Chijmes - Drinks&Co Grill & Cocktail
150 guests max
7 Fraser St, #01-59 & 60 The Gong by Drinks&Co. @ DUO Galleria, Duo Galleria, Singapore
Few bar-restaurant concepts in Singapore anchor themselves inside a conservation landmark as purposefully as Chijmes - Drinks&Co Grill & Cocktail does within the CHIJMES heritage complex in the Civic District. The space draws on the Gothic-style architecture of the former Caldwell House convent — a nationally gazetted site — to give every corporate gathering, private celebration, or product showcase a backdrop that purpose-built event halls simply cannot replicate. With a standing capacity of up to 150 guests, the venue operates as a full-service grill and cocktail bar where the programme, the food, and the drinks are managed under one roof.
CHIJMES is a pedestrianised complex of 19th-century Gothic architecture set within lush open courtyards, and Drinks&Co occupies one of its F&B tenancies with direct access to the surrounding precinct. The interior is styled around a grill-forward kitchen and a cocktail bar, while the heritage courtyard outside provides a striking pre-function area for arrivals and drinks receptions. Confirmed capacity sits at 150 guests in a floating or cocktail setup — well-suited to private dining buyouts, cocktail receptions, and seated dinners where the ambient architecture functions as a built-in design element for corporate events and social gatherings in the Civic District.
For corporate planners, Drinks&Co offers a buyout model that converts the bar and dining floor into a dedicated event space — suitable for team appreciation evenings, client entertainment, and informal MICE functions where a relaxed bar-restaurant format is preferred over a conventional hotel ballroom. For social bookings — milestone birthdays, reunion dinners, or pre-wedding celebrations — the grill menu and hand-crafted cocktail programme give hosts a curated food-and-beverage experience rather than a banquet package. Planners should note that with a maximum PAX of 150, this location is best suited to boutique-scale events; groups requiring theatre-style conference seating or AV-heavy production setups will find the format limiting, as the space is configured as a dining and bar environment, not a conference facility.
Positioned within the CHIJMES complex near City Hall MRT interchange — served by both the East-West and North-South lines — the venue is accessible from the CBD, Marina Bay, and the Bugis corridor without requiring attendee transport coordination. The surrounding CHIJMES precinct provides overflow for pre-event or post-event networking in an open-air heritage setting, which is a practical logistical advantage for planners managing multi-stage evening programmes. Street-level access and proximity to multiple hotel accommodation options within a short radius make it a workable anchor for events where out-of-town guests are involved.
