We <3 HK Street!

They say that "good neighbours are hard to find" and that “surrounding ourselves with the right people is paramount to success in life”.

Luckily for Barre 2 Barre, HongKong Street is full of good “neighbours” and the right “people”. When founders Myléne and Jess chanced upon this homely street a stone’s throw away from the hustle and bustle of Clarke Quay, they immediately fell in love with the enclave’s unique vibe.

In this article, we highlight a few of our neighbours and why we are absolutely head over heels with the HongKong Street neighbourhood!

1.  Food, food… and more food!

If you’re looking for a comfy place to kick back at brunch, a nice cafe to catch up with friends, or a spot to refuel after a workout - you’re bound to find something at HongKong Street.

PUNCH, with its outdoor courtyard beautifully designed with green wall plants, serves a mean molten grilled cheese sandwich (served with tomato soup) and their iced chocolate packs a punch! Its sister cafe, Ronin, has a more dark and mysterious interior, but similarly serves up yummy breakfast fare (the BEST scrambled eggs!!) as well as amazing lattes. If Italian food is more your thing, head over to Bottega… you’re bound to fall in love with their pizza made with 100% Italian soft wheat blend and homemade tomato sauce. They also serve Italian beers, wine, and mineral water to complement your food! If you come to Barre 2 Barre, ask for a Barre 2 Barre sticker, which entitles you to a 10% discount at Bottega!

PUNCH is located at 32 North Canal Rd, Singapore 059288

Ronin is located at 17 HongKong St, Singapore 059660

Bottega is located at 31 HongKong St, Singapore 059670

2. Alternative watering holes

Looking for a new watering hole for those Friday night drinks? Getting bored of the same old clubs for Ladies’ night? Head down to HongKong Street! There are some great places to enjoy quality cocktails in Singapore without punching a hole in your pocket. Our personal fav is Vasco, a Spanish influenced bar, where you can enjoy $10 cocktails on weekdays (until 9pm).... just by wearing yoga pants! Other suggestions include Teepee and 28 HongKong Street.

Vasco is located at 42 HongKong St, 059681

TeePee is located at 31 HongKong Street #01-02, 059670

28 Hong Kong Street is located at (you guessed it!) 31 HongKong Street #01-02, 059670

3. Accommodation Galore

If you feel like you need a break but can��t afford the time to take a whole weekend away? HongKong Street is nestled with a host of staycation options that will allow you to unwind… without having to go too far! Check out BASE residences, a new city living concept In the heart of Singapore’s core. Here, a converted shophouse is home to 4 unique contemporary residences equipped with modern conveniences for the ultimate “home away from home” feel. If hotels are more your thing, be sure to check out Hotel Bencoolen as well as PARKROYAL on Pickering  which are less than a 10 minute walk away.

BASE Residences is located at 31 HongKong St, Singapore 059670

Hotel Bencoolen is located at 47 Bencoolen St, 189626

PARKROYAL on Pickering is located at 3 Upper Pickering St, Singapore 058289

4. Easily Accessible

HongKong street is located in the heart of the CBD district and easily accessible by car  (with both street parking and indoor parking by Riverwalk) as well as all modes of public transport. There are plenty of buses that stop close to the vicinity such as Bus 12 and 14. It is also just across the road from Clarke Quay MRT. If you feel like stretching your legs or warming up before class, you can also alight at City Hall MRT and enjoy a 15 minute walk down!

5. Sweat Fest!

Apart from Barre 2 Barre, there’s a host of other options in the area to jazz up your workout regime. If you’re looking to work up a sweat, head to Anthem Indoor Cycling across the street where you can spin your way to a toned booty (and enjoy amazing tracks at the same time). If you are rushed for time, check out Ritual Gym on North Canal Road.  They offer 30 minute HIIT/Bootcamp style classes that incorporate both cardio and strength training to make sure your busy schedule doesn’t get in the way of exercising. For something slightly closer to “home”, Yoga Movement on Carpenter Street has a wide array of yoga classes that are sure to leave you feeling stretched out!

Anthem Indoor Cycling is located at 66B South Bridge Rd, Singapore 058696

Ritual Gym is located at 11 North Canal Road, #03-01, 048824

Yoga Movement is located at 31A & 33A New Bridge Road, Singapore, 059394 (and other locations)

6. Interesting Finds

Hongkong Street is also home to a number of interesting concepts and finds! The Hive is one of Singapore’s co-working communities that is worlds apart from the corporate offices in the CBD. With its custom-made furniture, abundant light, open plan concept, and rooftop cafe - you are bound to feel comfortable and inspired at work. Just one level above Barre 2 Barre, Daniel Boey has also set up office. Dubbed as the “Godfather of Singapore Fashion”, we’re more than honored to share a building with him. Who knows? Come for barre classes, get toned, and maybe you'll land an audition!

The Hive is located at 59 New Bridge Rd, Singapore 059405

Daniel Boey is located at 42C HongKong St Singapore 059681

"The feeling of focused intensity in every class, where you forget about everything else; was something I enjoyed and what kept me coming back for more. To be able to share this with others and contribute in some way to improve the quality of their lives is what drives me to do my best as a teacher every day."- Jessica Felicia, certified BarreAmped teacher and co-founder of Barre 2 Barre Singapore. Influenced by classical and modern dance, combining orthopedic stretching with Pilates insights - BarreAmped sets itself apart from more traditional barre methods with its use of a neutral spine during the class, ensuring that posture is maintained. • • • #barre2barre #barre2barresg #barreamped #shaketochange #lovebarre #barre #bootcamp #barrebootcamp #barrebesties #barrebabes #barrebeauties #fitness #community #singapore #sgfitness #fit #healthy #happy #active #activewear #athleisure #fitfam #hongkongstreet #strongmindstrongbody #workhard #ohmyquads #lululemon #lululemonsg #barrelove #sgcommunity (at Barre 2 Barre Singapore)

What does barre give me? It gives me time to hit the pause button. 60 min. of freedom. To be present. To care for myself inside and out. To push myself and teaches me to not give up. To try harder. To really listen to my body and love it for all it's capable of. That's what barre does for me. • • • #lovebarre #barrekailua #morethanjustexercise #dontstoptillyoureproud #youdeservethebest #buildingmyempire #mahalo #supportlocal #seeyouatthebarre 📸: @honolulucreativemedia (at Barre Kailua)
