Uncabunca - Circular Road

If there’s a game on, you can count on Uncabunca being packed with sports fans, bottled Heinekens in hand, completely ignoring the pool table and dart board that normally hold their attentions for hours on end during an after-work drinking session with mates. Classier punters go for craftier brews at this chillaxed pub down Circular Road, opting for Little Creatures beer or Magners cider, but whether you’re a Heineken man or not, everyone gets along in this Singapore pub. And that’s what Singapore’s all about, people from all walks of life just getting along and having a few drinks together. Therefore, Uncabunca is Singapore, in a bowl of roasted nutshells.

You’ve been working like a slave in a towering, steel-and-glass skyscraper all day, you’re one little cog in the vast machinery of Singapore’s economic miracle. You keep a copy of From Third World to First: The Singapore Story by Lee Kuan Yew on the bedside table in your 15-metre-square studio apartment, but you really, really don’t want to go home and read it just yet. So why not come to your home away from home, where everyone knows your name? No, it’s not Cheers bar (but cheers anyway!) – you know its name – Uncabunca on Circular Road!
