Bar Bon Funk

Enjoyed date night here. The interior was warm & welcoming. Lots of personal space for intimate conversations. Sit at the bar to watch your drinks bring made. We enjoyed fried chicken ($21, 3pcs), tuna tartare tart ($14, 2pcs) & miso eggplant on parmesan fritter ($12, 2pcs). Hot maple sauce didn’t do much for the fried chicken; the hot sauce created a different profile. Cocktails were interesting. Most priced @ $24 (6pm-7pm, selected cocktails @ $18). Would come back for more. We sampled mezcal-based Bad Habits (served with mini bottle of Tabasco sauce), tequila-based Soda Pop (similar profile to Long Island iced tea), & espresso-based +1 for Oats.

Bar Bon Funk is definitely a spot worth visiting in New Bahru. The cocktails are amazing, with beautiful umami flavours that make them really interesting and enjoyable. The food is delicious and perfect for sharing, so it’s a great place to come with friends. I also really enjoyed the atmosphere. The music is nice, and the place has a relaxed vibe without being too noisy, which makes it easy to enjoy your drinks and have a proper conversation. What really makes the experience stand out, though, is the service. The team is fantastic and makes you feel genuinely welcome. Great drinks, great food, a lovely atmosphere, and excellent service. Definitely a place I’d come back to!

the drinks were delicious and interesting in flavour combinations. nice twist to good classics. Appreciated the brief explanation into the creations and chatting with the bartenders. Food options were alright, tried the vegetarian lasagna. Liked the crispy sides of it. the popcorn and candied nuts were yummy! Thank you to the staff (Woodly?) who shifted us to the bar counter seats when they became available. Note for reservations: if you want to sit at the bar counter, you have to specify in the reservation. Choosing between bar or lounge seats is the matter of spaces in the bar. Bar seats don't directly mean bar counter seats which was the assumption I had. All the staff and bartenders (Collin, Keith and the last one guy) were friendly and easy to converse with, which is what makes our bar experiences every time we visit different bars.

Genuinely enjoyed our Sunday evening here. We just walked in and got a table. Exactly my type of place - tapas style eating + nice drinks. Will have to come back for the cocktails as we had their orange wine by the glass - which was lovely, and the pairing with the food was very fresh and light on the palate. The salad was super refreshing, love a place that uses mint in their salads. We also had the “bits and bobs” which were inventive aperitifs and super tasty (and served in this super cute bento ish pottery). The food was delicious and FAR from boring, but light enough to enjoy if you want a boozy night. The fried chicken was phenomenal. I think they deserve higher stars. Ambience was great, fantastic retro 50s-70s music, soul (think Nat King Cole, Three Sacred Souls), but it was at just the right volume so that we could have nice conversations without shouting (this is a real pet peeve of mine at other establishments). Lastly, the service was great. Food was served quickly, and they genuinely asked for feedback after the meal - apparently we just tried a new menu! We will be back! Reminded us of our favourite wine bars in Lisbon.

Bar Bon Funk!!! Food definitely blew me away as I thought they will be more specialised in cocktails. Turns out, I'll be back for the food more than the cocktails 😂😅 Must order food including Chips, Prosciutto, Pickles and Parisian Gnocchi, White Corn And Morels. Fried chicken and Tuna Tartare Tart - you can give a miss if you ain't that hungry as it was alright. Great service as I requested for the Cartoon Network cocktail and they mentioned it's not stated in the menu and by request only. Definitely brought back childhood memories :) Really chill vibes and nice place for a date night!
