Lunar, Asian Fusion Bar, not Canto Bar. That was the image screaming at me when I entered. The deco was mainly influenced by the 60s Shanghai Nightlife, but with a touch of western with their random chandeliers, artistically nude paintings of women in different races and poses, sofas that popped out of Austin Powers.
They feature a few live bands every night, and their house band, The Lunar Band, sings so well they beat any local band hands down. Especially when the singer is so short, it feels like a compact power house.
On the Opening Night, they had this other band called Blackstone, the singer should be a China Chinese too but when she covered Shakira's whenever wherever, it sounded like those tracks played during the performer's resting time. Shockingly, there's no Chinese accent.
Prices of their poison are slightly higher than places like Timbre and Brewerkz, however the place might give you some CNY decoration ideas.
Sometimes, promos such as one-for-one, FOC house pours will make your time there more worthwhile.
The upper deck is strictly for VIPs, VVIP, and members only. Get your membership now to take a good look upstairs.

Big theater, good sound system, good image, above all, ENOUGH LEG ROOM for long legged freak friends of ours, Easy to find seats, lover seats available.
However as compared to GV Vivo, it loses out here and there as the theater in Vivo sounds more 'silent' than Cathay's.
Comparing GV Plaza Sing and The Cathay, GV's seats are all 'Lover's' while you have to select your lover seats in Cathay. However once secured, the lover seats in Cathay is better than GV Plaza's.
Seats are slightly more comfy than GV Plaza's.
BUT movie varieties and time slots are lesser than GV.
Overall, you may want to go there for a more different experience from the many GVs in Singapore. Just be be in THE CATHAY before.
1. AYAM BAKAR from Indonesian Cuisine, 2. Waffles from the sidestall near entrance 3. Cheap but good bread from drink store 4. Hot plate delights from Taiwanese Delights 5. Economical and Tasty NASI LEMAK from malay stall.
Just ask around, you'll be spoilt for choice.
Where can you find cheaper food than school canteens?
Recently claimed a gold medal in the Association of Brewers (AOB) World Beer Cup 2004, a global beer competition that evaluates beers from around the globe and recognizes the most outstanding beers being produced in the world today, Brewerkz is the place where you can 'chill', drink, binge on dessert, chew on sides, splurge on cock/mocktails, bet on their homebrews.
Personally I savoured the Brewerkz Brownie (L). It's warm, moderately chocolatey, with a layer of walnuts on top, and another on the bottom. The brownie looks small, but enough to fill your sugar cravings, and I have yet to mention that Vanilla Ice Cream on top of it, which didn't seem to be tasteless though the brownie was sweet too.
Sex on the Beach was a little different than others', which was supposed to be slightly sweeter for a 'pussy-drink'.
We ordered this side-dish which is like a pork satay. It only has 3 sticks, with 3 chunky pork and a stalk of asparagus on each skewer, it seemed 'stingy', but when we are done with it, it was WORTH the pinch!
The sauce that came with it tasted like terriyaki with something more exotic, speaking of which, I think I am getting the crave again.
Unfortunately Brewerkz closes earlier than most pubs and clubs there, and we have no choice but to sit outside of it. Mints are provided after meal, be sure to purchase some merchandise!
First they wrap your tired feet in warm towels... 2nd they wipe your feet clean. 3rd they put their massage cream on your feet... 4th if you are lucky you meet some who can tell you your walking posture is wrong 5th if you are luckier you get someone who tells you that you have clots in which parts of your legs. 6th they lightly pound your legs 7th they always observe your facial expression for hints on strength exertion. 8th they clean your legs of the lubricant 9th they ask if you are satisfied 10th they serve you with a glass of water.

2nd they wipe your feet clean.
3rd they put their massage cream on your feet...
4th if you are lucky you meet some who can tell you your walking posture is wrong
5th if you are luckier you get someone who tells you that you have clots in which parts of your legs.
6th they lightly pound your legs
7th they always observe your facial expression for hints on strength exertion.
8th they clean your legs of the lubricant
9th they ask if you are satisfied
10th they serve you with a glass of water.
and they're spot on.
Enough said :)
