6 after-work venues with dinner, dancing and live bands

For Singaporeans of a certain age, Hard Rock Cafe at Cuscaden Road isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a rite of passage. If your youth involved clapping to wait staff belting out “You make me wanna shout!”, you’ll be glad to know the old haunt is still going strong.

In celebration of its 35th anniversary, it hosts live music every Monday, with the band Kabin Crue taking the stage from 7pm to 11pm – happily, the same hours for one-for-one drinks. Wednesdays are Ladies’ Night, featuring live music and free-flow drinks from 8pm to 10pm at S$10 for women and S$45 for men.
