If you want something low-key, there are a few decent hawker centres within walking distance – the food is amazing and you'll definitely find a mix of people there, including scientists probably winding down after work. They're not exactly hidden gems, but they offer a much more authentic Singaporean experience than anything you'd find in the Biopolis buildings themselves.

You'll likely find a more international crowd there, but you might stumble upon some Biopolis folks looking for after-work drinks. It's a bit of a gamble, but you never know who you might meet!
