    It’s great if you have ugly, but fun friends like me. A bit dark, a great gin selection and the music isn’t too loud so you can actually talk to people.

    Really interesting place with a number of cool drinks. A lot of unique drinks you never heard of, it’s worth sampling a number of them! 🍸

    Premium gin & tonics. Claim to stock >100 gins. We sampled 3 types from St. George (Alameda, California) $24 ea. Terroir & Botanivore were classy G&T drinks. Dry Rye smelled of whiskey with every sip

    Cozy, menuless hipster paradise. Hilda's unnamed tequila coffee shot is epic. Come for the coffee, come back for the cocktails, come back again the next day for coffee for the hangover.

    Best bar I've visited in Singapore, worth finding (going up the dark ladder). Ask the barmen for his own suggestions or twists on the popular classics

    Bespoke cocktails are awesome! Look for Jess, Joyce and or Bryan -- the coolest bartenders in town. Chill place -- not pretentious or too hipster. Love that it's a bit tricky to find.

    Hidden up a dark narrow staircase and opening up into a dimmed tavern-like bar. Unique cocktails to get drunk on... just watch your step going down the steep flight of stairs if you’re smashed.

    Toronto. A rye whiskey-based drink, with bitters like Fernet-Branca & Angostura & some syrup to take the edge off. Garnished with an orange peel

    Awesome ambience. Chill vibe. Classy music. Great owner who's uber cool. We got custom cocktails made by the bartender (Joy). Best was definitely something that had ginger, capsicum and chilli.

    Reverse Vesper was delicious. Gin with pandan-infused vodka & vermouth. Garnished with pickled cucumber slices

    Fantastic low key cocktail bar that does excellent drinks without the pretension. Prices are steepish, but the creativity is well worth it.

    Try their Orange Infused Doppio with milk from Dapper Coffee. Awesome stuff! Dip the dried orange in the coffee and take a bite for a sweet tangy creamy taste.

    Always a great team behind the bar, and the coffee. Dives are few and far between but there's no narc-ing here. Say hello to Hilda, Christine & George.

    Best bar I've ever been to. The drinks are expertly and creatively crafted, the ambiance is relaxed and speakeasy, and the owner is insane.

    Moved to 294 River Valley Rd. If that address sounds familiar, it used to be Quinn’s Irish Pub

    Small, cozy bar near Amoy. The cocktails are great, but be sure to get there early cause there aren't that many seats!

    Dew Dropper lacked the punch. Sourplum-infused gin formed the base. Korean rice wine makgeolli & starfruit made it taste like a fruit juice instead

    Cool place that plays what sounds like old mandarin records in the background. Felt like I was in Aladdin's Macau cave.

    Beware the lack of menu, so be sure you have a go-to drink order (mine's a rye old fashioned).

    Wayyyy too overpriced ($30 for a spiced rum on the rocks- really?), not a very welcoming space. Bar staff with RBF. I shan't be returning
