OVERVIEW

The Fifty8 Café & Bar establishment spans two levels, each offering a distinct experience. The ground floor features a lounge-style setting where guests can unwind in a vibrant atmosphere, further enlivened by live band performances on weekends from 8:00 PM onwards. This level also houses Private Room 1—an intimate space accommodating up to 14 guests, ideal for small, private gatherings.

Upstairs, the first floor presents a quieter and more refined dining environment. It includes Private Room 2, which can host up to 22 guests, as well as a balcony dining area that offers a pleasant semi-open-air experience. One of the café’s most distinctive highlights is its outdoor extension, aptly named "The Other Half.” This unique space evokes a beach-like setting, furnished with a mix of high tables and camping-style outdoor seating, and can accommodate up to 100 guests.

Complementing this area are four charming gazebos designed for dining, each fitted with classic Belian wooden tables and ceiling fans for added comfort. The front gazebo is designated as a smoking area and is beautifully set against the backdrop of a serene carp fish pond. Additionally, the café offers a spacious on-site car park, ensuring convenience for its patrons.

AMBIENCE

Fifty8 Café & Bar embraces a dual café-and-bar concept. The space offers an ambience that is both relaxing and socially engaging—equally suited for leisurely brunches, casual meet-ups, productive work sessions and lively gatherings. The café adopts a modern contemporary aesthetic, seamlessly blending natural light that filters through transparent tempered-glass roofing and expansive windows. This is complemented by lifestyle-driven décor, carefully selected furnishings, and touches of greenery, all of which contribute to a welcoming and refreshing dining environment.

Meanwhile, “The Other Half” offers a distinctly different experience, designed around a beach-inspired concept. Featuring raw brick textures, glass block elements, patio umbrellas, and camping-style outdoor seating, this alfresco area creates a relaxed, open-air setting that reinforces the café’s easy-going, coastal vibe.
