SWIG is a new craft beer bar inside Fortune Centre on Middle Road, the old-school mall between Bugis and Bencoolen that has quietly become one of Singapore's more interesting after-work drinking spots. Its pitch is simple: craft beer for everyone, good beer without any fancy rules, served in a relaxed and unpretentious setting under its cheerful crocodile mascot.
Word is that SWIG comes from the same team behind Upward Taproom on Club Street, so expect a thoughtful tap list from people who already know their way around the local and regional craft scene.
The bar sits in unit #02-25, a few floors below the building's established cluster of Japanese izakayas and beer spots, which makes it an easy addition to a Fortune Centre crawl. Bugis and Bencoolen MRT stations are both a short walk away.
SWIG is scheduled to open on 31 October 2026. Opening hours and the tap list had not been published at the time of listing, so check the bar's Instagram for the latest before you visit.
