Chijmes - Drinks&Co Grill & Cocktail
150 guests max
7 Fraser St, #01-59 & 60 The Gong by Drinks&Co. @ DUO Galleria, Duo Galleria, Singapore
A 19th-century Gothic chapel complex turned vibrant dining and entertainment precinct sets the stage for Chijmes - Drinks&Co Grill & Cocktail, one of Bugis's most architecturally distinctive event addresses. The property occupies the landmark CHIJMES heritage development — a gazetted national monument — giving every gathering an ambience that no purpose-built banquet hall can replicate. From the moment guests arrive under the vaulted stone archways, the setting communicates occasion, making it a natural fit for corporate social evenings, brand activations, and intimate celebratory dinners across Singapore's central business corridor.
With a maximum capacity of 150 guests in a floating or cocktail configuration, Chijmes - Drinks&Co Grill & Cocktail is deliberately scaled for exclusivity rather than volume. The indoor bar and grill area provides a warm, convivial atmosphere anchored by a well-appointed cocktail counter and an open grill kitchen, while the surrounding CHIJMES courtyard and covered forecourt — shared with the broader precinct — extend ambient space during private-hire arrangements. Indoor AV capabilities support presentations and brand-led activations, and the venue's established cocktail programme lends itself naturally to curated beverage experiences, a key differentiator for corporate networking events in Singapore's F&B-driven MICE segment.
The space performs strongly for two event formats: corporate cocktail receptions where the grill menu and craft cocktail list drive conversation, and private milestone dinners — birthdays, anniversaries, and farewell celebrations — where the heritage surroundings elevate the personal significance of the occasion. Planners should note an important operational reality: at 150-guest capacity, Chijmes - Drinks&Co is not suited to large-scale conferences, plenary sessions, or wedding banquets requiring formal seated rounds for more than 80–90 covers. Sourcing a venue within a national monument precinct also means event timings and sound levels are subject to CHIJMES estate guidelines, so early coordination with the venue team on noise and curfew parameters is strongly advised.
Positioned within the CHIJMES complex on Victoria Street, the property sits less than a five-minute walk from Bras Basah MRT station on the Circle Line and City Hall MRT interchange, making delegate arrival straightforward for CBD-based attendees without reliance on private transport. Proximate multi-storey car parks at CHIJMES and the adjacent Raffles City Shopping Centre accommodate guests arriving by vehicle. The surrounding Bugis and Civic District precinct offers overflow accommodation options at multiple hotel properties, useful for out-of-town guests or multi-day corporate programmes anchored at nearby convention facilities.
For planners prioritising character, central accessibility, and a beverage-forward catering experience within a compact, curated guest count, this heritage-backed venue in Bugis delivers a proposition that glass-and-steel hotel function rooms rarely match. The combination of Gothic stone architecture, a focused grill-and-cocktail menu, and a nationally recognised precinct address creates a backdrop that resonates with clients seeking distinction over scale. Early enquiries are recommended, particularly for Friday and Saturday evening slots, which consistently attract high demand across the CHIJMES estate.
