IN BAD COMPANY: Bold Flavours and Good Times at The Flow in Katong

Tucked away on the fifth floor of The Flow on East Coast Road, IN BAD COMPANY subverts the traditional gastropub model with cheeky wit and culinary chops. While the moniker might elicit curious glances, the space fosters genuine community, playful irreverence, and honest connection over hearty dining and thoughtful libations.

Unabashed Flavours and Craft Pairings

The kitchen takes an inventive approach to comfort dishes and izakaya-style bites. Signature small plates like the house-baked ciabatta arrive accompanied by a whipped Bloody Mary beef tallow butter—a rich, savoury spread that sets the tone for the meal. Seafood receives careful treatment in items like the Aburi Argentinian Red Prawns, torched to release aromatics before being layered with yuzu tiger’s milk, saffron and roasted prawn oil, tobiko, and crunchy ice plant.

Skewers form an integral pillar of the daily spread. Diners can mix and match selections ranging from classic chicken thigh satay and chewy abacus seeds to indulgent skewers of A4 Kyushu ribeye, olive flounder engawa, honeycomb tripe, and koji-aged wagyu. Heartier mains, such as the MBS 6–7 koji-aged wagyu rump cap with pomme purée and pepper berry salt, provide serious meat-focused satisfaction.

Craft Pours and Inclusive Shenanigans

True to its craft beer and wine bar identity, the beverage menu pairs seamlessly with the savoury, umami-laden food. Rotating taps and bottles showcase diverse brewing styles, from crisp pilsners to hop-forward IPAs, while wine enthusiasts will find thoughtful natural and classic vintages. Japanese highballs, particularly built around Nikka whisky, offer refreshing balance against grilled skewers. IN BAD COMPANY delivers a vibrant, welcoming dining nook where being in bad company feels wonderfully hospitable.
