Nantoy’s Sherlock-Themed Pub Crawl Stag Night

After we successfully pulled off Monica’s surprise bridal shower, there was another surprise in store, this time for her groom-to-be Nantoy: a Sherlock-themed stag night!

In case you’re not a Sherlock fan like our dear friend Nantoy (and me), let me explain: in the TV series Sherlock, Sherlock had a stag night for his best friend John Watson, in which they went on a pub crawl until they got so hilariously drunk.

Since Nantoy prefers to be Sherlock over John, we had to give him props – Sherlock’s signature look, a scarf! 😀

Meanwhile we girls ended up wearing dresses which were either black or green.

We headed to Clarke Quay, Singapore’s pub district.

We were amazed to discover that Singapore has its own locks of love now! You know those famous bridges in Italy and Korea where couples would write their names on a padlock and stick it on one side of the bridge? We have it here too!

We walked into our first pub, one called Elephant Room.

This was my first time in this bar. They had a live band which played oldies, and we were really amused by the jokes that they flashed on screens all over the pub. We ordered a tower of Hoegaarden beer which I found to be surprisingly tolerable, because I normally hate beer.

After a while, we walked out, fully intending to go to a specific bar, but somehow ended up getting waylaid by Le Noir, after we were told that they had free entrance that night.

Now I’ve passed by Le Noir several times before, but have never set foot in it because always had a long queue and I got the impression that they charged an entrance fee. That night was an exception, I suppose.

We ordered a tower of Tiger beer and enjoyed guzzling it down while dancing to our hearts’ content. There was no live band, just really awesome dancey songs played by a DJ. We were so happy that a lot of people got attracted to our energy and danced along with us. It was here that we stayed the longest.

But we had to leave at some point because you can’t call it a pub crawl if you’ve only been to 2 pubs, right? I mean, what would Sherlock say? So we left and stumbled into Highlander, which was one of our favourite hangouts before.

There was a live band, which we love, so when we couldn’t find a free table, we just made our way right to the front, which was surprisingly empty, and started dancing and singing along with the band.

Again, we could not stay there forever, so we eventually exited and plopped down on a table at the pub right next door, which turned out to be Paulaner.

They had a happy hour promo, so since they didn’t have a beer tower, we just ordered a pint of beer for each of us. I forgot which brand it was, but it was so bitter that I wanted to puke when I drank it and could not finish my glass and somebody had to help me with it.

We also ordered a pork knuckle, which was really crispy and tasty. Yum!

After polishing everything off, we walked into the bar where they also had a live band and we danced one last time that night. 

Not everyone ended up being Sherlock-and-John-Watson-drunk, but one person did, and that was enough! It’s funny to watch drunk people’s shenanigans, isn’t it? At one point I was doubled over in pain from laughing so hard when she actually started running through the water fountains, pulling others along with her! They ended up getting their shoes wet. When we asked her why she did it, she said, “Because it’s fun!” while jumping up and down like a kangaroo. LOL.

Well she has a point, and she wasn’t the only one who had fun that night. But we were jealous of her, actually, and we said we’re all gonna follow her lead at our yearend D&D. So watch out, Singapore! 😀
