Gin not the only spirit calling you? For bars with a view, turn to our guide to Singapore's rooftop bars.
Last time, gin was a gentleman’s pour, served in grand hotel lobbies with stiff collars and polished brass. Today the gin bar in Singapore has grown local roots—distillers steep pandan and butterfly pea, cocktail shakers rattle with kopi and cardamom. Here are five places where the old spirit meets new Singapore, each worth sipping slowly.
Atlas
Atlas, in Parkview Square, is an art deco-styled bar and lobby with a gin collection its own website describes as “one of the world’s most diverse and thoughtfully curated,” at over 1,300 gins.
If you’re the sort who appreciates a lobby bar that feels like a movie set, this is your spot. The gin list is deep enough that even a casual drinker can find something interesting without needing a guide. Skip the fussy cocktails and go straight for a classic martini—it’s where the room and the pour align, and that’s a rare thing.
Step into the soaring ceiling and the gilt-framed calm slows your pace immediately. Go with one other person and request a seat at the bar counter where you can watch the bartenders move with old-school precision, not a rushed shake in sight. Once settled, ask them to walk you through a gin flight off-menu; they often have small-batch bottles not on the print list, and the explanation that comes with it is half the shiok. The room buzzes quiet and grand, so you can actually hear the stories behind each pour.

The architects modelled Parkview Square after the Rockefeller Center, wanting to bring that grand New York lobby feel to Singapore. So when you settle into a plush chair at Atlas with an Atlas Martini, you are tasting a piece of that transplanted ambition—a gin collection that now spans the world, housed in a lobby that always meant to be timeless.
Cin Cin
Cin Cin, at Oasia Hotel Downtown in Tanjong Pagar, offers over 100 boutique gins in a chic setting.
The Kopi Kaki is the kind of drink that makes you wonder why no one thought of mixing gin with local coffee earlier. It’s a smart gateway for anyone who usually finds gin too floral. Come for that, stay for the build-your-own G&T menu if you’re the type who likes to geek out over tonic pairings.
Walk in and it feels like a secret tucked above the hotel lobby, intimate and low-lit enough for a proper date or a slow catch-up with one friend. Park yourself at the long, glowing bar and ask for a custom G&T using a gin from their stash that carries a note you already love—say, yuzu or pandan—and let them match the tonic and garnish. The pace here is unhurried, and the kopi cocktails are better sipped than gulped, especially the one that comes with a nibble of something sweet to offset the roast.

Gin-forward cocktails including the Revitalise (Hendrick’s gin, cold-pressed watermelon, lime) and the Kopi Kaki (local coffee and gin), over 500 Martini/G&T build combinations, plus a bar-bites menu.

- Website: Cin Cin
In old Tanjong Pagar, coffeeshops were the neighbourhood living room—regulars nursing kopi-o, sometimes with a sly pour from a hidden flask. Today, Cin Cin’s Kopi Kaki cocktail spins that covert tradition into a bright, clinking glass. It is a drink that tastes like a memory, with local coffee and gin bringing both boldness and comfort.

Brass Lion Distillery Tasting Room
Brass Lion Distillery Tasting Room, which describes itself as Singapore’s first craft gin distillery, crafts Southeast Asian-inspired gins from local botanicals.
Skip the fancy bars and go straight to the source. Their Singapore Dry Gin is a clean, lemongrass-forward pour that tastes like a hawker centre breeze—in the best way. The tasting flights let you compare their range side-by-side, which is worth it if you’re serious about understanding what local botanicals bring to the glass.
The tasting room is casual, almost like stepping into a friend’s industrial-chic kitchen where someone happens to be distilling gin in the back. Bring a group of three or four so you can share a couple of flights and talk about what you’re tasting without feeling too atas. Stand by the copper stills if the guide offers a peek, because seeing the botanicals up close—all those dried limes and torch ginger flowers—makes the next sip land differently. It’s more hands-on edu-makan than swanky bar crawl.
Products or Services
Signature gins including Singapore Dry Gin, Butterfly Pea Gin, Pahit Pink Gin, Navy Strength Gin, Pearl Jasmine Gin, Hawthorn Gin, and Barrel Aged Gin; cocktails and Southeast Asian-inspired dishes; distillery tours and gin-making classes.

For generations, pandan, torch ginger, and butterfly pea scented our grandmothers’ kitchens—steeped into teas or folded into traditional cakes. Brass Lion Distillery now captures that fragrant pantry in its gins, distilling local botanicals into a spirit that tastes like home. The Tasting Room is where you can sip a bookend of past and present, in a glass.
Jigger & Pony
Jigger & Pony, at Amara Hotel, is a Singapore cocktail institution serving classic and contemporary cocktails.
The Espresso Martini here is the one that sets the standard—rich, balanced, and not just a sugar bomb. If you’re the type who wants to understand why this bar has been a name for so long, order that and the carbonated Singa Sling side by side. It’s a masterclass in how a classic and a local twist can coexist on one menu.
Arrive in the early evening when the lighting is warm but the crowd hasn’t yet thickened, so you can lean in and really speak with the team. Grab a high table near the centre so you feel the gentle, convivial hum of the room without being in the service lane. Order the carbonated Singa Sling first and notice how it refreshes rather than coats—a smart move before moving to something stiffer. The menu binds here, not just a list; flip through it with your group and share tasting notes as each drink lands.
Products or Services
The EMBRACE menu, featuring the Espresso Martini (vodka, house coffee blend, coffee flower honey, cacao tuile) and the Singa Sling, a carbonated take on the Singapore Sling with gin, Cointreau, cherry, and pineapple.

The Singapore Sling was dreamed up at the Raffles Hotel long before the war—a tall, pink concoction of gin, cherry brandy, and pineapple. Jigger & Pony’s Singa Sling carbonates it, lifting the fruit and cutting the sweetness. The result is a lighter, brighter version that feels closer to the original idea, when elegance meant a gentle fizz.
The Spiffy Dapper
The Spiffy Dapper, on River Valley Road, is a dive-bar-styled cocktail bar with a deliberately worn-down, unpolished look.
This is the anti-Atlas—a place where the bartender might remember your order and the music isn’t background jazz. The Sheikh On The Level (Turkish black tea sour) is a clever drink that doesn’t try too hard. Worth the climb up the stairs if you’re after a gin cocktail that feels like a conversation, not a performance.
Head up that narrow staircase and into a room that feels like your friend’s quirky living room, all mismatched chairs and a playlist that strays delightfully from the expected. Sit at the bar if it’s just two of you, and let the bartender know what you usually order at a hawker kopitiam—they’ll spin a gin cocktail around that memory. The dill-infused tipple changes regularly, so ask if it’s available; it’s a fresh, savoury curveball that pairs dangerously well with their nameless bar snacks.

River Valley once hummed with godowns storing tea, coffee, and cardamom from across the region. At The Spiffy Dapper, the Sheikh On The Level sour nods to that trading past—black tea, cardamom, and gin stirred into a drink that feels like the slow end of a long harbour day. It is a quiet toast to the port that built Singapore.

Pick Your Gin Vibe
The choice really comes down to the evening you have in mind. For a landmark celebration or an outing where the setting is as important as the pour, Atlas fills the bill with its soaring lobby and astonishing range of bottles. It suits the moment you want to dress up and make the bar itself part of the story. Cin Cin, by contrast, offers a quieter, more intimate pocket at Oasia Hotel Downtown, where the focus narrows to a curated list and easy conversation—ideal for a date or a catch-up that shouldn’t feel rushed.
If you’re keen to go beyond the glass, Brass Lion’s tasting room connects you directly to the distillation process, and you can tapau a bottle to continue the experience at home. Jigger & Pony turns the dial toward inventive cocktails in a buzzy, communal space that works especially well for a group keen to sample widely. The Spiffy Dapper, with its nostalgic local touches, suits a casual session where the drinks feel familiar yet surprising. Think about the mood you want: a grand production, a quiet nook, a maker’s tour, or a lively bar with mates.
