The Green Door
Situated in lush Dempsey Hill, this is
the perfect setting for a quiet catch-up
with the gals. On Wednesdays, women
can enjoy one-for-one Prosecco by the
glass ($16) all night long, or opt for
daily happy hour specials including
wines and spirits by the glass ($9 and
$11, respectively). And, though you’ll
have to pay full price, the fruity bellinis
and champagne cocktails (all $19) are
delicious and worth it, as are the yummy
$13 mocktails. 13A Dempsey Road |
Copper
Although this new spot specialises in gin, ladies can enjoy free-flow Bottega
Prosecco every Wednesday from 6 to 9pm – no purchase necessary. And, if you’re
feeling hungry, order some bar bites like lamb kaftas and babi guling tacos ($18
each), or something from the supper menu – available from midnight to 3am. 10

KPO
Every Wednesday from 5pm to 1am,
KPO offers a ladies’ night high-tea
special priced at $88, inclusive of
six Strongbow Apple Ciders, six jelly
shooters and a selection of sweet and
savoury treats from Nassim Hill café,
including mini brioche chicken sliders
with sriracha, Earl Grey crème brûlée
and mini passion-fruit tarts. There’s
also a one-for-one deal on ciders ($14)
all night long for ladies and a live band
and DJ from 7pm and 9pm respectively.

Stylish Keong Saik
Make a reservation at Vida Vino for
some tapas sharing and paella ($65
for a three-person serving), and a great
(and affordable) selection of wines and
Prosecco, before nipping over to The
Library for some fancy cocktails.
Or, fully commit to putting your diet
on hold for the night, and snag a spot
at Potato Head Folk’s charming, fairy
light-strewn shophouse rooftop – a fun
atmosphere with hip-hop music – to
indulge in burgers (around $20 each) and
fries, and all kinds of tropical beverages.
But, since it’s walk-in only, you’ll have to
get there early to put your name in; have
a cocktail on the third level at Studio 1939
Lounge while you wait, or head down
there for some post-dinner drinks.
Another option in the area is Wine
Mansion, a neighbourhood gem that
offers ladies free-flow red, white and
sparkling wine for $25 on Wednesdays from 7.30 to 10.30pm, and a
“wine and beer buffet” open to all genders for $35 from 5pm to 9pm
every day except Wednesday and Friday, complete with a complimentary
Wine Mansion mini food platter. Soak it up with snacks ($7 to $9) like
hummus, falafel and roasted eggplant, or bigger bites ($16 to $28) like
Mediterranean chicken, pasta or filet mignon.
