The Secret Mermaid

Smol space, big vibes. This literal hole in a wall of a cocktail bar is hidden in plain sight within the Raffles Place pedestrian mall under Ocean Financial Centre. Fusion food. Many makis on the menu. Didn’t know fried broccoli and tater tots (Napoleon Dynamite) could taste so bomb! It gets a little squeezy but that’s part of the vibe. Asiatique cocktails. The seasonal nori cocktail was briny and fresh. Like a gulp of seawater. If you like martinis you can try the Silk & Honey with a pecking of wild honeycomb. $50-$60/pax for 2 drinks + bites. Reservations necessary.

This bar is not located inside ocean financial centre like what google says, do check with the receptionist there on how to get here. Its a very small space. Drinks overall are pretty mid, i am not impressed. Also they can’t get you something thats off the menu like espresso martini or white russian for example. Also got the fries, and it was big portion.

Great service by D'Cruz. Nice touch with the card per drink and the gold detailing of the straw. It would make me come back just to collect all cards. Great layout and interesting covert corner. The food was good, the cocktails could be better. However, we enjoyed the nightcap. Unfortunately, towards the end of the night, when the small groups started talking louder, the sound bounced back uncomfortably now and then. Overall, 4/5.

This is Definitely one of the best cocktail bar I've been in south east Asia! The Secret Mermaid is an awesome speak easy that actually toke us around 10 minutes to find. The cocktail we're great, I specially enjoyed a cocktail made with carrot juice and bourbon. They also offers happy hour discount on many cocktails from the menu from 17:00-19:00. Expect for the cocktail we really enjoyed the proficiency and the great hospitality of the bartenders. Since they got a lot of boutique and unique whiskeys we decided to get a flight. At first they asked which spirits we like so they can suit us the right sorts of spirits. We tasted some really nice whiskys and bourbons, every bottle had really interesting story behind it and it was just amazing to hear and enjoy the spirits. At the end they even let us tasted a really good rum and tequila! Everything in that place was done perfectly with a friendly and warm atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Somewhat hidden, intimate and edgy cool vibe Secret Mermaid is truly one of SG urban feel bar experience. From the basic American spirits to the more specialized .. they’ve got it all! The space is cleverly designed, the focus of attention is of course..The Wall which holds a wide range of Gin and Whiskey ..but the true stars are Don &Kelly who run the show.. they work the bar so smoothly. They are extremely knowledgeable and professional, friendly yet not over friendly. Epic French fries .. huge portion so get ready! It comes with yummy tartar sauce on the side. From the more Chique among us get the oysters they are amazingly fresh and perfectly chilled. Yes, at the end of the evening you will find yourself singing 60’s and 70’s American classics w other bar visitors. Things to note: -Public Bathrooms are located at outside of the Bar 1 min walk. - The music (first part of the night) could have been better. They played heavy metal / hard rock. I would have preferred to listed to some lounge / chill tunes. (But then it got better w the American classics ) - getting there .. look for “Paul” cafe go behind it , there’s an escalator,take it down (metro level) then turn left .. keep waking it’ll be on your right. Definitely recommend to make reservations in advance. Limited seats available.

Great little secret hidden bar. Robert the bartender was lovely, friendly and funny. Cocktails were delicious and they have an impressive wall of different whiskey/bourbon amongst other alcohol. Cosy but nice atmosphere, right near the MRT.

Best evening ever! Ryan and Kess were really friendly by the bar and my friends and I had an amazing night. Really tasty bespoke cocktails and great ambience. 100% recommend!!!!

Visited on 18th November and service was a m a z i n g. The two staff were really friendly and helpful with their recommendations and explanations of drinks. Brought my boyfriend there to celebrate his birthday and they even gave surprise drinks for him! Really appreciated the thoughtfulness. Tried their fries and oysters as well and we liked them! Overall, a great experience and we’ll definitely be back.
