    The location is ideal because it is cozy and away from the hustle of other drinking/dining establishments. I just stop there to order their famous duck pizza, but when I arrived, I was greeted right away be a helpful staff member. She took my order and asked me to wait at one of the table. I was there about 6:30 PM and there were two tables with people. They seemed to be having a good time. From other reviews, I agree that the music is too loud as the two tables seemed to want to chat with background music lightly playing. Otherwise, nice place. The duck pizza was delicious with a combination of sweet and crunchy.

    A great live music venue in Singapore. Was there on a quiet Wednesday night with a few friends. This turned out to be 80s night, with what must be the best 'pub' band I've ever seen. Their take on classic hits was great, and they really knew how to work an audience. Timbre itself was an attractive venue, nice cocktails and great bar food to snack on through the night.

    This is probably one of my favourite live music venues in Singapore. Started with EIC (Jack & Rai) and now with 53A. Great beer selection, happy hour options and pizza range is yummy. Check out the website to see which band is playing each night, usually starts after 10pm.

    Went on a Saturday evening, and we were rather early so no crowd at all. No band yet but nice background music. The duck pizza was no longer a wow factor, not saying the standard dropped, maybe just too many better options out there. The truffle fries was very average and slightly disappointing in term of presentation due to lack of shaved parmesan. The substation-exclusive wings were 'ordinary' and the last dish, steak with melted brie came in really small portion with ultra thin layer of melted brie... definitely over-priced. Lastly, we were forced to order drinks as it's their rule, every diner cannot go without a drink.. which is quite unreasonable to me, we just want to join the food without all the liquid calories. $117 for 1 pizza and 3 sides plus 2 drink.

    Good live music and atmosphere but food options were quite limited, especially for vegetarians. The only options were cheese pizza or plain pasta (actually a modified version of the seafood pasta on the menu). The live band we saw was excellent and created a great atmosphere, so if you're in it just for the booze & the boogie, you won't be disappointed. Staff on the whole are f%@#ing clueless. Thankfully, ordering on the iPad reduces the need to interact with them.

    Nice place to dance and drink. Supersoni music band is awesome! Not enough ventilators to reduce the sense of hot -and they have a lot- (will be better a swimming pool). :))))

    Always a good place to hang out and listen to great live music! Many great local bands have once graced the stage here! Great thin crust pizzas too :) you might want to get there early if you’re looking to get a table on the weekends. Photos from 2015.

    Always a great place to hang out. Regardless of big or small groups. Best to make a reservation since tables get taken up quick. Duck pizza is a must have! Many other small bites for selection Huge selection of drinks. The boozy bubble tea was interesting but not alcoholic enough. Very sweet. Sour apple was actually really nice too!

    We had dinner there, was early too before the crowd arrived. Had the half and half pizza and soup. Wanted to try something else other then the duck pizza. Guess the soup wasn't popular, the kitchen can't served them. Think the should remove it from the menu. 630pm, the soup definitely can't be sold out. Disgusted by their management rule that very person must order a drink. My wife couldn't take alcohol so she had a cranberry juice instead. 7 bucks for a juice that isn't freshly made.

  • 4/5 Missy T. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice chill out place before the band starts. Didn’t quite like the Saturday band as their showmanship was not my style.

  • 4/5 M S. 4 years ago on Google

    Great place, reasonable pricing for drinks and food. Limited but great selection of wine. My friends and I enjoyed our visit, however, the music can be a bit too loud fot your comfort if you choose to sit infornt and the pizza is a bit too oily for my liking. The wings however was nice and tender but could do with a tad bit more seasoning.Overall I would say that it was a pleasant experience visiting this place though there are room for improvements.

    My wife and I loved Timbre at the Substation! We have been looking for a live music venue and we finally found the perfect spot. The band was excellent! So much fun and talented with popular western tunes. The beer and food are an excellent value! We were very happy at the end of the night when we got the bill. And I’ll say the pizza was excellent and probably the largest pie I’ve seen here in Singapore. Can’t wait to go back!

  • 5/5 Courtney T. 4 years ago on Google
    I had the best time here the band "The Souls of Singapore" were absolutely incredible. Sooo much talent ! The vibe was amazing I could go here every night. The set out was cozy and elegant !

    Nice pizzas, great live band, had fun with the TV screens that show messages/song dedications. Toilets are right next to the kitchen, there’s only 2 cubicles so this leads to long queues and poor ventilation inside. So they get really sticky and warm. The band also seems to take a lot of long breaks and I don’t know what happened to the song dedications besides them showing up on the TV screens.

  • 3/5 Kensington O. 4 years ago on Google
    The food was average. Prices were average. The song dedication via the app didnt work that evening. Good variety of drinks though.

  • 5/5 Jeet P. 4 years ago on Google
    Good casual vibes. Food options are limited, but the good live band will probably make up for that

  • 4/5 CIKA D. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place to hangout with your friends, lot of drink option but the same band always sing the same song every Saturday night, it's nice to change band from time to time I guess ?
