The Backdrop

i’ve been to many speakeasy cocktail bars and this is already one of my favourites! everything from the decor to the service were spot on! only managed to have two drinks this time and they were fantastic! we tried a couple of food items; the bikini and the steak & caviar bites. the bikini, while delicious, should have a bit more filling in my opinion and perhaps my own personal preference. the steak & caviar bites though, was absolutely delicious, and this is one item i would definitely come back and order again. if you’re a fan of espresso martinis, i would recommend trying their perforated rendition, it’s unique and clear colored and a very interesting experience! also tried their rum based old fashioned and it was fantastic! service here is top notch, and the ambience is very 50s or 60s american style i believe. i will definitely be back again!

In my opinion and my personal experience, I would say The Backdrop is the best bar I’ve ever visited in Singapore. Beautifully decorated behind the hidden door, keep giving me surprises. The environment is cozy and the staffs there are very friendly. They don’t just take your order and walk away but they stay and engage with each table, sharing the stories behind the inspiration of the bar and also the carefully created cocktails. Definitely worth the visit and I will definitely visit again!

Checked out a hidden bar at Voco Orchard Hotel called The Backdrop—and it’s such a vibe. The whole place is themed like the backstage of a theatre, which already sets a cool mood. Getting in feels like part of the show too: you scan a QR code at the entrance, then wait for them to send you another code to unlock the door. The bar’s pretty cozy, drinks are solid, and here’s a fun twist—when you order, they hand you a card with a random question. Perfect icebreaker if you’re hanging out with someone new and need help dodging the awkward silences. Definitely a fun little experience if you’re up for something different.

This was an experience to remember. This themed hidden bar in the Voco plaza was so full of character and charm. The guys serving were funny, friendly and very attentive. The cocktails were absolutely quality. I would definitely recommend, especially if on a date night.

Lovely ambience with en pointe 20’s speakeasy vibes, staff are friendly and provided welcome and goodbye drinks which was a nice touch. Cocktails and food were of good quality and bespoke style. Would be back again!

drinks menu was interesting. drinks were ok. food menu was exorbitantly priced for very ordinary food. service was a bit too good. maybe too many servers for too small a group. it was a cosy bar, nice for intimate drinks but sometimes too much attention is not a good thing. a bit disappointed since it was so highly reviewed. a lot of fanfare for the speakeasy entrance. fun but doesnt make up for the drinks and food. wont be back. sorry.

Hands down my favorite cocktail bar in the world!! The energy, the decor, the atmosphere, and of course - the COCKTAILS - are all exceptional. Dario is an absolute wizard behind the bar. Everytime I go, it’s an unforgettable experience. Can’t wait for my next visit! 🍸

This speakeasy was not easy to find at all haha! Hidden beside Voco Hotel. Features SPECTACULAR drinks, a great atmosphere, fun interior design, and a very well controlled sound system; just enough to enjoy the music but not loud enough to interrupt conversations. Food was mid tho.
