Begin - Singapore

The best bar in Singapore!! Both drinks and dishes are amazing!! Nice atmosphere and live music on every Saturday 7-10pm!!!!!!!

Really great happy hour deal from 6-8pm! $10 for a gin cocktail! Service is great

We had a wonderful evening at the restaurant. They offer an extensive selection of gin, and while the beer and wine choices are somewhat limited, they are reasonably priced, which works well for the target audience. The food was excellent, with a menu that shares many items with Penny Black downstairs, ensuring solid and good-value meals. A special shoutout to the staff, particularly Steven, who provided first-class service with his attentive and proactive approach. Thank you to the whole team! We will definitely return.

There’s also a good selection of cocktails starting from SGD 25, with most priced at SGD 25. Although they are on the pricier side, they provide great value as the bartender crafts these cocktails skillfully. The bar food offers a nice variety, mostly in a British pub style but of good quality. I tried the penny chicken, also known as chicken cordon bleu, which was delicious, and the thick-cut fries were delightful as well. The staff here are generally friendly and helpful, especially the lady in glasses, who seems to be the manager. She was warm and attentive to her customers, making the experience feel more personal. Chatting with her was like talking to a friend.

BeGIN has truly convinced me that Singapore needs more gin bars. I really enjoyed the cozy interiors and relaxed atmosphere—perhaps because we arrived early and practically had the place to ourselves. A big shoutout to whoever curated the music playlist this afternoon; it really set the mood. I was pleasantly surprised by the "smoke show" that came with our Lavender cocktail. However, when it comes to taste, I still prefer my Monkey 47 gin and tonic. If you're a gin enthusiast, you'll definitely appreciate this place, and who knows, if you're not a fan yet, you might just become one after your visit! Oh, and a tip: the stairs to BeGIN are located inside the Penny Black bar. I wasn’t aware of this and it took me a while to find it, haha!
