This final October weekend in Singapore is all about adding a touch of whimsy to the mundane—whether it’s through art, design, or just a perfectly crafted cocktail. Wander through vibrant pop-ups from luxury giants, sip your way through inventive flavours, and discover spaces that blend creativity with everyday indulgence. From immersive installations by Hermès, Rolex, and Dom Perignon to a sleek new store from a homegrown label, these picks are all about experiences that spark curiosity, brighten your day, and make the city feel just a little more exciting. Treat yourself to a little inspiration with GRAZIA Singapore’s weekend guide.
Friday Night: Cool Off With Gelato And Cocktails At Mondo
This cosy spot on Amoy Street brings a sophisticated spin to classic iced treats. Mondo is a scoop shop, cocktail bar, and coffee shop rolled into one, housed in a retro-inspired space with marble tabletops and deep red leather booths. You’ll find a mix of classic flavours like hazelnut and pistachio, as well as more inventive blends perfect for the brave amongst us—think blue cheese with candied pear, or marsala poached figs. Mondo also goes one step further than most ice cream parlours by offering craft cocktails, boozy gelato floats, and coffee, lending itself to lingering conversations and laid-back nights. The fact that they keep their doors open late on Fridays and Saturdays is only the cherry on top.
Mondo is located at 92A Amoy Street, Singapore 069911.
Saturday Morning: Enjoy A Morning Gin Spritz With Roku And AIR CCCC
What better way to spend a weekend morning than sipping a craft cocktail under the sun on sprawling Dempsey lawns? For one weekend only, Air CCCC is partnering with Roku Gin to present a series of exclusive dining and drinking experiences spotlighting craftsmanship and connection. If you opt for a morning session, you’ll start at the Air tasting room with a guided, three-course brunch paired with Roku cocktails, head outdoors for a sweet treat at the pop-up café, and top off your morning with a bubbly gin spritz at the Fizz Bar. If you’re more of a night owl, the elegant dinner menu is equally enticing. The four course experience pairs hearty dishes like Spanish mackerel and Kampong chicken with Roku cocktails that have a local twist—think Peranakan gin sours and coconut ice-cream negronis.
The Roku Gin x AIR CCCC collaboration will run from 31 October to 2 November. AIR CCCC is located at 25B Dempsey Road, Singapore 249918.
Saturday Afternoon: Step Into The Technicolor World Of The Takashi Murakami And Dom Perignon Pop-up
Spend your Saturday afternoon immersed in art and bubbles at the Dom Pérignon x Takashi Murakami pop-up at Maison Garden. Murakami brings his signature smiley-flower motifs and bold Superflat aesthetic to limited-edition Dom Pérignon bottles and vibrant installations, transforming the space into a playful visual spectacle. Guests can also enjoy a curated culinary experience, with creative canapés from Burnt Ends and The Butcher’s Block paired with the Vintage 2015 and Rosé 2010 champagnes. It’s part art exhibit and part tasting journey, giving you a colourful, sensory way to spend a weekend afternoon.
The Dom Perignon x Takashi Murakami pop-up runs from 30 October to 2 November at Maison Garden, 13 Dempsey Road, Singapore 249674.
Saturday Night: Explore Time and Travel at the Rolex And Cortina Watch Exhibition
Paragon is partnering with Rolex to give us a peek into precision, craftsmanship, and history this weekend. The Rolex and Cortina Watch Exhibition at Paragon spotlights the GMT-Master, a timepiece that finds its roots in the golden age of aviation. The exhibition traces the watch’s history through sleek displays and archival storytelling, exploring how the GMT-Master became a symbol for travel and connection across time zones. It’s a worthy stop for more than just horologists—anyone with an appreciation for design will find something interesting to linger on in the carefully crafted space.
The Rolex and Cortina Watch Exhibition runs from 24 October to 2 November at Paragon, Level 1, Main Atrium, 290 Orchard Road, Singapore 238859.
Sunday Afternoon: Discover the Art of Silk with Hermès’ Immersive Experience At Marina Bay Sands
Few brands shape luxury and craftsmanship into a narrative with as much finesse as Hermès. Their silk carrés are famed for their ability to bring an entire world to life in a slip of fabric—so it’s only fitting that the maison is elevating its signature storytelling into an immersive pop-up experience. Held at Marina Bay Sands, Hermès’ The Silky Way installation celebrates the brand’s heritage of silk craftsmanship through interactive zones, colourful displays, and behind-the-scenes glimpses at design techniques. You can explore the textures, patterns, and artistry that go into each scarf, all while ensconced in the luxe and whimsical world of Hermès.
The Silky Way runs from 23 October to 5 November at Marina Bay Sands, Event Plaza, 10 Bayfront Avenue, Singapore 018956.
