    Great place to chill out. There on a friday and unXpected is playing. Had been to their performance at wala wala before. The atmosphere is good, but it will definitely be better if it is air-conditioned, as everyone know how stuffy it can be in a non-aircon place like this.

    Long queue and usually only left the seat at the bar. Please avoid too near to the tree at the bar, my bag got attacked by ants. I guess it will be worse after a rain.

    Tried their pizza, its nice. Worth my ten over bucks.

    Drinks wise, i had only some cocktails and beers. The price is quite reasonable if you really do not mind the heat.

    As for me, i can anytime pay this price and go wala wala and still enjoy the performance from UnXpected.

    The concept is ideal in a country with cool weather, but definitely not for me in singapore.

      My favourite place to hang out!

      Timbre is the place to be if I need a live band and good food. I was introduced to the place by my girlfriends and got hooked on the 1st night. The crowd that packs the place almost every night is young and mostly good looking. The band starts pretty late and while the girls and I wait with mouthfuls of pizza in anticipation, we would usually check out the cute guys.

      Die die must tries for the menu are the duck pizza, the cheese pizza and the chicken wings! I am bad at remembering the exact names on the menus but that is quite close to the names already lar! :p

      The very good bands that I’ve heard so far are the UnXpected and the Goodfellas. Go check out the schedules on Timbre’s website!

        Been to timber a few times love the fact that there is great music there and a great place for pizzas. The last time i went there made reservations through the online system which is great cos if you ever ever go timber on a friday night or during the weekend, you would know that theres always a long queue and its jam packed. Average waiting time is almost an hour which is just crazy. So do do make a reservation if you're going.

        Think their best food is still their pizza. Tried their pasta and it was quite disappointing. Their pizza has the thinnest crust but filled with great toppings. Its a standard size which cost around $16 bucks per pizza. 2 hungry people can definitely finish 1 pizza which though looks huge is actually not that filling (due to the thin crust). Not complaining though cos unlike some other famous pizza places who seems to be serving bread rather than pizza, Timbers pizza is deliciousness.

        Got to agree with the previous writer that the service is quite bad. Other than the frequent mosquitoes feeding on you, the tables are soooo small that you can't eat properly. They seem to expect you to clear the shift the plates for them too.

        One of the most irritating thing was that the bill came much before we wanted it to be and the person didn't even return our change (probably thinking that its tip for their service, or the lack of it). Was quite appalled when they did that cos usually service tips is dependent on whether we wanna give right????!! and not as if they don't charge service charges. Not a very nice experience but if you just want nice food and nice music. Heres the place to go.
