Unlike its pricier counterpart, Slow Boat (Singapore's first vinyl listening cafe), Slowbytes offers a wallet-friendly alternative. Whether you're seeking a solo retreat, a romantic date, or a catch-up with friends, the warm ambience – think plush sofas, soft lighting, and calming tunes – sets the perfect scene for relaxation.
