Bumbo Rum Club: Your ideal Caribbean outpost in Singapore
Need to cool off from your busy day at work? Keep calm and drink rum at the Bumbo Rum Club.
Déliciae Hospitality Management decided to revamp its urban art bar at 83 Club Street for a brand new concept that now houses, Bumbo Rum Club (BRC). The restaurant-bar, dedicated to the glory of rum, is named after the Bumbo cocktail that features rum, water, sugar and nutmeg.
Showcasing the sweetness of life, the traditional décor in the space comes in a soft pale green colour and Caribbean-style furniture, with an aged-barrel to enhance the rum character of the venue. Behind the counter, neatly lined up you’ll see an impressive collection of 76 rums from 20 countries and 7 homemade infused rums ready to quench your thirst. Just the sheer selection itself will make your visit a bit more exciting every time you sneak a glance inside Bumbo Rum Club.
Another detail to note is the Bumbo bell. Ring the antique ship’s bell and either prep yourself to buy shots for all patrons or be the lucky guest and enjoy a free round of drinks!
Rum is one of the oldest liquors around with a vast history and various types and colours to pick from. Whether light or dark, pure or infused, revel in this angel’s drink. Prefer a cocktail instead? Then sip on one of the 25 cocktails listed on the menu. Personally, we enjoyed the Signature cocktail (SGD24++), which was refreshing with the fragrant strawberries. For parties of 4 to 6 guests, order the Voodoo punch (SGD120++) which is a blend of gold rum, Malibu, orange, pineapple, sprite and angostura served in a watermelon rind. That should definitely make you feel like you’re on the beach!
Crafted by Executive Chef Damien Le Bihan, the food menu complies with the ambiance featuring Spanish and Latin American dishes. Complement your drinks with platters of nachos (SGD14++), quesadillas (SGD16++), tasty ceviche (starting at SGD13++) or the great pork ribs with blackcurrant (SGD28++ for 500g), and never ever leave the place without the addicted crunchy churros (SGD9++).
But what would be the Bumbo Rum Club without music and dance? Reggae, salsa, Caribbean, ladies’ night and happy hour – they have it all planned for you so you don’t really have a choice but to head down this weekend!
