The expatriate heaven that Boat Quay is (SPGs, take note), the first place to stop over would definitely be The Penny Black, hands down, packed to the seams with Caucasians (English? American? Irish? - take your pick) the last few times we checked.

 

The Penny Black

W
e'll bet our money that they'd come flocking back to their usual haunt, shall we?

 

After all, you know what they say: home is where the heart is New Year's Eve sees customers getting free party hats and packs as they relive their inner child, blowing poppers and donning silly paper hats as the year draws to a close.

 

Bring some confetti and throw them if you deem fit - surrounded by people high in spirits and drowning in joy - and not to mention, lots of alcohol - we doubt anyone would really mind, would they?

 

...Nah, we don't think so; we're almost positive on that! Celebrating the festivities in true Victorian style.

 

And if ye be missing the Christmas cheer of ol' England, start a new tradition with Penny Black's White Christmas in December, with beer (of course), live music and free kamikaze laybacks.

The Penny Black

 

This place (bookending Boat Quay) was replicated from the original version in London and is distinctly English - EPL fans deck its tables to catch matches and its Victorian atmosphere provides ample material to imagine oneself in jolly ol' England.

 

Now, turn up the air-conditioning and suspend disbelief... White Christmas? Yeah.
