October is the season of spooks and the folks of Singapore’s leading F&B, lifestyle and entertainment group, 1-Group are set to activate a series of intentions for all manner of Halloween revelries as part of its ongoing initiative to heighten experiences across key outlets.
Titled “The Cauldron” to reflect the mish-mash of experiences at 7 of its key venues, diners and thrill seekers can look forward to a trove of sinful indulgences from cosy cafe and dining comforts, heady Halloween-themed concoctions for pre-party highs, to Beautiful Creatures, an all-out party of sirens and headbangers in Yang Club at Riverhouse.
THE HAPPENING: “BEAUTIFUL CREATURES” AT YIN BAR & YANG CLUB
Taking reference from Greek mythology and its adjacence to the Singapore River, the multi-concept Riverhouse is set to be transformed into a murky cavern for ‘Beautiful Creatures’ – a 2-night Halloween programme centred around sirens and entrancing sounds.
Eery seduction is the theme and across both nights, revellers and pre-party drinkers can start their night at Yin Bar with Siren’s Lagoon Cocktail ($21++) for a spellbinding, fruity concoction of tequila, blue curaçao, peach liqueur, fresh lemon and cranberry juice; or fuel up with 1-for-1 cocktails at $35++ for any choice tipple from a selection of 27 classic tipples against a sing-along roster of live performances through the night.
Amping up the action later in the night at Yang Club, resident DJ Sherpa, Big M and Kidd Royale, alongside celebrity guest DJ UBERJAK’D will be on deck duties dishing out an all-night mayhem of Electro House, Future Bass and Big Room for those seeking to let loose on the Halloween eve weekend. To bring Beautiful Creatures to life, attendees can expect to be haunted by talents dressed as Sirens lurking about both venues for photo opportunities.
In a bid to incentivize partygoers to come in theme for the Halloween weekend, a Best Dressed Competition will reward the most far out and deviously dressed with attractive prizes to be won including a bottle of Moet Chandon Brut Champagne.
Date(s): 28 & 29 October
Entry at Yang Club (29 October): $50 with 2 premium housepours

THE CONCOCTIONS – HALLOWEEN COCKTAILS
In anticipation for Halloween, the folks at 1-Group have rallied their bartenders across key drinking hotspots to create cocktails centred around “The Cauldron” theme from now till 31st October.
Zorba The Greek Taverna
In line with its Greek inspiration is a godly trio of Hades x Poseidon x Zeus Cocktails ($45++ for 3) for a smashable, fruity trinity in shades of blackcurrant, orange and blue curaçao that pair perfectly with its wide selection of Greek staples, and comes with a surprise dessert for an added treat.

TXA Gastrobar
Under the moonlight terraces of TXA Gastrobar at Alkaff Mansion is an Addam’s Family inspired Luna Llena cocktail ($18++), a black-tinged tipple of gin, passionfruit puree, banana liqueur and fresh lemon juice to invigorate palates between charred meats, seafood and classic tapas with an unsuspecting tropical profile.

1-Arden
Over at the garden metropolis of 1-Arden, black is the theme at Sol & Luna with a trinity of black libations ($12 nett) – Black Spell for a vodka-based refresher with a hint of coffee liqueur; Black Galaxy for a fun, edible pearl-dusted variant of martini; and Dracula’s Kiss, a tequila sour adaptation that seduces with frothy sips of pineapple and lime.
Those preferring to lounge at Arden Bar after work can opt for Magic Potion featuring a floral and pleasing mix of gin, lychee liqueur, passionfruit, lemon and a tint of blue pea flower; or Spooky Pumpkin for a yellow glow of tequila infused with pumpkin, grand marnier, and orange juice that comes at $18++ per glass, or $35++ as a duo.

1-Atico
Elsewhere at the penthouse of 1-Atico across FIRE, FLNT and Atico Lounge, drinkers who are game for a spiff of Halloween can sip on Sacred Potion ($18++) that mixes a quartet of lychee, cranberry, lemon and strawberry syrup with blue curaçao and vodka for a fruity but dizzying tipple, while Skulls & Tears ($18++) offers a refreshing fizz of Aperol, rum, thyme and lemon.
Those looking to rile up their company can order Breaking Bad ($50++) that serves up a tray of 10 red, green and yellow shots with corresponding flavours of berry, melon and pineapple to chase celebration or pre-party highs.
THE PLATES – HALLOWEEN DISHES
As the lifestyle and F&B group with the largest portfolio of dining concepts in Singapore, it goes without saying that Halloween specials will spill over with dining specials.
Wildseed Café
Over at the daytime escape of Wildseed Café (Alkaff Mansion & Summerhouse), families and café enthusiasts can catch up over Smoked Chicken Pizza ($26++) with toppings of barbequed chicken shreds, roasted pumpkin and a web of balsamic cream that culminates into cheeky, cheesy and Halloween-appropriate slices perfect for sharing.
Bringing spookiness to daytime drinks as well, diners can delight themselves with a Charcoal Latte ($6++) or Charcoal Shake ($10++) at Wildseed Café Alkaff Mansion for activated charcoal laced perk of caffeine or matching ice cream shake for the kids.

MONTI
Rounding off the slew of spooky specials is a Halloween dessert at Monti – the Italian cuisine gem located at the stunning Fullerton Pavilion. Conceived as a wicked forest floor of sweets, the Spooky Cannoli ($28++) is as haunting as it is delightful with its medley of dark chocolate, chocolate ganache, buffalo ricotta cheese, burnt orange and salted caramel sauce on a bed of misty, vanilla snow that is best eaten with all elements in tow for icy and crumbly textures.
