The art... no... The Style of Efficiency!

Post Office Opens Swanky Bar!


I have to blog about this. Our local post office is very close to the famous, the stylish, Orchard Road shopping area of Singapore. The post office had been under renovation for some time and the renovations are complete. What was once a quaint, mostly-empty local post office, is now a small, modern post office with a full-service bar attached!
And this is not just any bar. This is a Chivas Regal scotch bar with valet parking!


No, this is not a beer-induced fantasy, this is SingPost's attempt to make their operations more profitable. So if the government has given you land and building space, you better make the most of it! SingPost actually rents out some of their larger spaces to tenants in an effort to trim operating costs and attract younger customers. I love this Singapore.




You can read about here, but see the pictures for yourself.

  1. Wow, I love this idea! After leaving the US Post office, I'm usually furious having spent excrutiating amounts of time there.... and need a drink. :-) Makes perfect sense to me to do that here in the US! ~Frocket
