New in town: Halfpipe Skate Bar, Orchard — A coffee and skateboarding haven

There is nothing like being part of a club that shares your interests and makes you feel seen. If you are a skateboard enthusiast and bonafide coffee lover, Halfpipe Skate Bar is the place to be.

A new concept by The Ride Side, Singapore’s first own snowboarding company, Halfpipe Skate Bar is here for all things skate, snow, coffee, and best of all, craft beers. For those who are unfamiliar with skateboarding terms, a half-pipe is that U-shaped ramp that skateboarders often use to perform tricks, so this couldn’t be a better name for the cafe.

Not only that, Halfpipe Skate Bar is conveniently located at TripleOne Somerset which is about two shakes from Somerset Skate Park so you know where you can refuel after doing that killer acidrop.

For those who need their beans, Halfpipe Skate Bar boasts a variety of coffee drinks such as their Specialty Cold Brew (S$7 for White) or (S$8 for Black) while you browse through their cool collections of skates. If that’s not your cuppa tea, then the Halfpipe Skate Bar also has Kombucha (S$7) and Chocolate (S$5 for Hot, S$6 for Iced).

However, is you are looking for something a little cheeky and to celebrate you finally nailing that 180 Ollie, then you’ll have to imbibe in some of their Craft Beers. From their Off Day Beer (S$11), an IPA brewed in Singapore to their crowd favourite Stone Tropic of Thunder Lager (S$10), there is something for everyone.

Of course, when you are there at Halfpipe Skate Bar, don’t forget to check out their amazing retail selection. From an impressive array of cool and brilliantly designed decks, longboards, and skate wheels, it’s a space made for boarders by boarders, so if you or anyone loves to skate, this place should definitely be on the list.
