About

Nestled in the quiet neighborhood of Whitchurch Road, Colbar is a preserved establishment that offers a nostalgic glimpse into Singapore's past. Originally a canteen for the British army established in 1953, its name is a portmanteau of "colonial bar". The building itself was relocated from its original spot on Jalan Hang Jebat due to expressway construction and now stands as a testament to a bygone era. Inside, the decor remains largely unchanged, featuring Formica tabletops and a collection of old photographs that contribute to its authentic, retro ambiance. This setting provides a tranquil retreat from the modern city, allowing patrons to experience a piece of old Singapore. Colbar serves a menu of Hainanese-Western cuisine, reflecting its historical roots. Patrons can expect classic dishes such as pork cutlets, roasted chicken, and fish and chips, often served with a side of potato wedges and mushrooms. In addition to its Western fare, the menu also includes a variety of Asian dishes. The establishment is also known for its selection of craft beers and ciders. Visitors should be aware that Colbar operates on a cash-only basis. The combination of its historical charm and straightforward, traditional food has cultivated a loyal clientele over the decades.
