Ida’s

Gillman Barracks is home to a fair few art galleries, bars and restaurants, but Ida’s stands out with an in-house florist, Charlotte Puxley Flowers. Naturally, the sheltered courtyard, where nibbles and tipples are served, is lush with greenery. It’s an idyllic setting for sundowners, with cocktails designed in collaboration with the team behind Cat Bite Club. Sip on the Tequila Sunset, a refreshing twist on a classic that’s topped with a blue pea lychee float, or order a pitcher of white sangria for the table. Bites by Head Chef Aiman Hanafi are perfect for sharing, including the flavour-packed lamb croquettes, and sizzling red snapper skewers fresh off the grill. Planning a party? There’s also an event space featuring handmade Balinese furniture that can accommodate up to 300 standing guests.

Bae’s Cocktail Club

The cocktail lounge-dance club hybrid is hailed by its founders as a new era of nightlife, combining the high-octane DJ sets with sophisticated, Korean-inspired cocktails. The drinks, designed by mixologist Vijay Mudaliar (Native), are creative and flavour-forward, like the kimchi margarita, which combines mezcal with roasted bell pepper. Getting the munchies? Order the uni abalone kimbap (Korean-style sushi) and beef bulgogi sliders. At 11pm, the place shifts seamlessly into club mode, and the pulse starts rising to the wee hours.

CODA

While you’ll find CODA at the InterContinental Singapore Robertson Quay, there’s no mistaking it for your run-of-the-mill hotel bar. Instead, the plush lounge offers a playground of opportunity to discover the vibrant flavours of baijiu, sake, shochu, soju, arak, and beyond. The bar program is led by General Manager Treyna Zhang, who crafts refined cocktails around Asian ingredients. The vodka-based Bamboo, for instance, artfully blends bamboo leaf, fenjiu (a Chinese spirit distilled from sorghum), Shaoxing rice wine and osmanthus. Reservations are crucial, particularly if you want a coveted seat at the stunning stainless steel monoblock bar. A separate ‘back room’ featuring retro-fabulous undulating metallic walls and an enviable collection of premium and rare agave spirits is designed for connoisseurs and intimate parties.

The Winery Gourmet

The rustic wine bar is a low-key, comfortable presence on the ever-bustling East Coast road, serving European-inspired cuisine alongside an extensive selection of wines and whiskies. Stepping through the arched doorway, guests are greeted by the walk-in cellar, which houses over 150 labels including exclusive bottles.

Discover accomplished dishes by Chef Zoel Chung such as the signature gambas al ajillo, featuring wild caught tiger prawns, and the excellent seafood paella, heaving with green-lip abalone, Hokkaido scallops and sea urchin. For special occasions, ask for one of the two medieval-inspired private dining rooms at the back for a more intimate evening.

Las Palmas Rooftop Bar

Floating high above the city on the 33rd floor of Courtyard by Marriott Singapore Novena, the cocktail bar remains one of the city’s best-kept secrets. Acclaimed designer Emma Maxwell invokes the sunny, carefree elegance of 1960s Palm Springs with sorbet hues, picture-ready pink cabanas and iconic Slim Aarons photographs on the fluted oak timber walls. Sip and savour cocktails like Go Nude, an Andy Warhol-inspired highball of gin and muddled strawberries, whilst basking in the glow of sunset. Fancy a nibble? There’s also a fine range of Americana-inspired fare, like bourbon-barbecued baby back ribs and Caesar salad, to choose from.
