About Backstage Bar

Backstage Bar is a long-running LGBTQ+ nightlife address in Singapore’s Neil Road enclave. Its theatre theme runs through the room, with musical posters, show-tune references and lounge-style seating that suits both an early drink and a later stop. The bar shares the neighbourhood with several of the city’s best-known queer venues, making it easy to include in a wider night out. Expect cocktails, a convivial mixed crowd and a setting that feels more intimate than a large club. The venue currently opens nightly and serves until the early hours.

What to expect

A compact, theatre-themed LGBTQ+ bar with cocktails, lounge seating and a sociable late-night crowd.

I was strolling along chinatown in Singapore after dinner and found this place tucked away discreetly at a corner lot. It was quiet since the party going crowd will not be in until much later. Had a drink here and I can honestly say the price here is much affordable than the other watering holes I have come across in Singapore.

Disgusting staff. Have no plan what they do. Wait forever for ordering a drink. Order a drink at 2:55am finally. 18$ and gave 2$ tip. Then I sit down, at 3am the staff came to my table and Stole my glass and throw it into to the sink. Without any explanation or prewarning. As I said I wanna complain to another guy, they said this is the manger and he is crazy and I should be quiet because they want to go back there (only gay place open until 3 am, the other just until 1am) They might need it, I highly recommend not to go there at all. Weekend is also super overcrowded. Tantric is closed but they just use the reputation tantric had. They could make so much money with that bar with staff, who are nice and know what they do and want to work at all.

I always have a great time here with my friends. The staff are so friendly, accommodating and attentive although a bit hard when it gets very crowded on weekend nights. Good range of drinks and food, fun music and movies played on multiple screens throughout. All 'types' of people will feel welcome here so it is also a nice place to people watch. Come hang out here y'all! :)

Average cocktails, nothing special. Accepting environment for LGBT individuals however they took down the wrong drink order which was charged for and then after my card was returned at the designated table,the staff had already charged me for the wrong drink and when this was questioned I was told “but I have already charged for it” Would not be in a hurry to come back here
