66 Chambers, which is a bar into subculture, think bondage and such, sounds very promising to add something different to the bar scene in Singapore. The interior is very on the point, with black and blood red theme ruling the space. It is seductive and intense. The bondage tools hanging off the wall in the rooms, plus the cage, really drive home to the bondage-centric core of this place.
And this kind of atmosphere draws the unconventional individuals to this place, who are the highlight of this place. There are the expressive ones who dressed themselves in bondage to attend the event. It is really an eye-opener to me. If given the chance again, I love to talk to them to know more about this subculture. To feed my curious mind and satisfy the observer in me.
Though I think that it takes time to local bar scene to get acclimatised to this kind of subculture. Because when at event, I find that most patrons are passive and just waiting around for something to happen. There’s techno music playing, but hardly anyone is vibing to it.
The drinks there are more for intoxication than pleasing the palates. I can understand since this bar’s focus is on the subculture, not on drinks or food. But it’s simply my instinct to taste the drink instead of just drinking it, due to how extensive I write about food and drinks. I will get soft drinks next time since it’s hard to go wrong with soft drinks.
I feel this bar wants the patrons to be daring and make full use of the spaces and props provided to express ourselves. If you are into it or want to try it, go for it.
