One of the best cocktail spots in town, hidden behind an unassuming entrance. Enter and you will not be disappointed.

One of the best bars in Singapore, and probably its only speakeasy! Amazing cocktails, great service and excellent decor + ambience. The crowd is great, too. Great for small groups of friends.

Named 42th in the World's 50 best bars by DrinksInt, the drinks focus is on spirits and American-style cocktails, which you might not expect in south east Asia. Read more

Get your experience in one of Asia's 50 Best Bars 2022 , Ranked No. 49 located Singapore. Hidden & speakeasy bar behind the local style building, after entering the door, you find good cocktail inside

loved everything about this place, esp the drinks - the ambience, the service, everything was perfect. they don't have the bathtub cocktail anymore but so many other delicious options to choose from

Great cocktail list for lovers of any spirit, with some truly unique concoctions on the menu. Awesome music & atmosphere (think speakeasy meets hip hop). Stands up to the hype.

Lively place. I liked the classic ones: vermouth-based & sherry ones i tend to like. Drink names change though. Ask JJ help to get you on board with the menu quicker, & let his spirit be your guide.

Dear friends let me save you some time. May I suggest 'Horse with no Name', very refreshing, a little spicy, simply beautiful. Also try out the 'Old Bourbon Sour'!
Nishanth ChandranJuly 22, 2017
The Bourbon old fashioned was nice. The Coppertone and Painkiller were great, too. Ask the friendly bartenders for great recommendations!
Lina YehDecember 22, 2017
If you've got a large (5-10) group of friends, order the President's Punch bowl off the secret menu. Also coming from an American growing up on KFC, the chicken tenders are delicious.
Jigar ChampaneriaJanuary 18, 2016
Great, handcrafted cocktails. Quiz the expert bartenders and order something off-menu....I bet you'll be happily surprised. Great ambiance with friendly staff to keep the night lovely and fresh.
BeyoncePadThaiJanuary 3, 2016
The place was started by the guys behind Rickshaw and Bourbon and Branch in SF. Great cocktails are basically a given, and their bar food is also bomb: Mac and cheese and the Reuben!
Ross WSOctober 25, 2018
Under 'co-bar captains' Charmaine Thio and Lukas Kaufmann, the drinks list changes frequently, but recent highlights include the 6 Foot 7 Foot – rum, cognac, rye, absinthe and torched bananas.
Jessica de OliveiraJanuary 24, 2016
This place just oozes posh and cool, gives the Manhattan speakeasies a run for their money. And surprisingly calm and quiet despite all the hype, so dont be afraid to go check it out.
Diplomatico RumFebruary 21, 2013
Don't miss the Menehune Punch by Michael Callahan, inspired by punches of the 1600s – 1850s and has been a wild success at 28 HongKong Street. Read more
RFT ReyesSeptember 24, 2013
Fantastic modern speakeasy bar by celebrity mixologist Michael Callaghan. Drinks change occasionally like true speakeasies do, but there are some constant originals from them like the "Hard To Port". Read more
Don McIntyreMarch 14, 2017
This place constantly ranks in in the 'top 20' or so of the World's Best Bars, which I suspect has more to do with the vibe, clientele and staff than the building.
Alan BrutenicJune 13, 2015
Amazing Coctail bar, well hidden. You can easily pass by without noticing but if you walk in... Simple amazing👍
Sawit K.September 14, 2016
Look like nothing or get to wrong place in the front. Don't worry, just open and you will find super cool place and great cocktails

Bespoke cocktails devine! Brussel sprouts and bacon brilliant! Salmon Poke a winner! 👍🏻
Mathieu GuntherMay 30, 2015
Great cocktails. Great staff. The perfect place to spend an evening (or more !) in Singapore. Le to pimp a butterfly et le planter s punch sont a essayer absolument !
W CSeptember 10, 2017
Really cool hidden cocktail bar. Make a booking if you don't want to have to wait for a seat.
John AJune 4, 2016
Hip and trendy speakeasy bar with quality cocktails. Dress up a bit (not traditional SG wear flip flop / shorts) make reservations.. Fills up fast.
JoannaOctober 25, 2014
Try Zdenek Kastanek! The barman swears a lot and brags about how drunk it is. There is nothing special about the decor or service. I really don't know how this place made it to Top 50 in the world!
Andreas ReutherJuly 2, 2016
Great selection and execution but the place is much clubbier then I expected. Such cocktails deserve a more serious environment haha.
Jerrald NgDecember 11, 2018
Another hidden cocktail bar in Singapore. Reservation is recommended. As there is no obvious signage, do look out for the unit number "28" along Hong Kong Street.
Vincent TanMay 31, 2016
Rank the best cocktail bar in Asia- couldn't agree more, amazing drinks and unique ambience.
Kit&kafoodleJanuary 21, 2016
Fkn siq drinks and amazing bar food. Everything is served to be eaten with your hands. Amazing tastes. Definitely check this bar out.
EddJuly 14, 2019
Still one of SG’s best prohibition era bars. Reservations absolutely necessary. Crowd’s business-y but laidback- understated sophistication.
Gertje SeegersApril 10, 2021
A terrific place, with very good cocktails. We’ve als have eaten the Tindle waffel! Really awesome 😍
Raul ValleMay 8, 2017
Great bar with an excellent ambiance. The whole experience that it is a hidden bar is worth it. Good cocktails
Ross WSJanuary 2, 2018
Expect top cocktails from the creative mind of Michael Callahan. The list changes, but recent highlights include Planter's Punch – rum, hibiscus grenadine, Darjeeling tea, citrus and bitters.
Time Out SingaporeJuly 29, 2013
These guys now have an Adam Seger-designed rooftop herb garden, and they'll be using the harvest in their cocktail drinks. Ask about it! Read more

Service of the year goes to Vivi of 28 HK St with her quirky cocktail diagnosis. Intimidating menu but thanks to her, I think I've got the best exp. there. Thanks Vivi if you''re reading this. :)
ChavelliApril 11, 2012
Amazing cocktails, great bar staff, fantastic vibe. Pay attention to the little bottles next to the menu items... some of those drinks are way stronger than they taste!
Time Out Singapore ManagerDecember 15, 2011
Cocktails include Whore’s Bath, Literate Lass and Tai Tai Tipple... Try Modest Mule ($18), a lemongrass-laced vodka-and-ginger beer tongue-teaser served with a pipette of Branca Menta (mint bitters). Read more
Dmitry BokovFebruary 13, 2015
Highly recommended cocktail bar for all cocktail lovers. Do not expect popular cocktails be ready for something new and special.
Melon LAugust 7, 2018
Amazing hip-hop themed cocktail menu. 93 till infinity is refreshing and if you enjoy dill, dillmatic is 👌🏼

Eugene Chua with this creation Laksa Boy cocktail, was the winner of the Singapore Final event and will represent the country at the Diplomático World Tournament in Venezuela on May 2013. Read more

This place hosts a bartender competition called 'the bartender allowance' taking place every last Monday of the month. It's pretty cool to pop by when they host such an event.
Adelle LiJuly 27, 2013
28 days later is really strong at first taste but don't really warrant 4 bottles I think, or maybe the ice melted by then. More chips option will be good!
ShelovaJanuary 22, 2015
A really cool place to hangout. Great cocktails n the Brussels sprouts n bacon is v v moreish
Katka NagyovaOctober 8, 2019
Amazing drinks and snacks. Bar has very nice vibe :)
ErnieJanuary 20, 2015
Heard so much about this speakeasy bar and I must say it's worth the hype. Very comfortable ambience and music is not annoyingly loud. That's always a bonus.
Om AmiDecember 28, 2014
For anyone traveling from SF or NYC, this is the classic cocktail bar you'll love. Great flavors and service. You'll be in heaven!
Sawit K.September 16, 2016
Recommend "Paper Tiger" nice smoky flavor
Henrik DafgårdJuly 25, 2018
One of the best bars in Singapore, fantastic cocktails in a very cozy speakeasy.
Adela BernartovaSeptember 14, 2014
Definitely Whore's Bath drink - it is not on the menu but dont hesitate to ask for it - refreshing and just prefect!
Sawit K.November 15, 2019
Very good cocktails as usual ❤️
