Parkview Square Bar, Singapore

I'm in Singapore for a few days for work and last night my colleague, Maree, and I went out for dinner with a former colleague, Jim, and his vivacious wife, Pam. After an entertaining and delicious meal, Jim and Pam decided to take us to 'their club' for cocktails. It turns out that 'their club' is the Divine Wine Society Bar in the Parkview Square Building, a brand new, art deco inspired building built by a rather wealthy Korean.
Talk about OTT and old worlde opulence! This photo of course doesn't do this amazing bar justice but you might get the idea. And apparently it's almost always empty. While we were there last night for a couple of hours up till midnight there was only us and another group of 4 businessmen. That didn't stop the 'waitress-fairy' from gliding 5 metres up the refrigerated wine cellar built into the wall above the bar to retrieve a bottle of wine, I kid you not.


This is where the wines are stored and you can see the 'fairy' right at the top, getting a bottle of wine. Yep, Over the Top and...loving it!
