We were there Friday night after 11 PM. We waited a long time for a table, then even longer for a waiter to take our drink order, and a significant amount of time for our drinks to be served. Please avoid this place. Service sucks! My Moscow Mule tasted like pure lime juice. This place is a joke. Please avoid it and don't waste your money here.

Chantel and Meera were the best! They provided friendly and amazing service at Yin Bar. The music was great too.
Peter Poh
Great place for a drink or coffee 🤣
Live band and soccer telecast with a great vibe.
Elvin Wee
Excellent place to chill. The bar and restaurant is located within the compound of a heritage site. It has a nice live band and a cosy atmosphere. The drinks menu is 20 pages long!
Donna Wong
The food, service, and drinks were great. The music was lovely too. Enjoyed a good Saturday evening here.

Love this place. I came over for my birthday, and the staff treated us to a free drink. The band was amazing; the drinks were heavenly. Come here to have a great time!

I would like to give a shout-out to Kayden for the world-class service I received from him. He did a great job recommending drinks to me, and he's very attentive and super friendly. I would definitely come back again. Once again, thank you, Kayden! ☺️
Joan Koo
A very nice place to chill out with friends. Kayden has done an excellent hospitality job! Will definitely come back again.
Don Boon
Came for a drink and stayed for the music. Nice little place, but as with all the places here, it's expensive. $40 Singapore dollars ($30 US dollars) for 2 beers.

Food & drinks **were** great. Managed to get a table for 2 despite not having any reservations. Served by Kayden & Ali, **both** very friendly and helpful.
Faye Kam
We had an amazing night in Yin bar. This was our first night in Singapore and what a way to start! The live band was excellent, and our server Meera was fantastic. She was so helpful and friendly, and we loved chatting to her. Would definitely come back.
Pu Li
The environment was perfect, and the singer was very good.
We tried the Whiskey Sour. Honestly, it was just so-so.
The service staff was also just so-so.
You'll need to pay an 8 SGD service charge and a 9 SGD GST.

It doesn't get more Singaporean than this: sitting in a restaurant that serves Chinese fusion food and being able to order from the Greek restaurant next door, eating hummus along with mein, baklava, and ohr nee. Food and service were also good.
Renee Alicia
Cool place with live band singing English songs! The waitress, Shin, was really helpful with our queries. We will come back again. It's a great place to chill!
Drew Lu
Cool courtyard bar with live music and a view of the river. Good place to hang out for a few drinks. The drink options are quite extensive, and the cocktails are decent.
I recommend working this place into your pub crawl stops. It's not really a place to spend the entire night.
