About About the place

Magazine 63 is a discreetly located cocktail bar in a row of older shop houses. Finding the entrance is part of the experience, often requiring guests to search for it. The interior is described as a blend of old and rundown aesthetics, creating a cool and Instagrammable atmosphere. The bar frequently features live music, particularly vocal duos, and is known for its creatively presented cocktails, often served in unique vessels like old jars. While the ambiance is highly praised, service can be slow, and some guests have noted that the cocktails, while visually appealing, may not always deliver on taste. The bar attracts a mix of locals and tourists, primarily in their 20s and 30s.
