Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer at Marina Bay Sands is ushering in a bold new chapter with the launch of the CrazySundae — a new signature dessert that pays homage to the nostalgia of classic ice cream sundaes while representing the next evolution of the brand’s CrazyShake concept. As the brand enters its eighth year in Singapore, it also unveiled a new 38-seat alfresco dining space.
Black Tap’s New Alfresco Space
Before diving into the food, the newly unveiled alfresco area immediately caught our eye. Designed to accommodate both daytime dining and breezy evening gatherings, the open-air space seats 38 diners. Nicely sheltered from the elements, the space is equally enjoyable rain or shine, making it a reliable choice for any occasion.
Pawrents can also visit Black Tap with their furkids in tow as this space is pet-friendly.

The Spread
Ahead of the main festivities, guests were served a selection of starters: Queso and Chips, Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Fried Mozzarella ($15 each), and an off-menu kimchi-flavoured popcorn.
The All-American Burger ($23), juicy and cooked to a perfect medium, was well-received, as was the BT Fish and Chips Sandwich ($25) — the latter slipped past us unfortunately and is firmly on the list for the next visit.
The CrazySundae Lineup
The highlight of the evening was, without question, the world debut of three CrazySundae flavours. The unveiling was made even more entertaining by an interactive segment: three pairs of guests were invited on stage, with one from each pair tasked with guessing the flavours blindfolded.
It was a genuinely engaging moment that built anticipation before the sundaes were revealed in full. Featuring towering scoops of ice cream crowned with over-the-top toppings, each creation takes its cues from the beloved CrazyShake, reimagined in sundae form. The three varieties — Hella Hot Fudge, Cherry Bomb, and Bangkok Banana Crunch — each bring a distinct personality to the table.
The Hella Hot Fudge sundae is a decadent creation for those who enjoy a touch of heat with their sweetness. Vanilla ice cream forms the base, layered with flourless chocolate cake, spiced peanut brittle, and candied peanuts, drizzled with spicy hot fudge sauce and topped with whipped cream and a cherry. The interplay between the rich chocolate elements and the warmth of the spiced fudge makes for a bold combination.
The Cherry Bomb sundae is a tribute to the classic combination of cherries and cream. Slices of cherry pie, crunchy pie crumble, and whipped cream are piled atop vanilla ice cream, with sour cherry sauce and maraschino cherries adding tartness and colour. It is retro in the best sense — familiar yet elevated.
Rounding up the lineup is the Bangkok Banana Crunch. Drawing inspiration from Bangkok — the heart of the Land of Smiles — this sundae certainly lives up to its roots. Vanilla ice cream is paired with fried bananas, banana pudding, corn flakes, and banana crunch, then finished with dulce de leche sauce and topped with a cherry. The result is a sundae that is simultaneously tropical, textured, and deeply satisfying.
The Evening’s Energy
Black Tap pulled out all the stops for the CrazySundae launch. The New Heights dance crew delivered a vibrant performance, while local DJ Nash.D kept the energy high with his hip-hop inspired set.
The evening was made all the more memorable with thoughtful gifts to take home: guests left with a personalised tulip glass engraved with their names, and a photobooth on-site ensured there were plenty of lasting memories captured.
Our Verdict on the Alfresco Space & CrazySundae Lineup
Black Tap is the perfect place to bring the whole family or a group of friends. The portions are generously sized and very much made for sharing, something we noted in our previous visit.
The new alfresco space only adds to its appeal as a social dining destination, and the CrazySundae® lineup showcases the brand’s continued ability to surprise. Come hungry, come with company, and come ready to share.
Previous Black Tap Review by Lester Ng
It was finally on the third attempt that we managed to make our way into Black Tap Singapore at Marina Bay Sands. The previous two times, we had arrived a little too late and were put off by the super-long queue outside the restaurant.
As the family settled down at the table, we were greeted by the friendly server and handed the menu. Originally from New York City, Black Tap is infamous for its stacked gourmet burgers and over-the-top milkshakes.
We decided to go with the Fried Mozzarella ($14) for starters and the All-American Burger ($22), the Pizza Burger ($22) and the award-winning Greg Normal ($26) for the mains. The burgers come served with French fries by default, but we chose to substitute the fries on two of the burgers to onion rings for an additional $3 per order.
Black Tap Singapore Food
The Fried Mozzarella came dusted with cheese and a bowl of chipotle tomato sauce.
The main attraction was the arrival of the burgers. These were American-sized portions, served open-faced with a generous heap of fries or onion rings on the side.
Black Tap Singapore’s All-American Burger featured a prime burger patty dressed with lettuce, tomato, American cheese and a special sauce.
The Greg Norman had a thick wagyu beef patty with blue cheese and buttermilk-dill. It was topped with a healthy serve of arugula.
Perhaps the most intriguing was the Pizza Burger. This Black Tap burger had a zesty tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella and shaved parmesan. The combination of sauces and cheese confused our pallet with its pizza-like taste.
Another highlight of the meal was the super-sized onion rings. We love onion rings but still struggled to get through them, not because they didn’t taste nice – they were delicious – but because of the sheer quantity.
Black Tap Singapore also serves a variety of craft beers to go with the burgers.
Black Tap Milkshakes: For Those With a Sweet Tooth
The other big draw at Black Tap is the milkshakes. The protocol at Black Tap is that once you order the milkshake, it will be delivered immediately. We saw this wisdom of this when it came time for us to order the milkshakes after we were done with our burgers. By the time we were done having the burgers, we could only manage one milkshake.
We had the Cake Shake which came with a slice of cake sitting on top of a tall glass of thick creamy milkshake. The cake had fondant (which we didn’t particularly like), nonetheless, on the whole, we would describe the milkshake as delicious but decadent.
Black Tap Singapore is a place to go to if you are craving juicy American-style burgers (and portions) and willing to splurge to give yourself a treat for a special occasion. Next time around, what we’d probably do differently is to wise-up and share the food instead.
Oh, and remember to go early too.
