manhattan bar, The Living Room is located smack in the middle of prime Orchard Road real estate at the Marriott Hotel. Though one might not expect to see a fireplace in the tropics, there’s a (fake) one here to help you imagine you’re seeking boozy shelter from a blizzard. The interior might look a little stiff, but musical regulars like DJ Samurai help to warm up the atmosphere. Big plus: no cover charge – but do remember that the age requirements are hiked up. If you’re looking to re-enact true Big Apple behaviour, make use of the Marriott’s posh valet service. Just remember: we don’t tip here.

Living Room Bar was included in our recent One Night Stand feature.
