Our Review

Naren YoungContributing Writer

First impression?
Through a shop frontage of, you guessed it, bespoke shoes and other leather goods, this speakeasy is all about hushed reverence and perfectly curated cocktails. Settle into one of the ridiculously large armchairs that are lined up along an even more ridiculously long bar. Keep your voice down, people, this is not a place for a sing along.

So who’s there?
A lot of regulars. Most reveling in the attention to detail and personalized service of quiet Japanese owner and head bartender Daiki Kanetaka.

How are the drinks?
Mostly classics here in their truest sense (with very few riffs). Try a pitch perfect Aviation or a French 75, both served in glassware so delicate that I’m afraid to touch it. Or drink whiskey straight, they have an incredibly diverse selection.

Did the staff do you right?
In a similar style that you might see in the tiny speakeasies of Ginza, an apprentice will take your order after discussing your taste preferences and hand it off to the principal bartender to prepare. Which can, of course, mean long waits for drinks when only one person is catering to all these guests.

Wrap it up: what are we coming here for?
It's one of the most underrated and understated bars in Singapore. They go about their business happily in the shadows of the more prominent bars around town, quietly doing their thing, catering to those in the know.
