Craft cocktails, barrel-aged spirits, and New York glamour


























"Up on the second floor of the Conrad Singapore Orchard I stepped into Manhattan, a swanky, New York–inspired lounge with mirrored ceilings, a rickhouse of barreled vespers and Negronis, a 12-seat Warhol-themed bar-within-a-bar, and strong nonalcoholic options; head bartender Zana Möhlmann doses tonic with lemon-mushroom oleo saccharum in the Autumn Groove Fizz and echoes spring in the Blooming Daisy with Lyre’s non-alc agave spirit, bee pollen, and rose-lychee milk tea." - ByAdam Erace

"Manhattan Bar is equal parts sultry and cozy, with dark lighting and oversized leather Chesterfields spread throughout. The drinks are stellar without being pretentious—almost all house originals, including an extensive rick house with dozens of barrel-aged drinks—and the staff members are some of the best in town. Surprisingly it draws more of a vodka-soda crowd during the week, which could work to your advantage if you're a more passionate cocktailian." - Naren Young
"The new cocktail menu at this hotel bar pays homage to six iconic New Yorkers through 18 cocktails and six zero‑proof drinks that tell each luminary’s story. Drinks are highly conceptual and ingredient‑driven—After Hours riffs on truffle focaccia with a mix of Never Never Triple Juniper Gin, Cocchi Americano and Salers Gentiane finished with a fried cheddar crisp, while Golden Hour blends rockmelon osmanthus syrup, Belvedere Smogory Forest Vodka, lavender bitters, bitter orange and elderflower tonic to evoke Vera Wang’s aesthetic—resulting in theatrical, personality‑led cocktails meant to be sipped and savored." - Joy Fang and Alexandra Karplus
"Ranked #1 on Asia’s Best Bars, this Singapore venue caters to those who prefer no-nonsense, potent cocktails. The standout is the Eighth Ward, a powerful blend of High West Campfire Whiskey, Sangue Morlacco, Cocchi Vermouth di Torino and Ferrand dry curaçao, presented simply with a single cinnamon stick and an orange rind." - Rachel Eva Lim
"A high-end cocktail bar housed in the Regent Singapore hotel that held Asia's number-one position for two consecutive years; in 2019 it received both the Legend of the List Award and the Best Bar in Singapore title. Under owner Aki Wang it is known for signature creations such as the 'Solar Terms of Island' cocktail and consistently ranks highly on global best-bar lists." - Jalean Wong
