Ah - dress codes. If you are wearing shorts after sports, a suitable place to stop for a cold drink is the drinking area of a Sports Club.
For example, the outdoors Sports bar on the ground floor of the Tanglin Club sports centre. Across the road from the main house with the fancy restaurants with their dress codes.
I have been going to the Tanglin for ages and never knew about this Sports bar. I knew about the upstairs indoor eating area. But not the outdoors one.

Just the place if you are a Singaporean used to tropical weather, or an Ozzzie who likes the outdoors and informal, casual clothing. Or a Brit who likes escaping from winter weather in the UK with year round summer clothing and outdoor dining and drinking.
I see tables and dining chairs, high tables and bar stools with backs, a canopy, and green parasols and greenery.
The Balut group's section of the club website refers to The Fireplace and The Wet Bar.
Across the road in the main building, The Wheelhouse, beside the swimming pool, is a place where adults and children can be dressed casually.
If, on the other hand' you are dressed up for a date night, where can you go?
For entertaining a guest somewhere elegant, you might prefer The Tavern, The Churchill Room, or upstairs the Tang Yun Chinese restaurant has a main area plus private rooms.
Many hotels and clubs offer a similar variety of dining options. I like to carry a long sleeved blouse and a sarong length scarf. Indoors the air conditioning is sometimes quite blowy. If you just had a shower, or a swim, have wet hair, you might find the air con chilly and a sarong gives you instant elegance.
