it was only a little over a decade ago that Singapore did not even have a cocktail bar scene. How times have changed. There are literally hundreds of bars and dozens of world class cocktail bars these days scattered across town mostly in pockets. Get out and share the love. Many of the bars are listed here.

Amrith is really impressive. Small and intimate with about 20 punters a sitting. Carmen very entertaining

I've been to a lot of these bars and I have to say I've never seen anything like it here and I travel the world a LOT! Not only do they have what you want even if its something really rare or obscure, but it's presentation is 5 stars!
