Xposé Bar

Xposé Bar (full name Xposé.Café.Bar.Restaurant but better known simply as Xposé) was a gay bar located in a shophouse at 208 South Bridge Road #01-01, Singapore 058757, just before the right turn into Mosque Street. Its telephone number was +65 6323-2466, mobile number 9842-7849 and fax number +65 6323-2404. It occupied exactly the same building as Utterly Art which was one floor above it.

Opening hours from Sundays to Wednesdays were from 6pm to 1am. On Fridays, Saturdays and on the eve of public holidays, they were from 6pm to 3am. Xposé had been around since 1998, evolving from a small quiet eatery into a 3-in-1 second home for its local and foreign customers. It was a gay-owned, laid back and unpretentious bar restaurant where all and sundry could feel comfortable in. It was like a second home for anyone seeking Prince Charming or looking for a nice, cozy place to dine with their dates.



It served authentic Thai food prepared by Chef Deang who had 20 years' cooking experience and who whipped up home-style dishes with a passion. Karaoke started after 8:30pm abetted by a great sound system to accompany one's crooning. It especially welcomed bears, chubs and their admirers. Regulars, who tended to be Chinese-educated, chatted on EFNET IRC, channel.

The management kindly allowed the organisers of IndigNation, Singapore's inaugural gay pride month in August 2005, free use of its premises to conduct the historic, first-ever public talk on homosexuality to be held in an indoor venue since Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's 2004 liberalisation of the rules governing these events (see main article: PM Lee Hsien Loong allows indoor talks to be held without a police licence, 22 August 2004. The lecture was entitled "Same sex love in classical Chinese literature" and was delivered to a capacity audience by Dr. Tan Chong Kee on 2 August 2005.
