From buzzy new openings to can’t-miss events, we’ve rounded up the best ways to make the most of the month—so grab your calendar and start planning.

‘AMORTAGE at Far East Malls’ Orchard Central pop-up concept store (5 March to 6 April) 

Far East Malls is shaking things up with the launch of Jisoo’s AMORTAGE pop-up concept store at Orchard Central. As part of the pop-up store’s opening, fans will be treated to an exclusive guest appearance by the singer herself on Friday, 7 March, where she will be gracing the opening of the store in person.

Taking over the ground floor, the first-ever AMORTAGE pop-up in the region is a dreamland for JISOO stans and anyone looking for a next-level K-pop experience. Designed like a cinematic wonderland, the space features immersive rooms inspired by her latest mini-album. 

Of course, no pop-up is complete without exclusive merch. Pick up four limited-edition versions of the ‘AMORTAGE’ album or collectables featuring JISOO’s adorable, hand-drawn character, SHUMON. Must-haves include the JISOO ‘SHUMON’ Plush Keychain, plus the JISOO Phone Pop-up Grip and Baby ‘SHUMON’ Cushion.

And just when you think you’ve seen it all, a fresh drop lands on 11 March—featuring sleek ‘AMORTAGE’ JISOO T-Shirts and JISOO Notebooks that come with three Polaroid photocards.

The ‘AMORTAGE at Far East Malls’ pop-up concept store is located at Orchard Central, 181 Orchard Rd, Singapore 238896

The reopening of Tanjong Beach Club 

After months of anticipation, Tanjong Beach Club is back—bigger, bolder, and ready to make waves. Expect refreshed interiors, a revamped menu led by Chef Mong Zhen Yew (ex-Osteria Mozza, Spago), and wood-fired coastal cuisine that takes beachside dining up a notch.

Drinks get a glow-up too, thanks to Cat Bite Crew (the masterminds behind Potato Head Bali’s bar programme), serving up vibrant cocktails perfect for sun-drenched lounging. And with Yeti Out curating a killer soundtrack of nu-disco, house, and global beats, the party never stops.

Tanjong Beach Club is located at 120 Tanjong Beach Walk, Singapore 098942

The Guinness Experience (27 February to 9 March) 

Guinness is kicking off the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations early, and they’re inviting you to join the fun—on them. Their latest pop-up, set up right outside Mandarin Gallery, is all about bringing people together over great drinks, good vibes, and a little friendly competition. And yes, that means a complimentary half-pint of Guinness Nitrosurge to get things started.

But the experience goes beyond just the pour. Expect a lineup of interactive games, from the Cup Marching Game, where you’ll have to find someone with a matching cup, to the Raise The Roast Challenge, which is basically a test of who can shout “Sláinte!” (Irish for “cheers”) with the most enthusiasm. There’s also an Irish Telephone Photo Booth, because no great night out is complete without a few snapshots with friends.

If you play your cards right (and win), you could score exclusive Guinness merch—just in time for their St. Patrick’s Day Street Festival from 14 to 16 March at Boat Quay. And as a bonus, you’ll also get an exclusive preview of Guinness’ collab capsule collection with local designer and FOAM founder Esther Goh.
