    Good variety of food to choose from. Cosy place and polite staff. Huge selections of crafted beers and wines. Parking spaces available at I12.

    The spicy drunken Thai noodles were great and a dark German beer to cool them off! Sidewalk cafe and people watching on the corner of Joo Chiat/East Coast Rd.

    It houses difference stores that sell western, Thai, local delight like hokkien noodles. Ordered the spicy chicken burger which very spicy, I like spicy food. The portion is near to twice the size of Mac big Mac burger. The price is $14.

    Quite a nice place to chill with a cold pint and do some people watching. Plenty of beer grub and cheap eats. Bar prices are really affordable too. Only gribe is it can get really crowded. Oh that and no parking.

    My favourite place to sit outdoor in the evening for drinks, good hokkien mee and people watching. Wine is decent, great prices, members get 10% discount off liquor, nice vibes, staffs are always friendly and the hokkien mee is amazing! Tomyum fried rice was excellent too.

    Good food selection so everybody in the group can find something for their taste, liked the vibe! This place used to have vide beer selection, now they just have the same old draft beers and few more interesting bottles beer selections. The saddest thing that they just want to sell out old beer with promotion, probably which is already out of date by scratching β€œbest till” date.

    Good selection of beer. The food stalls serve good food, and the place has a good vibe. Outdoor seating is the best for people watching. The breakfast is really bad, and don't bother trying it out.

    Yeah to be honest, I really like this kind of conceptual f&b business along this estate. Put it simply: 1. Easily seen location, right at corner of joo chiat rd and opposite katong i12 mall 2. Park opposite i12 and cross over 3. Opens daily and closes 1130pm or 1230mn (on fri/sat), means if you crave for supper you know where to fall back on 4. Variety of chinese local, thai, western cuisines. Not super variety but hey good enough for passerbys to drop by and try. Hokkien mee, char kway tiao, spicy chicken burgers, pad thai.. etc 5. Variety of drinks too - beers 🍻, traditional coffee β˜•οΈ 🍡 or fruit juices. 6. Affordable spending even for average income (maybe $8 - 15) depends what you order. We know this area estate is quite atas and usually where expats hang out. Yo it totally has local "feels"

    Was at Alibabar's last night, was rainy but felt cozy. Ordered koftas from Pete's grill. Would recommend to have the chicken, then beef and lastly lamb, because the intensity of the taste increases with each meat. The hummus is a must have. The draft beers were not bad and they have a great selection of Belgium bottles. Overall had a great time πŸ‘

    An upmarket hawker bar. Came here for the fried prawn noodles and couldn't find it at first because we thought they have move! This place doesn't look like a coffeeshop or hawker stall at All. We thought it's a drinking place or hip cafe. Many food selections inside, but getting a seat is difficult for diners, especially those with family. most seats are taken by drinkers who spend their night there. Recommended to separate the drinkers and diners. They have a strict Outside food not allowed policy. Staff will help to clear tables, didn't see any return tray station

    Located at the start of joo chiat street. We really liked this place and its vibe especially in the evening. Their craft beers are really nice and they have a happy hour promos One for One. We ordered Veg Nachos, Nachos were nice and crispy but I wish they had chicken Nachos on the menu. They are good to have along with your drinks. For Mains we ordered Thai Basil Chicken and Omelette. Both were decent dishes, Omelette was really nice and fluffy should order next time.

    A good place to enjoy different style hawker food. Hamburger, hummus, beer, sweet pancake ….. (Pancake is not good though….)

    It’s kind of a Eurasian place with mix of hawker and Western food influences. There’s selection of Mediterranean food, Mexican and Thai food with gourmet burgers, drinks and possibly viewing sports on the right day. The stalls are self service and drinks are served on table by the always attentive servers. Hummus and Kebabs with rice (loved the rice) options are really good. Burgers are alright (don’t like the bun, meat is good) with a vegetarian option (sweet potato patty), which was interesting in a good way. A lot of other options for vegetarians as well. Tacos are definitely a must try.

    All the stalls are great. Gonna miss Yong Huat when they retire. IMHO, the best Hokkien Mee in Singapore.

  • 1/5 S r. 3 years ago on Google
    Terrible experience waiting for a table. A confusion happened last evening with 2 guys/waiters attending to separate customers verbally 'marking' the same table for us and another group. The other guy who apparently promised the table to another customer started yelling at us and shoving his hands in our face upset that we were about to take the table first. There is a line of decency that should not be crossed especially with regular patrons to the restaurant.

    I had a vegetarian falafel wrap ($12) at ~10pm at night. It was delicious! The falafel were soft and the garlic sauce was rich and flavourful! A little bit on the pricey side but a really good wrap :)

    Tried a burger from the burger stall, kebabs from the Turkish one, and their craft beers. All were great and they have a nice selection of craft beers. This place is set up like a food court and is a relatively cheap option in the otherwise pricey East Coast dining belt.

    Rating for the Hokkien mee $6 and the very value local iced americano (ie kopi o sd peng) at $2. Great location and love that they do try to keep the price affordable (Esp for the area). Also the seats outdoors are pet friendly albeit are high tables.

    Not the usual kind of bar you go to. Its a hawker bar but more like a coffee shop bar. You still order your food at their individual food stalls even though they had their menus on the table for you to look at. The waiters are only available to order drinks. Tried the Japanese sake on promotion which was better than expected. Alightly sweet so would be good for beginners to try. The food are ok.

    Really great place for a drink! Nice selection of beer and wine. When we were there, there was this waiter named Sachin who is very helpful and provided great service. Very patient guy as we took quite a while choosing wine. He even recommended us some wine that was not even on the menu yet. Would definitely go again!

    Kind of a blend between a bar and coffee shop. There wasn't any air-conditioning when I was there. Only tried the char kway teow so far, it was so-so. The alcohol selection and prices seem fine though

    Obviously a hidden gem in Katong area, didn't expect it to be a bar and yet it serves some good quality Belgian beer 🍺 there. Definitely will come back for more.

    Thai you up has the best thai basil rice i've ever had tbh. my colleagues and i are regulars there. i recommend getting the thai basil chicken with 2 eggs and the spring rolls. the staff are also very accomodating to our specific orders

  • 4/5 Tan Jun S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very toight coffeeshop, very crowded. Hard to navigate, demands very nimble legs and feet, ESPECIALLY if you're sitting outside. The rain shelter ramp will obstruct the tall fellas from sitting outside, sorry if you are one. But the food makes up for it. The Hokkien Mee stall is very generous with their roasted pork for an $8 platter. The drinks are surprisingly similar to that of what you would find at your neighbourhood (provided you not living in Katong ah).

  • 4/5 Chew C. 2 years ago on Google
    Been here a few times. Chill out location, affordable wine & dine, chilling out to local flare like Hokkien fried noddles & Turkish meat platter, affordable wine or beer. This place have a lively atmosphere which I admire most. Cheers.

  • 3/5 Angela K. 5 months ago on Google
    Food is ok.. Service sucks big time. Waitress showing attitude face when ask where is our change. 1st time replied.. Please WAIT.. after 10min ask her again. She ignore and walk past. Shop not busy with only 3 tables. I don’t think I am unreasonable.

  • 3/5 Deon L. 2 years ago on Google
    Average food at restaurant prices. Wide selection of drinks, but the food here is really overpriced. Would visit elsewhere for food before coming over for drinks.

  • 1/5 Gerard C. 2 years ago on Google
    Better be DRINKING if you're here. Ordered Kopi C + lime juice and it never came. Cleaner has to sweep under my table, knock my feet and hit my chair while we were finishing up our food. I get it, you don't want me here. See you never. Hang on, I don't remember getting Trace-Together verified by anyone when I checked in.

  • 4/5 Seref I. 2 years ago on Google
    Decent prices and huge beer variety. Due to its compactness it’s hard to chat / spread. But it makes up for that with its beer variety. Good place.

  • 4/5 Armando T. 7 months ago on Google
    We ate at Pete's for 2 consecutive nights. We ordered big platters, and all I can say is it's really worth coming back. While I can say that service can be improved, I couldn't complain because it is a hawker anyway and the price range is very reasonable compared to the delicious meal. The atmosphere of the place has a lot of potential.

  • 3/5 Erica T. 9 months ago on Google
    Been here a couple of times but only for the Hokkien mee. Pretty decent with good flavour and wok hei, just that the protein option is inconsistent… supposed to replace siu yuk for sotong, but sometimes it’s just fish cake for the same price. Quite like the vibe, but the sports from the TV can be a little bit loud for the afternoon chill vibe.

    Good hangout place... needs to maintain its cleaniness... good place hangout on weekends .for food, I usually prefer the chicken kebab rice in the Mediterranean joint.There are veg options available like Falafel wraps with hummus.

  • 3/5 Jamie P. 3 years ago on Google
    more of a place to have a couple of drinks and chill rather than a meal. Food was just average

    Hi - my mate & I always come here for our fill of Duvel, we come here 2-3 times a week, we love the place, the staff and the location. But...please do offer some snacks like peanuts or something with your beers...the only thing that makes us move away is the lack of snacks. Please do provide some good snacks for us to have with our beers, to keep our bums on the seats and spend more money with you :) Thanks! See you soon...

  • 5/5 Brian B. 3 years ago on Google
    After picking a beer from their impressive selection it's time to kick back and watch. There's some fine people watching to do here. Drivers, bicyclists, walkers, commuters, shoppers, and runners continue to go by. The high top stools along the street is where you want to sit.

  • 4/5 Kaptain K. 3 years ago on Google
    I'd describe this as half Singapore hawker style and half western, with a great mix of food including a burger and taco bar. Location wise is right on a corner, perfect for relaxing outside and watching the world go by. The bar has some great choices of beers, at reasonable prices too.

  • 5/5 michael l. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing selection of Belgian beers, at the right price.

  • 3/5 Ray T. 3 years ago on Google
    Hawker infused concept bar. Popular spot among expats here. I think they like the open concept while seated and enjoy their drinks beside the busy road kinda scene. They have 3 types of german beers on tap and countless of other craft bottled beers available. There’s a legit hawker stall that sells local delights like hokkien mee and laksa. The other stalls include western, thai and mediterranean food. Never had a chance to try the local stuffs but the chicken chop is pretty normal. Beers are slightly pricey but some items are on discount. Do enquire as it’s not stated on menu.

  • 4/5 Minmin L. 3 years ago on Google
    Just finished a meal there! I read online that this stall is closing at the end of August and i had to go try. So i became the tour guide and brought my parents along heh heh. We all order the normal portion (the $5 one) and i added the ηŒͺ🐷油渣 myself. The $5 serving has three prawns. The taste of this hokkien noodle is really something. Not too dry or wet and no fishy smell. The noodles and ingredients really fresh. The chilli is not the sweet kind and it has a great sting. They have the chopped red chilli too. This is also the first hokkien mee that i ate and does not leave any after taste in the mouth. It is really good and highly recommended. Negative point is the long queue loh. Cos many flocked to the stall after learning that it is closing soon and i queued for a good 35 mins before i can order. But then i went on a Sunday so maybe crowd on weekdays is different.

  • 5/5 SIMON L. 4 years ago on Google
    Loved the beer and also the Hokkien Mee stall

  • 5/5 Polina von R. 3 years ago on Google
    Great concept. Affordable and delicious food, and drinks. Very friendly and attentive waiters who never forget to come and check on you. A bunch of craft beers to choose from. Wine bottles are on a crazy promo on some days. Absolutely loved their kebab stall, generous serving won't leave you hungry. Kebabs are juicy.

  • 4/5 Jean H. 3 years ago on Google
    I'm purposely coming down to eat the Fried Hokkien Mee and Char Kway Teow. It is highly recommended by my ex- school mate. Heard that the stall owner going to retire. So my hubby and I regardless the rain took our bike to Alibabar. There was no regrets.

  • 5/5 Aravinda C C. 3 years ago on Google
    Good place to tell people youre having 'lunch' but getting drinks on instead with your mates

  • 1/5 Elizabeth P. 3 years ago on Google
    Service and selection of drinks is great, lovely location too. Unfortunatly had a bad experience with the Mediterranean stall. Gluten makes me bloated so I asked if I could get the falafel dish and swap the bread for some hummus. The guy at the counter said I could get 2 separate dishes (hummus and falafel) so I explained I didn't want 2 dishes, just to swap the bread for some hummus. He got angry and said 'just do what you want'. I saw he was upset and apologized if I offended him and that wasn't my intention and I was just asking a question. He replied that I was very forceful in my asking. I apologised again and said I may have had difficulty convaying my message when wearing a mask, and that I was just asking because in some places they will adapt the menu and if I don't ask I won't know. He replied that the bread was free anyway, but he could have swapped if the meal had cost $20 instead. He was obviously annoyed so I left. I'm still reflecting how I could have managed that situation better. But really almost everywhere I go in SG can adapt there vegetarian dishes to be gluten free so I didn't think it was an unfair question. A simple explanation on why they couldn't (if that was the case) would have sufficed, and I have accepted this in many other places. When I explained this situation to my friends they say they got the same attitude from the guy which is why they didn't go a second time.

  • 2/5 Ken H. 3 years ago on Google
    The only traditional stall selling noodle, Hokkien mee and char kway teow is retiring. A new owner is taking over but cooking skill not as good. There are 2 western food and 1 Thai food stalls. The drink stall sells many diff beers and upmarket juices (like avocado smoothie).

  • 5/5 Terry L. 3 years ago on Google
    Very good range of beer with good accompanying chinese food like kway tiao, hokkien mee etc. Will prefer to go to this location from evening onwards so that it won't be so warm
