If you are looking for a stiffer drink, hit the French Water (which comes with an equally stiff price of SGD25). A dry and intoxicating mixture of Grey Goose, La Quintinye Vermouth Rough, Angostura, and orange bitters, it’s the perfect prescription for a bad day at the office.
Perfect partners for happy hour selections

Fear not if you need to line your stomach. The happy hours are complemented by a respectable selection of premium bar snacks, including
Fin de Claire Oysters (SGD10 for two pieces) that are small but fresh and intense in taste, and the quintessential American appetiser of
Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail (SGD28). Not surprisingly, the standouts were the
USDA Prime Sirloin Steak Crostinis (SGD20) served medium rare on slices of toast, topped with horseradish that delivered a mild kick, and the
Classic Wolfgang Burger (SGD22) starring a flavoursome beef patty of ground Black Angus.

Prices are still at a premium notwithstanding the happy hours rates, but the combination of stylish beverages, gourmet bar bites and a vibrant neo-classical New-York style ambience — not to mention the restaurant being housed within the swanky and spanking-new
InterContinental Singapore Quay Side —makes for a good draw, especially to the office crowd in the city seeking liquid relief from the daily grind.
