Planning for a Solo Night Out at HighHouse
In Singapore’s fast-paced life, setting aside an evening just for yourself can feel like a rare gift. From sipping a cocktail as the sun sets to lingering over dessert without rushing, it’s a precious opportunity to recharge, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. Join us as we explore the essential ingredients for the perfect solo date at HighHouse, from self-care evening rituals to after-hours indulgences.
1. Start With a Pre-Date Ritual That Grounds You
The best solo dining experience starts before you even step out the door. Ease into the evening with a ritual that helps you transition from the everyday into something special. This could be an “everything shower”, a favourite playlist as you get ready, or ten minutes of stillness without screens. By setting aside time to ground yourself, you create the headspace for presence and enjoyment.
2. Dress With Intention and For Yourself
On a solo date, the audience is you. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t dress up—it means you have the freedom to wear something that makes you feel confident and at ease. Whether it’s a sharp, tailored look or something relaxed and effortless, your outfit sets the tone for the evening and helps you slip into the mood of self-celebration.
3. Ease Into the Night With an Aperitivo Moment
When you arrive, ease into the evening with an aperitif. At HighHouse’s cocktail bar and restaurant, this could be anything from a crisp glass of Champagne to a thoughtful zero-proof creation. Choices like the Mary of the Sea—a Belvedere vodka cocktail with clarified tomato and celery—or the citrus-bright Triple Lime Sling set the mood for quiet reflection as daylight slips into violet skies above Marina Bay. It’s the perfect opening act for your solo date: unhurried, atmospheric, and full of promise.
4. Savour a Meal That’s Just Yours
The beauty of having a luxurious night out alone lies in being able to indulge yourself without negotiating preferences. At HighHouse, you can take yourself on a culinary journey inspired by Pacific Coast flavours. Begin with the signature HighHouse Garden Salad or turn up the heat with Padron Peppers tossed in a house-made Tom Yum spice mix. For mains, savour the Duck Rillettes Pasta—Mafaldine ribbons coated in a rich double mustard sauce—or opt for That Expensive Indomie They Told You About, topped with miso foie gras and decadent garnishes. Finish things off with the Potato Basque Cheesecake for a sweet yet earthy finale. Don’t forget to elevate your meal by choosing from an extensive selection of wines. It’s a menu designed to let you linger, savour, and fully embrace the joy of dining on your own terms.
5. Linger After-Hours, Without Rushing Home
The best part of a solo date is that there’s no curfew. After dinner, let the night stretch at your pace. You might return to our night bar for a cocktail like the meditative Red Date Reverie—reimagined from the traditional Daechu-cha—or the elegant Sticky Mango Highball. If you’d rather wander, take in HighHouse’s art collection—seamlessly woven into its interiors—with works by renowned artists all over the world. This after-hours linger is a reminder that solitude is expansive, full of possibility, and deeply personal.
Turning Solitude Into Something Beautiful
In a city brimming with energy, taking yourself on a solo date is one of the purest forms of self-care. From savouring an aperitivo to lingering at a rooftop restaurant that glows above the CBD, the night is entirely yours to define.
At HighHouse, music, art, and cuisine come together seamlessly—curated beats, captivating installations, and refined flavours paired with crafted cocktails or fine wine. Whether you choose the intimacy of a plush booth or the drama of a window seat overlooking the skyline, we’ll leave you with a night that feels both memorable and entirely your own.
