The other two are Bar Kiharu at Orchard Plaza and Skinny’s Lounge at Boat Quay, which have yet to resume operations whenBell Bar, which opened in November 2018, has been closed for about eight months since Singapore went into partial lockdown in April due to the Covid-19 pandemic. “That sense of this new reality hasn’t really hit me yet.“But finally, I can open. Ever since they announced Phase Two , I’ve written to the authorities asking for an exemption because look at how small this place is I think it helped in being picked for the pilot.”
Every time customers leave, Mabel has to disinfect the space, which includes a countertop and a sofa area. She was told at 3pm on Monday that she would be able to reopen, she said, resulting in a bit of a rush to get things in order.
