If you're itching for some nightlife activity this long weekend – similar, oh, somewhere to take your date on Valentine's Day – there'southward a newly-opened, steampunk-inspired bar and lounge in Tanjong Pagar.
Rails is inspired by the now-closed Tanjong Pagar Railway Station and Jinrikisha Station, a historical landmark that once served as a central depot for rickshaws.

The bar is envisioned as a railroad train platform with a steampunk twist, inspired by the adventures that travellers would embark on at the iconic Tanjong Pagar Railway Station.
The entrance is fashioned like a vintage elevator shuttered with steel scissor gates as a prelude to the journeying ahead. Stepping inside, guests are instantly transported into a Victorian-era undercover railway reminiscent of the iconic Platform 9 ¾ of the Harry Potter series, especially singled-out with a concave tunnel wall that makes up the bar.
Accentuating the steampunk aesthetic are a deconstruction of gears and cogwheels, repurposed planks of kampung wood and distressed trussers, reminiscent of beingness under a carriageway bridge.
Central fixtures include an LED installationof a steampunk clock belfry that forms the backdrop to the DJ panel; an elongated glass-panelled bar counter with exposed contumely pipelines; as well as a wall of repurposed sometime books.
Dotted around the space, guests can find a treasured assortment of curious inventions and long-forgotten vintage artefacts. The space is furnished with a textured mix of leather, wood and metal to evoke a vintage industrial appeal.
On the menu is an array of adventurous cocktails, such every bit the Jinrikisha Spritzer (S$18), a medicinal take on the gin spritzer with a traditional rejuvenation of firm-made honey-fermented lemon, preserved lime peel and coconut water.
The Clockwork Sago (S$16) is a nod to the nearby Sago Lane and a boozed iteration of the nostalgic Bubur Cha Cha, made with tequila, taro, pineapple juice and coconut water topped with sago pearls and peanut powder.
Inspired by the namesake book, Murder On The Orient Express (S$25) is a dark potion with an caused, liquorice lace of absinthe, java liqueur, pear, pineapple and orange juice shaken with activated charcoal.
While you sip on cocktails, chow downwardly on gratifying bites by Chix Hot Chicken. The carte du jour includes the Soul Slider (S$8.xc), which features tempura-dilapidated boneless craven thighs drenched in smoky paprika and mayo sauce and coriander slaw, The Pepperjack (South$nine.ninety), topped with peppery Monterey Jack cheese with yuzu sauce, as well as an assortment of sandwiches, wraps and sides like chicken wings, murphy tots and fried chicken bits.
