28 HongKong Street

Clarke Quay/ Boat Quay

This cocktail bar's long list of awards include being crowned No. 4 in the Asia’s 50 Best Bars list and No. 10 in the World’s 50 Best Bars

 

Hidden behind a 1960s shophouse is 28 HongKong Street. Despite its unassuming appearance, with no signage and a non-descript door, this speakeasy has become one of the forerunners of the local cocktail scene. Head bartender Elliot Pascoe heads the bar and serves up an extensive list of artisanal spirits and American-style craft cocktails. Head there after work hours and imbibe on a cocktail or two that places emphasis on clean and fresh flavours. For example, the Garden Swizzle is a herbaceous concoction of Bacardi Ocho rum, Amaro Nonino, strawberry, grapefruit, lemon and bitters. As for bites, look forward to comforting American fare to satisfy your stomach.

“An institution in the bar scene, 28HKS continues to deliver top-notch food, cocktails and amazing hospitality.”—Jon Jon Bauyon
