Overtime Sports Bar
Overtime Sports Bar in Waterfront City caters to the sports-watching crowd with multiple screens running international football, Formula 1, and combat sports on rotation. The bar stocks a reasonable selection of draught and bottled beer alongside basic spirit options. Location close to the Waterfront City ferry terminal means it catches Singaporean visitors who want a beer and a game rather than a KTV session. Food covers bar basics: wings, fries, and grilled items.
What to Expect
A no-frills sports bar that delivers what it promises: cold beer, sports on screens, and bar food. The crowd is male-skewed and sports-focused. Conversation happens mostly during half-time. It is comfortable and the right choice if you want to watch a match rather than dance.
Boisterous during big matches, relaxed otherwise.

Insider Tip
Check the sports schedule before going. Big Premier League and Champions League nights pull the largest crowds. The bar can get loud and full during major matches. Arrive 30 minutes before kickoff to secure a seat with a clear view of the main screen.
Full Review
Multiple screens running international football, Formula 1, and combat sports define the experience at Overtime. The bar is built around sports viewing, and everything else, the beer selection, the food menu, the seating layout, serves that primary function. Draught and bottled beer options are reasonable, the wings and fries are adequate, and the main screen is large enough for the room.
The crowd is male-skewed and sports-focused, particularly on big match nights. Premier League and Champions League fixtures draw the largest numbers, with the bar filling 30 minutes before kickoff and emptying shortly after the final whistle. Between matches, the atmosphere relaxes into a standard bar with sports background noise. Conversation happens mostly during half-time. Service is functional.
In Waterfront City, Overtime fills the sports-bar niche that CJ's Bar and the Marriott lounge don't attempt. It's not trying to be a destination bar or a food venue. It's a place to watch the match with a cold beer, and it does that job without overcomplicating it. The proximity to the ferry terminal catches Singaporean visitors wanting a quick match-day fix.
Check the sports schedule before going. Arrive 30 minutes before kickoff for a seat with a clear view. Extended hours apply during major sporting events. Between matches, the bar functions as a quiet neighborhood spot.
