Dmitry BokovFebruary 20, 2015Hidden from the main street. Pure alchemy when mixing your drink. No labels no alcohol in the menu only flavors you like to be mentioned. Unique and very good experience with cocktails. Recommended!
Dave McNovember 14, 2019Dimly lit with nitrogen smoke swirling around and hidden behind a blank door, this place really has a speakeasy vibe. Some really crazy drinks, just try something you never heard of before. 🍸
Dewanza SaurusJuly 28, 2015The cocktails are really good. Quite expensive but worth to try. These guys really know what they're doing. Defo will come back to here. #hiddengem
Place is hard to find (on purpose). It's behind Oxwell & Co (same owners). Look for this door with the symbols above it. Walk down the stairs. Enjoy!
Samantha ChngFebruary 23, 2016Love the snow cocktail which comes with a white chocolate bowl filled with froyo balls! Hot and cold cocktail is amazeballs too! Service staff are friendly and super efficient!
This speakeasy underground bar never disappoints. Amazing cocktails- favorites are chocolate pino noir, hot & cold, the egg & sugarcane. Pricey & small portions though. Good for dates & groups.
Amiro P.March 13, 2016Stylish underground 'secret bar' may be one of the Top coctail bars in singapore. All coctails are great
Varun KapoorMay 23, 2015Very cool. One of a kind cocktails - try the Omakase sesame cocktail! Fits about 20 people which makes for an intimate evening. Great service too!
PeiNovember 16, 2015Fabulous original cocktails - the menu describes flavors, not the kind of booze - and every drink is a wonderful surprise. My favs were the Pinot chocolate and Gomashio - fantastic.
Ross WSJanuary 2, 2018Try Fallen Fruit, a clever concoction using sous vide natural wines, served in a ceramic pear and sipped through a hollowed vanilla bean or try 'omakase' flight of cocktails, which are chosen for you- Ross WSOctober 25, 2018Try Cabbage, a clever concoction using sous vide natural wine from fermented red cabbage with apple and rose. Or try the 'omakase' flight of cocktails, which are chosen for you by the bartender.
Brandon LeeMay 23, 2014Great original cocktails. "Hot and Cold" is gone all too soon, but an amazing experience. Warm coconut creaminess on top and cold pineapple flavors below.- Ross WSSeptember 5, 2016A basement cocktail bar in Singapore’s Chinatown, Operation Dagger serves a stripped back menu in a scantly clad Scandi-esque space, lit by a nebula of bulbs.
- What's unique abt this spot is they'll try to make as many of their spirits, liqueurs & bitters entirely in-house. So dun expect commercial alcohol labels to b used here :-)
- Dave McNovember 16, 2019It’s better not to come here with a large group. The drinks are so unusual, everyone in your group will be saying ‘try this’ and you’ll be pretty drunk before you even get your drink! 🥴
- Dave McNovember 16, 2019Honestly I don’t remember any of the names of the drinks, which speaks to their potency - but there’s one clear chocolate one that will really throw you for a loop! 🍫 🍸
Alroy SJanuary 6, 2018Great cocktails n very cool underground vibe. Had the Red Eye, an interesting twist on the Manhattan. Must visit if you’re a hidden cocktail bar aficionado.
JaneSeptember 23, 2014A hidden bar down a flight of stairs. Interesting atmosphere with minimalist decor and dim lighting. Cocktails are ~S$22.- Voted #7 in the inaugural Asia's 50 Best Bars Awards 2016. #8 was Jigger & Pony @ nearby Amoy St. #1 in the list was 28 HongKong Street, also here in Singapore
Giulia PratiJune 8, 2019Very cool vibe with unique drinks. Spot the understated plaque by the door in the alley to find it
Guy BlondeSeptember 10, 2014Hot and cold is amazing cocktail. Very nice place, but impossible to find if you dont know the place.
Jerrald NgDecember 11, 2018Contemporary interior designs; another hidden bar along Ann Siang Hill. Take the stairs behind Oxwell & Co, across the walkway and enter the unmarked door to enter this secret bar!
celinaSeptember 10, 2014Great little bar for drinks. Awesome decoration and interesting flavored cocktails!
Cloe BushnellMarch 3, 2016Unique cocktails with a laid back atmosphere. Entrance is a bit hard to find, on a side street off Club street- Something Fizzy: Natural champagne yeast. Takes 3 days to make a batch. Delightfully bubbly! Our batch was berry, fennel, honey. Sweet!
Krishna ZulkarnainOctober 7, 2015You must know where to look and you'll find a speak easy with very interested drinks. At $25 a glass, it doesn't come cheap
Jose MellaMay 23, 2014“Sugarcane” is surprisingly not sweet as it sounds. Nice bite of chilli with only a hint of sweetness.
- They make their own chocolate wine and it tastes awesome!! Cool underground hideout amongst club street ruckus.
Monica DesaiDecember 3, 2017Awesome cocktails with house-infused liquors and cool serving techniques - highly recommend
Noah WeissDecember 3, 2017Awesome bar tender’s choice cocktails with a crazy light fixture with 1000 bulbs
Paul RasmussenMay 31, 2016Decent cocktails, but nothing magical. Creative but limited drink menu. It's a bit disappointing. They ask the flavors you like, but typically stay on menu for recommendations. Need more creativity.- Bar's name is inspired by a movement in the 50s to rid Chinatown of gangs & societies.

Loreto CousiñoMay 5, 2018Underground environment. Creative drinks but very expensive. Is this once in a lifetime places to visit.
- Dolores LoudermilkMay 14, 2015Drinks are weird just for the sake of being weird. I thought the chocolate wine was nasty. The room was like musty cave where some weird murderer takes his victims.
VotreX TanNovember 9, 2015If bored, try deciphering the cryptic hieroglyphics on the apothecary bottles.
Tatiana EmelianovaJune 3, 2017Don't understand where good reviews come from. We've tried 7 cocktails and all of them except one were just awful. And withal quite pricey. Will never come back.
Fantastic cocktails and chill atmosphere. Ask for the chocolate pinot noir, or try the delicious smoked cocktail.

"Yes. Yes. Yes. Starfruit gin was amazing. Fresh oysters were amazing. Finger food to die for. Plenty of speciality alcohol from the States, you could go mad trying them all. Big love to the staff too."
