As promised, we’re back with Part 2 of our PDR edit. ICYMI, we’ve already covered private dining rooms for small, intimate occasions – and now, we’re moving on to medium-sized (or what we think of as medium!) and modular spaces, perfect for when the occasion calls for a bit more.

MID-SIZED SPACES for When You Need More – Views, Volume & Versatility
Good for group sizes of 10 to 100 persons 

Some occasions call for a bit more – more seats, more scenery and more flexibility. Just…more. Whether it’s a bigger family gathering, a corporate event, or a multi-format evening, these PDR options are designed for a bigger brief.

Red House Seafood
Five decades in the F&B scene. Three locations, each with its own distinct waterfront character. Generously portioned Nanyang-style seafood that has fed generations of Singapore families. Red House Seafood is an institution – and one that has thought carefully about how to host groups of all sizes. The waterfront views at each location aren’t incidental – they’re integral to the occasion.

Grand Copthorne Waterfront – Up to 30 pax (7 Private Dining Rooms)
There is something irreplaceable about a Singapore River dinner setting: the play of light on the water and the unhurried sense of a city that has history built into its banks. The Grand Copthorne Waterfront location sits right along Havelock Road, with expansive glass windows and double-volume arched ceilings that flood the main hall with natural light by day. But come evening, the riverside glow transforms the atmosphere entirely.

Red House Seafood Grand Copthorne Waterfront Private Dining Room

The interior itself is extraordinary: a contemporary Nanyang-style space designed by a local team with rattan and timber details, patterned mosaics, and bespoke wall prints commissioned from a local artist. On arrival, guests are greeted by a long entrance corridor, designed to build anticipation. This particular locale boasts 7 different rooms, making it the most flexible PDR option across the three locations.

Key USPs & Details to Note:

• Capacity – Up to 30 pax
• 7 private dining room options; the largest PDR offering across all 3 locations

Esplanade – Up to 14 pax (2 Private Dining Rooms)
Few places match the Esplanade’s grandiose sweep of Marina Bay – the theatres’ iconic “durian” shells and the CBD skyline included. With waterfront access at ground level, guests can move easily between the indoor space and the bayfront alfresco.

Red House Seafood Esplanade Private Dining Room

The two private rooms accommodate 10 and 14 guests respectively: intimate enough to feel considered, yet so well-positioned that the sense of place still shines through. An exclusive barbecue section in the menu – a fitting tribute to Singapore’s street culture – is unique to this location, adding another layer of occasion.

Key USPs & Details to Note:

• Capacity – Up to 14 pax
• 2 private dining room options; 10 pax or 14 pax
• Waterfront setting at Marina Bay, fronting the Esplanade and city skyline
• Location-exclusive BBQ menu section

Clarke Quay – Up to 14 pax (3 Private Dining Rooms)
Clarke Quay’s riverfront energy is unmatched – historic by day, electric by night. Red House Seafood's Clarke Quay outpost sits right in the middle of this energy – making it one of the most dynamic event settings of the 3 locations. That riverside backdrop adds a little something to every occasion, and three private rooms give groups the separation they need without losing any of the location's buzz.

Across all Red House Seafood’s 3 locations, the heritage brand’s cuisine anchors any occasion: especially their signature chilli crab, crab-shaped mantou, indulgently creamy custard prawns, and a showstopping Whole Roast Pig Stuffed with Crab Roe & Glutinous Rice. When the evening’s centrepiece is this strong, the event practically plans itself.

ALTRO Zafferano
There are restaurants with views, and then there is ALTRO Zafferano, a panoramic perch with serious views, poised at Level 43 of Ocean Financial Centre. This Italian establishment has been impressing Singapore's corporate and social set for over a decade, now with expanded and reimagined private event spaces that match the splendor of the address.

The vista over Marina Bay from this height is a sight to behold with a 270-degree sweep of the city's skyline, the bay, and the horizon beyond.

FLEXI & MODULAR SPACES – For Discretion, Adaptability and Varied Group Sizes
Good for group sizes of 6 to 24 persons

The most useful PDR spaces are often the most adaptable ones: rooms that can contract for a small private group, and expand for a larger gathering, sometimes within the same booking. And certain delicate events that need to be handled with a little more care – like hosting separate parties in a single session, without either crossing paths, for instance. These 3 venues deliver exactly that. 

******

Loca Niru
Set within the historic House of Tan Yeok Nee – one of Singapore's most beautifully preserved Teochew-style mansions – Loca Niru already has the kind of address that makes an impression before guests even sit down. The restaurant's 2 private dining rooms add practical elegance to that heritage backdrop.

Loca Niru Private Dining Room

The clever part: both rooms can be combined into a single dining room fit for 12 – the perfect arrangement for groups that need a touch more space without sacrificing the intimacy of a private setting. Whether it’s one group or two dining in parallel, Loca Niru offers the kind of thoughtful flexibility that makes event planning less fraught.

Key USPs & Details to Note:

• Capacity – Up to 12 pax
• 2 PDR rooms available, each with a 6 pax capacity
• Modular format, both rooms open up into one space of 12, or operate as two separate 6-pax rooms
• Set in one of Singapore's last surviving Teochew-style mansions, a gazetted National Monument
• Ideal for intimate dinners, parallel private bookings, occasions where the venue itself does the talking

Loca Niru
Address: House of Tan Yeok Nee, 101 Penang Road, #02-01

Bedrock Bar & Grill
Bedrock Bar & Grill is beloved for a reason: this is where steaks meet hospitality, in a setting that manages to feel simultaneously private and welcoming. The central Orchard Road address makes it a natural choice for business dinners and private celebrations alike.

Bedrock Bar & Grill Private Dining Room

The PDR seats 20 persons in full and can be split into two separate rooms for smaller groups – giving hosts the control to configure the space around their guest list and occasion. It's the kind of space that works hard: polished enough for a corporate event, warm enough for a birthday, and always underpinned by the quality food and attentive service that Bedrock is known for.

Key USPs & Details to Note:

• Capacity – Up to 20 pax
• Modular, can be divided into two separate rooms for smaller groups
• Highly central Orchard location, easy to access
• Ideal for corporate group dinners, casual to elevated celebrations, events fitting a premium steakhouse setting

Bedrock Origin
As the sister concept to Bedrock Bar & Grill, Bedrock Origin brings the group's signature approach to premium meats and convivial dining to the Sentosa coast – with all the charm of a resort setting. For a retreat feel without leaving Singapore, this is the address.

Bedrock Origin Private Dining Rooms Combined 

The PDR seats a maximum of 24 – a generous capacity for a space that still feels considered rather than cavernous. It can be configured into two rooms holding 14 pax and 10 pax, for events where different groups need a degree of separation or where the evening involves a more modular flow. The Sentosa location adds an unmistakable change of pace: slightly removed from the city's hum, with the ease that comes from a resort environment.

Key USPs & Details to Note:

• Capacity – Up to 24 pax
• Modular, splits into two rooms for 14 pax and 10 pax
• Relaxed resort ambience, removed from the city's busy pace
• Ideal for corporate retreats, multi-generational family events, events with a coastal, resort theme

Bedrock Origin 
Address: 23 Beach View, Palawan Ridge, #01-02, Oasia Resort Sentosa

************

The right PDR isn't just about the size of the room or the quality of the food (though both matter enormously). It's about choosing a space that does some of the work for you – where guests arrive and feel, immediately, that someone has thought carefully about this. From Michelin-starred chef’s tables to rooftop terraces and heritage mansions, Singapore’s PDR options are wide-ranging, with consistently high standards. All that's left is to decide what kind of evening you'd like to give your guests.

We trust this edit has made that decision considerably easier. But don’t go just yet! If you’ve got a small (or big) wedding coming up, stay tuned – there’s more to come.
