Tantric Bar

Location Icon

78 Neil Road, , Singapore, 88841

The most popular gay bar in Singapore. Tantric gets very busy on Friday and Saturday nights with party boys who down a few cocktails before heading to Taboo.

The great combination of sights, sounds and reasonably-priced drinks (e.g. double-shot house pour for SGD10/glass) makes the open-air courtyard and indoor bar a great place to start your night out.

Weekday: 20:00 - 03:00

Great Bar

Great bar with very decently priced drinks. The cute guy and blonde girl who served me inside the bar were lovely. You get to meet a lot of people here which is great! Will be back again soon.

Why bother?

Place is alright but the bouncer is a real piece of work. I go to a bar to have fun not because I want a bouncer to start yelling at the customers. So many other places with more zazazu....why bother with this one?

Horrible new managemt

The new manager is very rude and screams at customers for no apparent reason. It used to be a friendly place and I would often bring my overseas guest but after numerous times of my guests being treated rudely, our group no longer visit. It's a shame since I've been their loyal customer for more than 10 years

friendly

The staff, the owners and members are all friendly. Some became friends of mine. The action is fast here - just touch anyone and the fire sparks. You can either watch or participate.

Great place

Honestly I have no clue why there are so many negative reviews. Went here alone and the atmosphere is excellent to meet new people, staff is very nice, had a great evening. Drinks are expensive but that’s just Singapore being Singapore

cleanliness

When it comes to cleanliness I recommend Club Bath, but expensive when it comes to room rates. The place is smaller than other bath houses and there are only few free rooms.

Not Overcrowding at ALL

Hi Anonymous, We have 16 years in business by Backstage Bar and Tantric Bar of 13 years. Singapore government is very strict on overcrowding bars and clubs. You have no reason to worry about your safety in our vastness of bars as we span across 3 units along Neil Road. Why are you worried for capacity something so specific, are you a new player that leaves fake reviews?

Still the best gay bar in Singapore

After reading all the negative review I was cautious whether to go to Tantric Bar. I went there just to see how bad it is. But it turned out to be one of my best gay bar experiences. I asked the cashier or the person in charge why all the bad reviews, he just laughed it off saying, could be all fake reviews due to jealousy. I'll definitely go back to Tantric Bar during my next visit!

Give the widest berth possible

I visited Tantric Bar last Saturday. The staff were exceptionally rude and the Manager was totally over the top. Spend your money elsewhere.

below expectation

Went here few months a go. Locker area was pretty small compare to 9M. The facilities are not that great. The whirlpool was not hot enough, the shower was not powerful, the movie had a bad picture quality, etc. I don't think it was worth the price. The only good thing was the concept itself. Too bad the the output wasn't good enough. Need a lot of improvement.

nice place in "safer" surrounding

Went here last week on Sunday evening. The location is in a complex with several straight saunas and massage places, that's why I feel it is in safer surroundings, unlike its competitor - the one located surrounded by regular houses. The place is still pretty new and had only been opened for several days. Everything still nice and hopefully they can maintain this place well to keep everything tidy.

Unprofessional staff

We came in early and we were seated in the table by the male staff. While waiting for our 2nd round of drinks, the female staff asked us to leave the table saying that the table was reserved. When I asked what were we going to do with the 2nd drink if we were to leave, she rudely told us that we could finish the drink in some areas of the bar. Very unprofessional!

Arrogant staff

Nicely decorated bar but that is it. The waiter is so arrogant and unfriendly that we decided we would go somewhere else after having just one drink. I now totally agree with all other negative reviews, the waiters ruining the vibe. What a shame: worst experience in Singapore.

Great ambience

Located in a traditional Korean building. While the façade is of a traditional feel, Poten's interior is modern. Simply love the fusion feel! Check out their rooftop bar. Great view of Jongno.

Nice and cozy place

This place is nice and doesn't look like a gay bar to me (that's a plus point actually). First time i went here with my friend and I saw a few group of mix guy and girl. I didn't know it is a gay bar until my friend told me. The only thing I don't like is the smoking area. I move from sofa to outside sitting area and when I want to smoke, they said that I cant smoke on the table outside. Cmon, its an open area also. You told your guest to smoke near the entrance? Whats the difference?

Tourist trap

Just left after very obnoxious staff and very poor quality drinks. Avoid unless you are interested in going to a gay tourists trap!

Favorite sauna in Taichung

Easily reachable, very near Taichung Park, this place opens 24 hours. Doesn't need ID card, just pay NT$300 (anytime of the day) then you can use all facilities until they announce your locker number - about 24 hours. On the first floor; they have around 100 lockers, and the locker room also has mirror, hair dryer, and condom vending machine. They have Japanese style onsen, shower, dark steam room. Common room with sofas, TV, magazines, which provides free drinks and you can order simple meal. Next to the common room are 10 relaxing rooms. The second floor they have a smoking room and around 15 relaxing rooms. The third floor has internet room, karaoke room, seats, and around 10 relaxing rooms. Quite crowded on weekends, with all kinds of men and age. While only around 10-15 people on weekdays. They always do cleaning and lots of towel, so it was comfortable. However all the signs are in Chinese, so you need to explore if you can't understand the signs and information. You also need to do everything by youself (in using the facilities). NT$300 is a very good price for me, I come here often during my stay in Taiwan. It was a good experience.

Don't Bother!

As a visitor to SG this was my worst experience! When I arrived the staff were too busy talking and eating to bother with customers! Asked for a coke, was told it was $10, which I gave to the waiter, and was given a glass full of ice topped-up with coke. When I asked for the rest of the unused can, I was told they only sell it by the glass..... for $6!!!! So I then asked where was my change, and why did the waiter ask for $10??? This place is awful and has NO idea of service! Will never go again!

Disappointment

I visited the place late afternoon. Only a dozen people in there, mostly elders. The place is not very well kept at all. The space was reduced to just one floor instead of two. The shower area was used as storage as well.

Capacity?

I would be interested to see how many people Tantric is licened to hold and how many they actually pack in there on a Frday & Saturday night. I will go to Tantric but rarely on a Friday @ Saturday more for safety reasons.

Rushy massage in dirty surrounding

Based on the reviews I went in at 11.45. A bit too early as there was only one masseur available. He showered me while he stayed dressed. Soap fell on the dirty floor, he picked it up and kept on washing me with it. Small shower is disgusting and far from hygienic. I chose a 1,5 hour massage. My shower, his shower and again my shower were included in this time frame. The massage wasn't relaxing nor exciting as the guy Ken massaged me as if he had a train to catch. His English didn't reach more than the words 'you' and 'sorry'. The beds are mattresses which are not convenient for such a long time. At the end he got upset because I only gave him 25% tip. I would never go back there again.

Crowded

Very crowded on Saturday night, but had a great night out with friends. Reasonably priced drinks and we friendly enough staff, although it was a constant struggle to get to the bar. But there again, who want to go to a half empty bar?
