Beer Brisket Wings
31 Upper Circular Road

First impressions:
Relaxed, American speakeasy-style
– wooden tables and chairs, rawhide seat coverings and
whiskey barrels lend authentic charm.
The Chosen One:
With one of the largest ranges of
American whiskeys in Singapore, it’s a perfect place to
sample rye, malt and bourbon whiskeys (priced from
$15). If you prefer cocktails, the Whisky Ginger Sour
($25) – house-made ginger beer reduction, bourbon
whiskey and grapefruit juice – is far too tasty to sip slowly.
There’s also an astonishing range of craft beers – try a
bottle of the Stateside Saison Stillwater American Ale
($16) for a light, smooth taste of America.
The Cheapskate:
Happy Hour stretches from 5.30pm
to 9.30pm, during which you’ll get cocktails, beers and
whiskeys for $10 each.
Bite on this:
The Brisket ($18), offered with a Texas-
style dry rub or BBQ Special Chilli, is slow-cooked for
24 hours so that it melts in your mouth; it’s served with
crispy sweet potato fries. The Bloody Good Wings ($14
for 6, $22 for 12) come in three flavours, but the standout
is the Gorgonzola Dulce and Celery Hot Wings – sweet,
sour and spicy, but offset with creamy gorgonzola
cheese. The Bastard Collard Greens – a combination
of spinach,
kai lan
and bacon – is also worth a mention.
Last but not least:
A new collaboration from the owners
of Circular Road speakeasy-style hangout The Spiffy
Dapper and gourmet street-food restaurant Meat and
Green, Beer Brisket Wings further contributes to the
rising popularity of Circular Road as the place to get
after-work drinks.
