Starting from the month of January 2013 until early April, Mint will have a new residency performing live at Outpost 903 Gastrobar on 903 Bukit Timah Rd, Singapore. From Outpost 903’s Facebook page:

Outpost 903 Gastrobar is inspired by the portmanteau culture of gastropubs in the UK, serving quality grub in a cozy bar where people connect. It’s a place for friends and families to eat, drink and be merry; a station away from the main forces in the city.

Outpost offers a good combination of old-fashion American and British bar menu classics with a Peranakan twist in some. Accompanying its food is the wide spread of beers (6 on tap with 3 being craft) and a long list of bottles, wines and many more.

Thanks to Witono from Outpost 903 and The Freestyle Photographer for the photo!
