What is Jigger & Pony? This bar is no stranger to those who love a good drink. As one of Singapore’s OG cocktail bars, Jigger & Pony was instrumental in shaping the city’s cocktail culture in its early days. Since then, the bar has become a near-permanent fixture on the Asia’s 50 Best Bars list.
Jigger & Pony’s convivial atmosphere is matched by an equally fun cocktail menu, with drinks priced at $28++ each. Come by during happy hour, however, and you’ll be able to enjoy a selection of cocktails for just $19++. While house creations such as Yuzu Whiskey Sour and Spicy Margarita dominate the menu, you’ll also find a fair few classics—think Old Fashioneds, Negronis, and Sours.
Expect to pay: $19-$28++ for drinks
What to order: Yuzu Whiskey Sour ($28++), Spicy Margarita ($28++)
What is Nutmeg & Clove? Singapore has plenty of top-tier cocktail bars, but very few of these are pioneering a mod-Sin approach to cocktails the way Nutmeg & Clove is. Ranked number 24 on the Asia’s 50 Best Bars list for 2025, Nutmeg & Clove’s cocktail menus are all love letters to Singaporean culture and history.
Their menu centres around Singaporean references, which makes it particularly charming. Some current drinks on the menu include the cocktails Temasek Ubah ($26) and Yeast Side Best Side ($26). Aside from being a fantastic spot to hang out on a Friday night, Nutmeg & Clove is also at the top of the list for spots we’d bring out-of-towners to.
Expect to pay: $26++ for a cocktail,

What is Komyuniti Bar & Restaurant? If you’re looking for inventive cocktails with a view of the bustling Orchard district, put Komyuniti on your list. Perched on the 10th floor of YOTEL Singapore Orchard Road, Komyuniti is all about craft cocktails that impress with unexpected flavours.

The cocktails here start from $23++, with options such as KOMpliment Butterfly, a pea flower-infused gin withviolet liqueur, lemon, flower perfume, and fake egg white. There’s also the Japanese-inspired Green Doraemon Midori, featuring melon, orange liqueur, tarragon, lemon, absinthe, blackberry, and mint gummy

What is Hopscotch? A decade in Singapore’s hypercompetitive F&B scene is no small feat, so you know Hopscotch has got the goods. The bar has three outlets—located at Capitol, Gardens By The Bay, and Gillman Barracks—so pick whichever is nearest to you to enjoy the drinks and vibes.
They’ve got some seriously interesting drinks here, such as the Lion City Tiki ($24++), one for lovers of pina coladas and mai tais. Served in a vessel shaped like the iconic Merlion, this drink reimagines Sang Nila Utama’s mythic founding of Singapore as a tropical tiki drink, blending rum, spices, and fresh fruit juice. Another unique drink is the Eight Treasures Negroni ($24++), which is inspired by ancient Chinese elixirs and made of gin, homemade goji liquor, starfruit juice and more.
Aside from drinks, each Hopscotch address also serves a full Singapore-inspired food menu, so you can mark it as a spot to wine and dine.
Expect to pay: $24++ for a cocktail, $12-$30++ for food

What is Sago House? The bar has become a Chinatown institution despite having only opened in 2020—it featured on Asia’s 50 Best Bars list as recently as 2024. Founded by industry veterans, the vibey bar offers a rotating menu of cocktails that change according to the week, depending on seasonal ingredients. This is accompanied by six classic options, and a food menu packed with comfort eats: think grilled sandwiches, mac and cheese and such.
Sago House is also a standout because the award-winning hospitality here goes above and beyond without feeling too stifling. Also, most of Sago House’s interiors are built by hand, by the founding team, with primarily upcycled materials. The result: a cool, comfortable space with a long U-shaped bar centrepiece where you can watch the maestros work, or smaller, more intimate booth seats where you can hang with your gang. Bookings are recommended. Some drinks that have featured here include Cosmo Spritz ($25++), Sichuan Pepper Negroni ($25++) and more.
Expect to pay: $25++ for a cocktail, $16-$25++ for other drinks
What to order: Cosmo Spritz ($25++), Sichuan Pepper Negroni ($25++)
What is Draft Land? Dubbed the 45th best bar in Asia, Draft Land is a famous Taiwanese bar lined with 20 taps that dispense cocktails in their concrete, minimalist space.
The drink menu has almost 20 items ranging from $13+ to $20+. Some unique items are sure to catch your eye, including the Popcorn & Coke ($20+) made with bourbon, popcorn, salted caramel and more. Something that screams Asian would be their Oolong Tea Collins ($18+), which uses vodka and oolong as the base mixed with plum and osmanthus.
Read our Draft Land review.
Expect to pay: $13-$20+ for a cocktail
What to order: Popcorn & Coke ($20+), Oolong Tea Collins ($18+)
What is Verandah Pool Bar & Grill? This bar at Momentus Hotel Alexandra is essentially a mini Bali in Singapore with a 25-metre-long infinity pool and floating tray packed with all sorts of drinks and bar bites.
We recommend taking a breather by the pool while enjoying one of their speciality handcrafted cocktails ($25++ per glass). Else, go big with The Verandah Sundown ($98++ for two) which comes with four alcoholic drinks and six bar bites. Do note that this is only available from 4pm to 10pm every day, and gives you access to the pool for two hours.

Drinks inspired by popular anime and manga
Run by the same team behind Ume San 100 is Ume Maru, a new Japanese bar at Far East Plaza that has been the talk of the town. What makes their concept unique is that the drinks are inspired by popular anime and manga.
Fans of Princess Mononoke must try the Light of Nara ($22++) cocktail which boasts a strong alcohol flavour mellowed down by muscut, nashi pear, and persimmon vinegar. There’s also the gorgeous Tiffany Sky ($22++) created with Land of the Lustrous in mind. You get sake, vodka, cucumber, sea salt, and orange liqueur in this one! We recommend pairing your drinks with Crudo ($18++), a bar bite comprising tuna, salmon, abd scallop sashimi.
Read our Ume Maru review.
More than 370 outlets in Korea
Daily Beer has been around for a decade now ever since it was founded in 2014. This celebrity-recognised fried chicken and craft beer restaurant has more than 370 outlets in Korea, and they’ve got outlets at 212 Telok Ayer Street and CHIJMES
Out of the seven different craft beers on tap, we tried the popular Seoul Weizen ($14++) and K-Festbier ($14++). The former is a wheat beer with a smoother and milder profile, while the latter is a great balance of bittersweet flavours. Though slightly intense, you get a caramelly flavour that makes this drink addictive. It’s a must to enjoy your beer with the Angry Bird (from $27.90++): we got the regular crispy fried chicken and sweet garlic soy sauce, and I personally recommend the classic flavour.
Read our Daily Beer Review.
Best known for their cocktails and martinis, the two-storey quaint No.5 Emerald Hill in Orchard serves up a lovely variety of Chinese dessert-inspired alcoholic beverages. Even better, they are a quick eight-minute walk from Somerset MRT Station.
Start with their Red Bean Martini (price TBD) which nails the bittersweet and fruity combination. This one’s mixed with flavoured soju, red bean ice cream, and a bit of watermelon. For something with slightly more alcoholic punch, get the popular Chendol Martini (price TBD). You have rum as the base along with chendol jelly and crushed iced to resemble the dessert.
Read our No.5 Emerald Hill review.
When Tipsy Flamingo collaborated with the celebrity couple Pierre Png and Andrea De Cruz to open their poolside-themed bar at Raffles City in 2021, there was a lot of buzz around the vibrant, trendy addition to the CBD.
If you’re spending the night with a group of friends, we recommend getting their cocktail towers that you choose out of three flavours: Guapo Guava, White Sangria, and Johnnie Walker Lychee Coconut all priced at $78++ per tower. Having just the cocktails is no fun, so get a plate of their Moonlight Truffle Beef Hor Fun ($25++) deliciously charred with flat rice noodles, Wagyu striploin beef, and a poached egg.
Read our Tipsy Flamingo review.
Wanderlost is a great place to bring your friends who can’t take alcohol as this Muslim-owned bar in Bugis offers fairy-tale-themed mocktails.
Served in a mini bathtub, The Ugly Duckling ($14++) is an interesting combination that actually works: mint, grenadine, lemon juice, pink guava, grape sparkling, and a distillate made with Ajwain, a type of herb commonly used in Indian fare. If floral-infused drinks are your thing, get The Alchmemist ($15++) featuring honey, kombucha, sour plum nectar, cinnamon distillate and more. This one’s said to be a crowd-favourite too!
Read our Wanderlost review.
If you’re looking for a bar to impress, whether it be for date night or to flex Singapore’s gems to a tourist friend, then Atlas is your best bet. By now, its stunning Art Deco interiors, champagne selection, and gin tower are world-renowned attractions, but you come for the decor and stay for the food and drinks.
The world’s largest gin collection finds a home at Atlas, so you’ll definitely find a good G&T here. Otherwise, pore over their wide range of house cocktails, spanning classic gin cocktails such as the martini and French 75, to their innovative, themed cocktail menu. This time around, their cocktail selection is a nod to Paris during the birth of the Art Deco movement. If you’re feeling peckish, the bar also doubles as a restaurant serving up elevated French bistro classics. Be sure to book in advance.
Junior The Pocket Bar is the very definition of small but mighty. The space seats 25, living up to its pocket bar moniker, and is well-known for its rotating cocktail menu that changes every few months. Aside from their inventive cocktails, each edition of their drinks menu also casts a spotlight on spirits harder to come by in Singapore, from rare mezcals to rums. Previous menu themes were built around mezcal and tequila, alpine ski culture, the tiki bar movement, and New Orleans’ cocktail scene.
Accompanying the cocktails are a lean handful of bites, which also tie into the menu’s overall theme. It’s not the kind of spot for a full-on dinner, but great for nibbles, or to satisfy a craving in between all the drinking.
Get the best of both worlds at Barbary Coast, a double-concept cocktail bar along Boat Quay inspired by the San Franciscan gold rush circa the 1800s. Housed within three historic shophouses, the two-storey establishment is divided into Deadfall, a casual, fuss-free dive bar with affordable, flat-priced cocktails and pub fare.
For a more elevated vibe, head upstairs to the Barbary Coast Ballroom, an opulent space with private booths, crafted cocktails, and picture-perfect charcuterie boards lined with house-cured meats, cheeses, and the like. It gets pretty packed on Friday and Saturday nights, when the bars both run till 3am.
Nestled amongst the hip lifestyle stores and trendy cafes in New Bahru is Bar Bon Funk, a quaint and homely bar. Opened by the mastermind behind the Le Bon Funk restaurants, you can expect impeccable bar bites and cocktails, all in a stylish yet cosy setting.
You can find super creative drinks here, such as the +1 For Oat ($30++), which is essentially the alcoholic version of an oat latte, featuring coffee liquor, espresso, coffee rum, and a splash of oatmilk. There’s also Lean Green Salad ($28++), a mezcal based concoction laced with avocado, miso, and lime. Of course a visit here isn’t complete without grabbing a snack, such as the Baloney Sandwich ($28++), which we heard is super raved about.
Address: Block 46 Kim Yam Road, #02-01, New Bahru, Singapore 239351
Opening hours: Tue-Sun 6pm to 11:30pm

What you’re seeing in the picture above isn’t a neighbourhood minimart, but the entrance of Mama Diam, a local-inspired speakeasy in Dhoby Ghaut. Everything in this bar screams Singapore, from decor to drinks, making it the perfect place to bring your long-distance friends when they come to visit.
Kick things off with the Singapore Chilli Softshell Crab Bao ($18.90), a celebration of Singapore’s most iconic dish, chilli crab, or the moreish Mala Fries ($13.90). Next, delight in the joint’s happy hour, which spans from 4pm to 6pm daily, and gets you a one-for-one deal on cocktails, beer, wine, and housepours. If you love a good teh tarik, go for the Chai Tarik Brew ($20), which has house-pulled chai, brown sugar, and whiskey. For the more adventurous, opt the Nasi Lemak ($24), consisting of sake, caylon arrack, ancho verde, and cucumber.
Address: 38 Prinsep Street, #01-01, Prinsep Place, Singapore 188665
Opening hours: Sun-Thurs 4pm to 10:30pm, Fri-Sat 4pm to 12am

Another one of Singapore’s cocktail darlings is Native, an Asia’s 50 Best Bars regular, as well as one of the early champions of cocktails made with locally sourced, as well as foraged, ingredients, regional produce, and spirits. The cocktails here are as creative as they are sustainable and are all zero waste. You won’t find the classics here. Instead, it’s all about bevvies that embrace quintessential Asian flavours, from sour plum to kaffir lime.
Aside from cocktails, Native also has a comfort food menu, with a concise range of Southeast Asian-inspired dishes: think moringa fries to nasi bakar.
Last Word may not have a particularly snazzy interior, but their charm lies in how they have perfected their beverage menu. Not to mention, the City Hall bar is run by the team behind Nutmeg & Clove.
When you’re here you have to grab a Bloody Mary ($28++), a classic cocktail made with vodka, lime, celery, fresh tomato, and celery. Else, go for the house signature, the Last Word ($30++), a beverage of Hendrick’s gin, green chartreuse, maraschino, lime, served alongside a house-made brandied cherry. Food-wise, they offer a selection of Japanese-inspired plates, which include the moreish Crispy Pork Gyoza ($15++), and the Tonkatsu Sando ($25++) packed with crispy pork loin and crunchy cabbage slaw.
Address: 8 Purvis Street, #02-01, Singapore 188587

Another one of Asia’s 50 Best names is No Sleep Club, run by two cocktail industry veterans. It is also about elevating the neighbourhood bar experience here—one gets creative cocktails best enjoyed with their dinner menu, which offers dishes that feed the soul.
Aside from their cocktails, No Sleep Club also has quite a range of natural wines. Come by on Sunday, when the joint is open from 12pm, to enjoy a bit of a boozy brunch. Book ahead to long wait times.
Praelum always has a buzz going for it, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. The long-standing wine bar along Duxton Hill is perfect for dinner, drinks, or the two, especially if you’re dining in smaller groups. The food menu is predominantly French, though the wine selection branches outwards to offer quite the varied tour around wine regions large and small.
Prices start at $21++ per glass, though we’d recommend getting their random flights of three or five glasses, from $58++. The resident sommelier will have a bit of a Q&A with you to find out your preferences and curate a selection.
For a wine bar that doesn’t take itself too seriously, you have to head down to Clarke Quay’s Wine RVLT. The progressive wine bar spotlights smaller, boutique producers from across the world, so if you’re lost in the sauce when picking a bottle, let the somm take the reins.
Image credit: winervlt via Instagram
Come hungry, if possible, so you can enjoy Wine RVLT’s equally comforting food menu, which includes bites such as Parmesan Churros ($18++) and Cod Fish Otah Fritters ($16++), or big plates of their Lobster XO Pasta ($48++) and Chinese Chives & Feta Cheese Ravioli ($36++).
In a city where new establishments come and go, one of the pioneering cocktail bars in Singapore, Shin Gi Tai, has remained a fixture. The Telok Ayer speakeasy is all about Japanese-style cocktails and small bites, served amidst the bar’s cosy premises.
While you can have your cocktails omakase here, we also suggest you pore over their concise list of classic cocktails, and grab yourself their Negroni, if you’re a fan. The simple cocktail is executed perfectly here, with hand-carved ice to finish. Japanese whisky fans can also expect an impressive line-up here.
Employees Only is something of a legend in New York, and its Singapore outpost is well on its way to attaining similar status. This speakeasy is parked under a non-descript neon sign that reads “Psychic”. Once past the doors, you’re greeted by a plush haven split into a long bar area and a dining room, both of which tend to get very buzzy on a weekend.
On the cocktail side of things, you get all the EO classics you’d find in the OG New York bar here, as well as some Singapore signatures. If you’re doing drinks and food, the dinner menu stars all-American classics and some decadent additions.
The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore is home to the gorgeous Republic bar, which tips its hat to the glamour and panache of the swinging ‘60s. The spacious lounge-style bar is a beautiful sight and is great for dates or intimate gatherings.
The drinks here are equally impressive—the bar debuted at number 12 on the Asia’s 50 Best Bars list shortly after it opened, and it continues to hold its spot on the list today. The extensive house-made cocktail menus are all themed around cultural events in the ‘60s, which share menu space with an awe-inducing line-up of vintage spirits sourced from around the world.
Ginza’s polished bars have a very distinct vibe of their own, and with Live Twice, you can now enjoy that energy on home soil. The bar is founded by the same folks behind Jigger & Pony, and offers a fuss-free approach to cocktails. The Japanese approach to minimalism manifests in all the drinks here—it is all about letting the combination of simple, premium ingredients shine at Live Twice.
Seasonal specials and an equally lengthy list of spirits are also available, alongside their permanent cocktail line-up. Live Twice is also great for food; they’re one of the earlier pioneers of the sando trend in Singapore, and their Wagyu Katsu Sando ($44++) remains a crowd fave. Note that this bar is cashless.
28 HongKong Street has made an indelible mark on Singapore’s cocktail industry. The longstanding speakeasy along Boat Quay is hidden behind a nondescript panelled door at the address, belying its plush, moody confines.
The drinks menu is split into Future Classics, 26HKS Classics, and Classics Classics. The first is defined by experimental cocktails from the team, the second refers to the bar’s time-tested crowd faves, while the third is all about the true-blue signatures. The bar is also a great place for elevated comfort food, with nibbles such as mac and cheese, chips and dip and the like on the menu.
The dual-concept cafe and cocktail bar, Stay Gold Flamingo, is run by two veterans of the Singaporean cocktail industry. American and Japanese cocktail-making and bartending enjoy a happy merger at this dynamic space, so clean, balanced flavours executed well form the backbone of their cocktail menu, along with some experimental classics.
Don’t shortchange yourself of their bar bites, which comprise a range of Asian comfort food. The Fried Oysters ($20++) are especially popular.
Seated in the Pinnacle Guide’s “World’s Best Craft Cocktail Bars” list is Cat Bite Club, a casual bar in Maxwell. What makes Cat Bite Club’s special are their unique rice and agave-centric spirits! For the uninitiated, agave is a type of plant-based sweetener.
In the agave department, there’s the Hulk Splash ($28), a tequila cocktail mixed with kiwi, citrus, and roasted broccoli. Whereas, the rice-based Return Of The Mak ($25) features makgeolli, soju, and sherry, laced with persimmon and hazelnut.
Address: 75 Duxton Road, Singapore 089534

Long Bar has built its reputation as the home of The Original Singapore Sling ($39++), so it’s definitely the place to go to if you’d like to have the local cocktail done right. Housed in the iconic Raffles Hotel, Long Bar is definitely quite the tourist attraction, but that doesn’t mean it is any less good. Swing by, grab a Sling, and enjoy it with the bag of salty peanuts.
The nuts are served with the shell on, and guests are encouraged to crack ‘em and toss the shells on the ground for the fun of it. If you’re not big on the Sling, don’t sweat it, as Long Bar has a variety of other classic cocktails for your perusal.
If dimly lit and intimate is exactly what you’re looking for, The Spiffy Dapper has got you covered. Don’t let the signage that reads “worst cocktail bar in Singapore” at the entrance turn you away, as this hidden spot is one of the most well-kept secrets of our local bar scene.
The no-frills food menu consists of things like the Dredged Onion Rings ($17) and Beef Tallow Fries ($15), delightfully greasy snacks meant to complement your alcoholic beverages perfectly. The cocktail selection here includes the Bee’s Knees Chassis (price TBD) and Dew Dropper (price TBD). The former stars a caramel black tea-infused pisco, pineapple, honey, and tapioca, while the latter is a refreshing mix of sour plum-infused gin, key lime, and lemon grass.

Rooftop bars such as Lantern hold a special place in my heart. Don’t get me wrong, indoor bars are great, but drinks coupled with a good view offers an experience like no other. This bar is located in The Fullerton Bay Hotel, so you can expect stunning views of Singapore’s skyline.
Here you can grab wines at just $10++, or indulge in classic cocktails like the Whiskey Sour and Lychee Martini at $15++ per glass. These special prices are available Monday through Sunday, 4pm to 7pm.

Drawing influence from Singapore’s historic opium period, Chandu is a cocktail bar in Fort Canning with an almost perfect 4.9 star rating on Google.
The bar’s drink rotation also operates on a unique concept, tailored to each diner. The ingredients used in each drink are said to be sourced from various markets across the country daily, so you can expect a varied experience from day to day. This is priced at $22 per drink. There’s four categories to choose from: Light & Clean, Casual & Easy, Bitter & Complex, Strong & Classy.

Another highly-rated contender in this guide is Oriental Elixir, located in Outram Park. Serving up experimental cocktails with Asian-forward flavours, Oriental Elixir is also headed by the same team behind Sago House.
What keeps customers returning to Oriental Elixir is their continuous dedication to honing their craft. The drinks here are sorted into four categories:, Stiff, Safe, Crazy, and Easy. If you’re gonna go all out, go for the likes of pipagao syrup and Earl Grey infused Silver Sour (price TBD), or the Bonito Kelp-spiked Daiquiri (price TBD).

Another rooftop bar we have a soft spot for is SKAI Bar, housed on the 70th floor of Swissôtel The Stamford. You get panoramic views of City Hall and beyond here—especially beautiful at sunset. While they market themselves as a wine bar, their cocktail menu is also of note, packed with remixed classics and some all-time favourites, like the Negroni and Espresso Martini.
If you’re looking to make the most of your time at SKAI Bar, it is worth noting that the bar shares space with a restaurant that does lunch, dinner, and brunch. P.S.: It’s great for special occasions and dates.
Another Jigger & Pony Group destination is Gibson, a regular name on the Asia’s 50 Best Bars list. This Chinatown bar has been going strong for years. Nestled on the second floor of a heritage shophouse, the bar lives up to its name by offering a wide range of classic cocktails, albeit with an Asian twist.
Their multi-dimensional cocktails go toe-to-toe with an ala carte food menu of snacks and small plates anchored by fresh seafood. The Lobster Roll ($35++) here is a must if you’re hungry; you get a buttery roll topped with chunks of sweet lobster, dressed simply in a yuzu mayonnaise.
Speaking of stylishly cool interiors, Taylor Adam is a speakeasy bar tucked behind a tailor shop. Instead of stepping inside for tailor fittings, you are greeted by posh cocktail mixology.
If you arrive with an empty stomach, there’s classy plates like the Lemon Butter Fish ($28++) featuring seabass, or the Chicken Cordon Bleu ($16++). And once you’ve had your fill, go for the signature Drink Of Immortality (price TBD), composed with aloe vera as the key ingredient.

The Other Room has earned itself a place in Asia’s 50 Best Bars. They are known for their selection of over 100 Cask-finished spirits and cocktails, as well as expertly-crafted tapas. You’ll find this speakeasy hidden within the Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel.
If you love your oysters as much as you love your drinks, you can get the best of both worlds in the Oyster Shot ($15). This brilliant concoction pairs boozy oysters with Bloody Mary, vodka, shallots, pickled cucumber, and fresh dill. Else, there’s the Beetroot Hummus ($23) which sees luscious beetroot hummus paired with sundried tomatoes and Kalamata olives, topped with pine nuts, olive oil, paprika, and fresh dill.

The Elephant Room, located in Tanjong Pagar, draws inspiration from Indian culture, with delicious and unique spice-infused cocktails. The bar has not only been featured in Asia’s Top 50 Bars list, but is also headed by the man behind the famed Smoke & Mirrors.
Inspired by the tradition of whiskey and curry going hand-in-hand during Indian festivities, there’s the Chicken Curry ($28), composed of masala, chicken stock, and bourbon whiskey. Else, the Teh Halia ($26), which pairs Johnnie Walker black whisky with turmeric kombucha and clarified soy. Don’t leave without getting one of their naan pizzas, adorned with Chickpea ($25) and Chicken Masala ($28).

If you’re tired of fruity-forward flavours, head to Ida’s Bar for innovative floral-infused cocktails. Bar hoppers would also be pleased to know that a large portion of the beverages here are inspired by Cat Bite Club’s well-loved concoctions.
Their perfect 5-star rating on Google isn’t an exaggeration, as all of the drinks here are said to be equally as excellent. Indulge in the house cocktail, Melon Reverie ($24++), a blend of Mezcal, watermelon juice, grapefruit, and lime and a dash of chilli. For those who swear off drinks, there is also an alcohol-free rendition of this drink, the Fire Watermelon ($18++).
