You say ‘teem-bre’, I say ‘tam-bre’ – it doesn’t matter how you pronounce the name of this establishment. It’s your ability to appreciate the live music that counts. Though Timbre has opened its second location while simultaneously celebrating the second anniversary of the original Armenian Street venue, Timbre’s new digs are undoubtedly more sophisticated, occupying what used to be Q Bar. The riverfront locale is breezy and picturesque, and the view of glittering Boat Quay serves as a nice backdrop for the stage. The nightly drink promotions are certainly attractive; however, on the night we went, the martini promotion came at the expense of the drink itself. Does moderately priced equal serving patrons a half-empty drink?
