First Take: Big Easy at Resorts World Sentosa

Listen, people. Here’s a potentially awesome new haunt for live music and dancing!

We’ve read about it in the Straits Times article that listed the Big Easy as a New Orleans / Cajun-themed bar. Intriguing! So last night JUYL decided to recce the Big Easy and see what’s in store.

The bar is the first in a row of eateries at RW’s Festive Walk area, just opposite the entrance to Universal Studios. The atmosphere was pretty comfy and relaxed, with a bar on one side and dining area on the other, and photos of Louis and Ella on the wall. And of course we posed:

Ta Dah! Soon this place will be Swingin!

So about the music. There was no band yet, but conversations with the manager revealed that a band from New Orleans that promises “friendly jazz” will start playing on 1 May 2010. They’re scheduled to play Wednesdays-Sundays from 8.00-11.00pm.

We’re not sure yet what brand of Jazz the band will be playing but looking at the restaurant’s theme I sure hope it’s traditional Jazz.  While we were there the ambiance music were mostly Lindy-friendly! A good sign if it indicates in any way the music we can expect from the band!

The dancefloor is cement and a little rough but not entirely undanceable. And we swingers will definitely smoothen it out in no time 😉 The bar is also willing to clear some of the tables for dancing space around the stage if things get hot.

Maybe we should pay the band a visit on their first night there and liven up the place with some swinging!
