me like 'Timbre' very much

It is surprising that I have not blogged about Timbre yet considering I have been there like almost every week , sometimes every twice or thrice a week in the past couple of months. I had heard about a cozy restaurant + bar near the old national library but only went there in Dec last year. And now it is my favorite hang out joint. Since it's discovery, I have also brought many of my friends there and all of them absolutely loved it too.

Timbre is a restaurant + bar with live music from upcoming local bands. You may like this place for several reasons ...
1. It is an open air place with wooden tables and chairs. It gives one a very relaxed and cozy feel. And with good evening breeze it is just about the perfect place to hang out with friends or business associates for a drink after work/classes.
2. The food is simple and yummy. I personally like the think crust pizzas and the soft shell crabs. The pizzas are not too cheesy and go along well with the beer or drinks.
3. And that brings me to the drinks. The bar has almost all popular beers on tap and a good variety of wine too. The prices are reasonable given its location and setting.
4. But the most important reason I love Timbre is because of the live bands. The management encourages local bands and gives them opportunities to perform. I have now long been a fan of 'The Goodfellas' ever since they played in China One on Thursdays. They now perform in Timbre on Thursdays and Saturdays. I also heard this new band '53A' who now play on Fridays and quite liked them too. Maybe I should go back next Friday to hear them again. Besides these, 'E I C' plays on Wednesday and 'Reverie' on Tuesdays.

Another thing, whatever I have written here is all with respect to Timbre @ Substation at Armenian Street as there is another Timbre at Arts House too. I have been to the one at Arts House only once but did not like it all that much. There are more details on www.timbre.com.sg and you can even do reservations.

So yeah, if any of you friends want to hang out at Timbre, do not forget to call me okie :P
