Barbary Coast co-founder Celia Schoonraad shares her favourite spots and hidden gems.
SINGAPORE – Planning a bar crawl in Singapore? According to Barbary Coast co-founder Celia Schoonraad, the key to a memorable night out is blending iconic stops with unique, hidden gems.
Faced with pandemic restrictions, Barbary Coast had to pivot to a delivery model and go through multiple iterations. Today, the second-floor Ballroom has been rebranded under the Barbary Coast name, while its lower-floor space relaunched in July as DF Cantina, a neighbourhood bar with a focus on agave spirits.
Asked what makes a good bar, Ms Schoonraad says that these days, her drinking habits have changed from when she first started out in the field more than a decade ago.That means opting for bars with bartenders with a reputation for reliable hands. She adds: “I go out infrequently, so for me, it is the social aspect of the drink and the person making it that does it for me.”
Also, its sourdough is the best bread in Singapore. You can tell so much about a venue by its bread and butter, and they are so good.Rappu specialises in sushi hand rolls, also known as temaki.

The drinks are unassuming – highballs, gin and tonics, beers – and it does a great yuzu soda.
