The Cider Pit
In a city of flashy rooftop bars, the Cider Pit takes pride in being a "no-frills" neighborhood local. At The Cider Pit, the focus is exactly where it should be: on the liquid in your glass and the people across the table.
The Largest Cider Selection in the Red Dot
While most bars treat cider as an afterthought (usually stuck with one sugary commercial brand), the Cider Pit treats it as an art form. They carry over 50 different varieties of bottled and draught ciders. From the bone-dry traditional English scrumpies to modern, fruit-infused artisanal blends from around the globe, our menu is a journey through the orchard.
Craft Beer Without the Pretense
Not a fan of the apple? No problem. They are pioneers in the Singapore craft beer scene. The taps rotate regularly, featuring local brews and international heavyweights. They believe craft beer should be accessible, which is why you'll find some of the most competitive prices for pints in the Joo Chiat district.
That "East Side" Vibe
There is something special about Joo Chiat. It’s heritage-rich, eclectic, and unpretentious. The Cider Pit embodies this spirit. The alfresco seating is the perfect place for people-watching, catching a breeze, and enjoying the laid-back rhythm of life in Katong.
What’s on Tap? (And in the Fridge)
The menu is constantly evolving, but here is a taste of what you can usually expect when you walk in:
Category | What to Expect |
