While there’s nothing quite like relaxing with a drink in hand without the kids on a date night, sometimes it’s nice to have a watering hole that has space and a play area to keep your little ones occupied, while you enjoy that drink (or two) – undisturbed. Here are some of our favourite restaurants and bars to hit up this weekend where you won’t have to stress about getting a babysitter.
Want to chill by the beach with your spouse while your kids build sandcastles? Check out Trapizza on Siloso Beach. You can’t beat alfresco dining with a sea breeze. Relax with a slice of pizza, a glass of cocktail (or two!), while the little ones enjoy their own kids’ bento set.
