Top choice in Chinatown & the CBD


This outpost of the famous New York cocktail bar of the same name has brought a slice of big city buzz to Singapore, along with a dazzling array of innovative drinks. Some of the sting from the eye-watering prices is soothed by the free-pour mixing method; lightweights may be knocked from their perch. A neon 'psychic' sign marks the entrance.

It's open for lunch and the modern American eats are worth sampling if you're hungry.
