Clemenceau's Bar Singapore

I had an interesting experience at Clemenceau's Bar located at the Holiday Inn Parkview Hotel in Singapore. Holiday Inn is located in the heart of Orchard Road which is one of the main entertainment regions of Singapore.

Clemenceau's Bar has a live performance by a duo every day except Sunday. The bar has a good PA system including (what seemed to be) two Bose 802 Series II speakers. The duo performing their uses quite a bit of equipment including three electronic keyboards and wireless microphones. The drinks menu at the bar is impressive for a bar of that size, and the atmosphere is very layed back, yet with plenty of freedom for people to have a dance.

On Fridays, the bar is open until 1 AM, so my relatives decided to take me their after treating me to a very satisfying late dinner at the Tandoor North Indian Restaurant located at the Holiday Inn. At the bar, the duo were playing tunes ranging from oldies to modern pop music, and they seemed very passionate about their music, getting the crowd involved every few minutes. Soon enough, a dance group of around ten people formed, but what was most surprising was that the dance group was led by the bar manager! It seemed like he was having as much fun as everyone else!

Out of all the hotel bars I have been to, I have never seen one with so much character. Staff at Clemenceau's Bar pay such close attention to detail and put in a lot of hard work to give their customers a very lively experience. For example, the performers are selected after an audition process, they are advertised at the lobby and lifts, the music is changed to suit the crowd, each customer is individually welcomed into the bar, and the performers and bar manager gets the crowd involved very affectively by showing the crowd their passion for music.

And from what I've seen, their Latte is not bad either.
