A laidback bar with unique decor
Categorías: Parejas, Ambiente nocturno, Fotos
Hippie-hangout ‘Going Om’ on the oh-so-cool Bali Lane is one of the few genuine dive bars in Singapore. Inspired by ‘the spirit of the Nepali mountains’, Going Om really has gone all out for the whole rough-and-ready look, with vintage looking rugs and cushions strewn over the place, exposed brickwork and plug-in fans cooling you off instead of air-con.
If you’re into the whole tree-hugging vibe, or just fancy a change of pace from Singapore’s more polished nightlife scene, Going Om presents a pretty fun and friendly option. They also have shishas, decent beer deals and hold the odd live music event, so get ready for fun night out.
