I list the price of a glass of wine, whether it be red or white:</p> <ol> <li><a href="https://www.hungrygowhere.com/singapore/bruno-s-pizzeria-grill/">Bruno’s Bistrot/Pizzaria & Grill</a>. $7.50, exclusive of a ‘service charge’ of 10%.

A plus maybe: bottles of wine are stored openly (that is, visibly) in a chiller for that purpose. <em>544 Serangoon Road, Singapore 218166</em></li> <li><a href="https://www.hejthere.com">Hej Kitchen & Bar</a>. ‘Happy hours’: 12 PM to 7 PM - it’s not clear to me whether these are for weekdays, weekends, or both. $8, exclusive of service charge (10%) and GST (7%). <em>180 Orchard Road, Singapore 238846</em>. <img src="https://i.imgur.com/OAGjcoN.jpg" alt="Signboard that displays the prices of alcoholic beverages during 'happy hours' at the bar Hej" title="Happy hours at the bar Hej" /></li> <li><a href="https://www.theboiler.com.sg/contact-us">The Boiler (at the structure Esplanade)</a>. ‘Happy hours’: 5.30 PM to 8.30 PM, daily maybe. $8.50, exclusive of Service Charge and GST. <em>8 Raffles Ave, #01-13A, Esplanade Mall, Singapore 039802.</em> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/m9a3hYn.jpg" alt="Information on so-called 'Happy Hour' at a restaurant called The Boiler" title="Information on Happy Hours at the restaurant The Boiler" /></li> <li><a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com.sg/Restaurant_Review-g294265-d2538704-Reviews-Steakout-Singapore.html">Steakout</a>. ‘Happy hours’: Sunday to Thursday, excluding public holidays and their eves. $2 off the regular price of wine - this works out to be approximately $10. <em>89 Victoria Street, #01-01, Victoria Hotel, Singapore 188017</em>. <img src="https://i.imgur.com/27VXANQ.jpg" alt="A sign-board upon which the prices of various alcoholic beverages are written, pertaining to so-called 'Happy Hours' at the restaurant Steakout" title="Information on 'Happy Hours' at the restaurant Steakout" /></li> </ol> </article> <aside class="related"> <h2>Related Posts</h2> <ul class="related-posts"> <li> <h3> <a href="/~rogbeer/2021/10/19/indoors/"> where to buy postcards in Singapore <small><time datetime="2021-10-19T00:00:00+00:00">19 Oct 2021</time></small> </a> </h3> </li> <li> <h3> <a href="/~rogbeer/2021/09/19/overcast/"> reading up on microfinance (including kiva.org) <small><time datetime="2021-09-19T00:00:00+00:00">19 Sep 2021</time></small> </a> </h3> </li> <li> <h3> <a href="/~rogbeer/2021/08/14/overcast/"> about Gitea, or Git, on tilde.town <small><time datetime="2021-08-14T00:00:00+00:00">14 Aug 2021</time></small> </a> </h3> </li> </ul> </aside> </main> <footer class="footer"> <small> © <a href="">~rogbeer, whoever he is</a>, <time datetime="2021-10-19T03:52:11+00:00">2021</time>.
