Every drink has a story to tell. It's no secret that booze was Hemingway's life-blood, for him and his fictional cohorts. He was a sophisticated drinker, a lover of fine spirits, and a true connoisseur who sought out the best bars from Paris to Pamplona. The Old Man honors Hemingway by taking inspiration from his novels, history, and folklore, and by using novel ingredients and culinary accoutrements – thereby paying tribute to the spirits and cocktails he loved.

Any Hemingway fans here? The doors of The Old Man open into a Hemingway themed bar adorned with dark and gold interiors and tantalising cocktails for your inebriation. These cocktails come with a hint of Asian flavours like The Sun Also Rises, made with gin with a dash of curry leaves, sweet vermouth sous-vide pandan leaves and lime kafir. If this is not strong enough for you, go straight for Death in the Afternoon which is an absinthe cocktail spiked with prosecco, coco-pandan yoghurt, froth and nutmeg. We know you’re awestruck but don’t forget the bar snacks. Pay a visit to Cheese Town on the Cheese Board or hog mouthfuls of dirty fries with intermittent gulps of beer. And of course, there’s always the creamy cheesecake slice waiting for you at the end.
