Our first experience was in June 2023, when they had just opened a couple of months prior. We went because we knew Jason was a good singer, and he was one of the singers there. The other singers, although good, probably due to the new environment, were a bit reserved. We loved the vibes and the songs, and the DJs played good music. Thus, we have gone almost every month since then.
We must compliment Fion and Wardy; their singing has improved so much over the past two years. Newer singers like Anthea and Elvis: Anthea has great vocals for a young girl, and Elvis is a great singer and entertainer. And let's not forget the great band playing for them.
Whenever we're there, we feel so at home because Fion always makes an effort to come and say hi to us and the other guests, when in fact, she is supposed to be resting. Even their staff, including Sean, Bubbles, Vincent, and some other serving staff whose names I didn't get, serve with great manners even when they are busy running about.
Keep up the good work, Tinbox!

Love the vibes, the singers, and especially the crowds gathered here who sing and dance along to the retro music and 80s mambo jambo. There's a good mix of Chinese and Cantonese songs.

Simply enjoyable to spend an evening enjoying live retro Canto/Mando pop songs with like-minded friends.
Great vibes, high ceiling, and spacious joint on Level 3. It wasn't too crowded for a midweek night.
Fabulous singers, good drinks, and yummy food. The service staff are attentive.
There are membership privileges too.
Nice! Will be back!

Recommended by a friend who shared that Simply Retro had good Cantopop.
Only Jason Chung sings Cantopop, and he is the only one who can sing. The rest are either shouting or mumbling. Very disappointing night.
Four singers, and each sang one song and then got off the stage. Each should be given a segment of 10 to 15 minutes to sing.
An overrated joint compared to others that I have been to.
Lastly, the DJ is good.

From the singers to the drinks, everything was awesome, and I had an enjoyable date night out with my wife. We have been to other live band spots, and I would say that this is one of the spots we would visit again.
The only downside was the zi char hokkien noodles; the noodles were so tough (maybe not soaked until soft prior to cooking) and too salty. One of the young Chinese staff members was also not very helpful. When I requested recommendations on the four different types of beer (served in pints), she told me, "See what you want lor." I was taken aback, as service staff typically provide basic recommendations regarding taste (strong, mild, smooth, etc.) instead of replying as such. 😂
