Calling all record fiends, crate-diggers extraordinaire and music lovers ready to lose yourselves in the warm embrace of analog sound! Vinyl warriors can now get their groove on as Little Island Brewing Company at Gillman Barracks brings you Singapore’s first vintage vinyl bar, featuring the iconic Altec Lansing A5-X Speakers from The 1950s.
Immerse in a range of retro music from the 70s and 80s every Wednesday, 7-10pm, at one of Singapore’s first vinyl bars, where vintage vibes take over for an audio experience as rich and complex as the brewery’s award-winning beers. Ditch the sterile shuffles and soulless Muzak; we’re talking about warm, soulful vinyl spinning on a legendary Technics MK5G turntable paired with vintage Altec Lansing A5-X speakers from the 1950s, also known as the Voice of the Theatre.
The setup is just the beginning. Every Friday and Saturday, look forward to live band performances, played in an audiophile haven that will redefine your listening experience. The atmosphere will be completed with retro Instaworthy corners featuring telephones through the ages and old school memorabilia, perfect for photos or a close huddle with that special date.
Bring the kids for fun for the whole family. Experience one of the first mini-Vespa scooter rides in Singapore, along with an old-school playground outdoors, and a bouncy castle to expend any excess energy. The outdoors is also pet-friendly for the four-legged members of the family!
Intended to offer a different night out at each of its outlets, Little Island Brewing Co. at Gillman Barracks sees a direct interpretation of the owner’s love for vinyl records and vintage sound systems. This is where to be for pure unadulterated fun and smooth sounds for the young and young at heart.
Exclusive to Gillman Barracks is the Vinyl Charcoal Pizza, created in the image of the nostalgic allure of vintage vinyl records. The charcoal pizza is a culinary masterpiece that is baked to order and served with black dough tinted stylishly noir with activated charcoal. The striking black colour, reminiscent of vinyl’s timeless elegance, is a visual representation of our love for music and the analog sound. Choose from 11 flavours including Pineapple the Sailor Ham and Play that Fungi Muzik, each is a pun on famous hits from over the decades that you can also find on vinyl.
Local flavours can be found with the Nasi Kerabu with Rendang Daging, a plate of vibrant flavours drawing from blue pea flower-tinted coconut rice paired with tender slow-braised spicy beef neck, showcasing the best of Malaysian cuisine. Golden satisfying crunch is presented with the Slow Roasted Pork Belly, succulent pork belly slow-roasted to perfection, topped with a sinfully crispy pork crackling that adds a decadent crunch to every bite. Crowned with a fennel honey vinegar glaze, tomato sambalado, fresh cucumber, and a hint of lime, it promises tender meat and the crunchiest crackling laced with just enough zing to have you yearning more.
