No drinks menu there as everything is bespoke. Drinks are largely gin-based and I’d say the bartenders are v chill and creative! My only gripe was that they had no food on the day that I went — was looking forward to try the tacos. Ordered 2 drinks — something floral and refreshing, and something that goes well with fried chicken. I got a chrysanthemum infused drink with some orange bitters for the former. The latter was mainly concocted with 4 red berries; a tad too sweet for my liking. Overall a nice experience cos the bar was quite empty on a Thursday night. People only came much later at 9ish-10!

Randomly stumbled upon this excellent bar from a Google search. It had glowing reviews (still does) and so decided to try it. There isn’t a board outside (like a speakeasy), so we couldn’t really spot it. We thought we had missed it when we found an old staircase that leads to this place. Initial impression upon seeing this hidden bar is old-school with a soul. There was a gentle music playing and there was a mix of Indian, American and even some local 70’s music being played. The decor is that of an old mama shop/Kirana store with things you would find in the 70’s or 80’s. There is no fixed menu of cocktails. Instead, your bartender will ask you what you are in the mood for and will accordingly concoct a custom cocktail. Our host was Daniel. He was very friendly and asked us what we were in the mood for. He made 4 brilliant cocktails from scratch, each matching the description of what we requested. There weren’t any overly strong flavours, and the drinks were really smooth. Excellent experience for someone seeking a unique cocktail experience in Singapore.

it's a little hidden, but worth looking for. the vibes are nothing short of immaculate. they specialise in gin and have a bunch of different drinks that range from safe to adventurous, and from easy to stiff. beware the stiff drinks though, they're sure to put hair on your chest. they are also able to customise your drinks to your preferences if you tell them about what kind of flavours you like. I had an earl grey - strawberry bespoke drink and it was magical 💖💖 Jane and nigel were fantastic, super kind and attentive to us whenever we were running low and snacks and water.

Quirky cocktail bar with old shop vibe :) Some exciting crazy cocktail selection available. From safe to crazy, light to stiff. I tried the chicken sambal highball & beef rendang old fashioned. Can really taste the flavour as described. Will definitely come back & try their other exciting peculiar drinks.

Excellent personalized cocktails & interesting decor! They have a warung style wall and even a real canoe. What’s most interesting is to find the place 😆 They do not have any signs at the door, especially earlier in the evening. It’s all part of the experience~

Wonderful experience at the Oriental Elixir! Daniel and Belle were really accommodating and all the drinks they provided were really tasty. Would definitely come back!

Just getting to the right place was an adventure in itself - but it was totally worth it! We were greeted by an old-school provision shop set-up and staff who dedicated themselves to serving up great food and drinks and understood that service is really about hospitality. We truly felt like we were among friends. One well-kept secret: although they were a bar back at Haji Lane, here at Bukit Pasoh, they have mind-blowing tacos, cooked by the amazing Belle, and we were told that the menu changes every week. Tonight, we had beef rendang, chicken katsu, and char siew tacos. We heard they even previously had chicken rice tacos and Babi Ponteh tacos. The bespoke drinks were also spectacular, each mixed by Daniel, the bartender, who understood what we wanted better than ourselves. There were even thoughtful gestures of providing us with complimentary aperitifs to start and end our night. Check them out if you’re looking for a spectacular adventure.

What an experience! Chanced upon this place while looking for a place for cocktails. Came into the bar expecting a menu but was surprised they would try to concoct a drink based on your likings. Drinks came and the taste was on point! we'll think of more crazy ideas for the drinks the next time we come here. Also shout-out to Daniel and Belle for the hospitality! They were fun to talk to! And we like the fact they're building a community there too. We'll bring more friends and families to join the community!

A well-hidden bar (located on the second floor of a scarily-dark shophouse staircase) whose shtick is that they're a gin based bar that does all manner of infusions, from the sane to the wacky. Some of them are hits, some are misses. While their ingenuity, creativeness and verve are to be applauded, I do think some of their drinks are just too unpleasant or otherwise off-flavored to pass the QC process. Toilet has a riotous collection of plants that I later realised were mostly fake. Liked: - Chicken sambal highball. This just works. A deliciously well-balanced infusion of chicken rice chili that makes a bold statement, like a clean Southeast Asian take on a bloody mary, or a boozy chicken rice soup with chili stirred in. The coriander garnish could be controversial, but I'm all for it (though they might want to put a trigger warning for the genetically-predisposed coriander haters among us). - Masala Chai Pineapple Tiki Sour. Just an all-around pleasant, if boozy, drink, that is indeed replete with its advertised flavors. - Bonito kelp daiquiri. More like a martini than a daiquiri, with an intensely dashi-esque salinity and savoriness. Ambivalent - Pi Pa Gao + Earl Grey Silver Sour. I'm of the opinion that PPG is more of a novelty/joke ingredient for those in the know to commiserate, rather than something that I'd actually want in a cocktail. - Beef Rendang Old Fashioned. While there is a faint whiff of rendang, the drink itself is just not a particularly amazing old fashioned on the whole. Intensely disliked: - Blue cheese and curry leaf martini. Could smell the blue cheese, couldn't really detect the curry leaf, but this martini was way too gin-forward without any balancing flavors, and basically made for a drink that was hard to stomach.

This place is a lot of fun! A friend had been talking about how undrinkable the blue cheese cocktail is (and how good the bonito one) that we had to finally find time to come try after weeks of talking about it. Indeed, the blue cheese cocktail tastes like the remnants of laundry detergent and in the words of the friend that ordered, “It’s disgusting!”. I definitely didn’t need more than one sip. Still you can’t come here and not order this drink. It’s so bizarre it has to be tasted. As for the rest - the rosemary adobo was really lovely, a lighter, more floral version of a Bloody Mary. The bonito drink is pleasant, and you need to pay attention to get the hint of smoked bonito aftertaste. The octopus drink I thought was ok, but thankfully I couldn’t taste the octopus. The ambience is great. It’s a really fun bar to take people who are visiting town.

First time to the bar which our friend found via the google reviews.The place is very secretive which can be easily missed out.From downstairs look up,may look dangerous to enter.But the environment and concept is unique.The bar is small so can’t handle too many paxes hence reservation is encouraged.However they are kind to allow walk in too.The drinks are unique just that it’s scary as there’s nil price indicated.The bar assistant is really sweet to keep checking whether the drinks are too strong.Overall is a great bar!

Quaint speakeasy bar hidden upstairs. Small space so you'll need to make reservations. Love the old school South East Asian decor. Drinks were customised with local ingredients and flavours, giving an interesting twists to classic cocktails.

Very good drinks! I especially loved the beef rendang old fashioned (yes!) - all that lemongrass and turmeric and deliciousness but without the beefiness. Great atmosphere. Recommended. We will return!

Decided to pop up after reading the raving reviews. Daniel was so sweet & the drinks were all so unique. Would totally be back!

Amazing, worthy a try! Daniel is amazing, friendly, polite and welcoming. Cocktails are superb, well balance, flavored and easy to drink. Amazing.

The first time in my life I entered a bar where all the bottles weren't the typical alcoholic beverages you'd find in a supermarket. Instead, they were intriguing, non-branded bottles labeled with stickers, probably detailing their homemade contents. It gave the place an authentic, apothecary-like feel. Finally was the best and most original cocktails I've ever tasted.

“Impeccable concepts, with a simple yet straightforward menu to boot” The menu is really straightforward, you pick how strong you want your drinks to be, then decide how adventurous you’re feeling and then stick to something on the spectrum. There’s also maggi noodles to be ordered and it’s actually quite interesting to have cocktails with noodles but somehow it just works. 25 per drink is pretty standard in Singapore these days. And the place is well lit enough that you won’t feel like the bar didn’t pay for their electricity. But what do I know I just drink too much and write reviews for the clout. Come check it out yourself.

Five stars all round! This was our first stop on a bar hop and what a great find. The cocktails are really inventive with weird and wonderful flavours (blue cheese, fish, Marmite flavours), don't be scared to try. Every cocktail we tried was delicious and well balanced. The hosts Danielle and Nigel were super friendly, thanks for a great time! Will be back next time in Singapore

Totally recommend this place. I’ve been to a lot of cocktail bars in the world & this one was up there with the best of them! The 1st drink I had was the Pi Pa Gao + Earl Grey + Silver Sour, which was so good. Then I told Daniel what cocktails I usually drink & he made something off-menu & it was even better than the first. You might have to ask around to find the entrance but the vibe makes it feel like an undiscovered gem even though it’s clearly discovered, from all the raving reviews haha.

Love the concept- bespoke and unique flavour profiles. Friend asked for "tiramisu" and it was one of the best tiramisu I ever had (crazy that it was gin-based)!

A bespoke cocktail bar that is not easily found without the hints from other reviewers. You are immediately being transported to a cosy, dimly lit bar - as if it is your buddy’s crib stuffed with the best collection of alcohols and yes, instant noodles! Upon describing your preferred flavours, you would get a custom made concoction. Be sure to pair it with some slurp-ilicious, elevated noodles. You may thank me after that.

Bartenders were all extremely friendly (and cute too)! The drinks were exquisite and it’s a delight to see them make the drinks up close. Ambience is one-of-a-kind and really chill too.

Loved this cosy bar! The ambience is great, feels like a provision store from the 50s. No menus, the bartender asks you what kinda flavor you want and they make it on the spot.

One of my favourite cocktail spot in Singapore, and a very night place for a nice date with your partner. You get to ‘create’ whatever you want and the taste will always be a delight to you! This is not my first visit and won’t be my last! Looking forward to the next one!

I had such a great experience here! Drinks are super experimental (Think coconut infused gin, tomyum and even tandoori masala drinks) and interesting. There’s no menu so just let the bartender know what kind of flavours you are looking for. Would also highly recommend the cocktail Masterclass, Daniel was super knowledgeable and helpful in teaching us the basics of cocktail making.😊

An amazing time spent here - with owners Kim and Daniel serving us amazing cocktails unlike any other. Even though it was our first time here, it felt like a warm catch up with an old friend. A cozy warm ambience perfect for an intimate night. Will definitely come back here - a debate between gate keeping this gem and recommending this to everyone I know 💯

I don't think there's a cocktail they can't make well... Thank you for the amazing experience again!

Hidden bar along bukit pasoh street. Very very hidden have to enter by staircase leading to a pte ltd engineering company which is at level 3 but this bar is midway at level 2. Not so visible door as I have passed it until the bartender opened door and checked for me. Came here to celebrate birthday for a good friend. 2 couples in total and seats are limited so you need to login to website and book appointment before you head up. If you walk in on busy nights then you may not be able to find seatings. Not too expensive, tacos $10 and gin drinks $25. The bartender also treated us on house a shot after we sang the birthday song and and in return we offered him a slice of our burnt cheesecake ! 😋 I really like the ambience its so retro and very old malay music. My wife mentions music is abit loud cause of the seatings but personally i think its ok. To be honest, wife and friend complained the food waiting time is too long. Its alright for me but yeah if you are really hungry and come here for food, dont set expectation too high because this place supposed for chill, chatting and tasting of gin! TGIF 30/9/22

New favorite bar in SG - drinks quality, service and vibe were all top notch and extremely memorable (biggest thanks to Daniel!). Highly recommend and will definitely be back for more

Never thought drinks could taste like solid food or a feeling! Absolutely mind blowing gin infusions. Went for a Cocktail making masterclass and it was an amazing experience. Don't miss visiting this place and even if you live at the extremes of Singapore or just in Singapore for a few days, totally worth the visit. Coming back again for sure.
