Manhattan Bar

Our Take on Manhattan Bar

Manhattan Bar at the Regent Singapore stands as Asia's premier American whiskey destination. The bar houses over 1,000 bottles including rare pre-Prohibition expressions that serious collectors travel continents to find. Named Asia's Best Bar three times in the Asia's 50 Best Bars awards, Manhattan Bar has etched itself into conversations about the world's greatest bars.

What sets Manhattan Bar apart is its obsessive approach to American whiskey culture combined with genuine innovation. The in-house barrel ageing programme produces unique house spirits that you cannot find anywhere else. These aged expressions become the foundation of an award-winning cocktail programme that honors classic American drinks while weaving in contemporary Asian ingredients and techniques.

The bar itself breathes elegance. Jazz and swing float through the room as you examine their whiskey collection. Every detail, from the glassware to the ice to the technique, reflects a commitment to excellence. Whether you are a whiskey obsessive planning your collection or someone seeking the perfect date night, Manhattan Bar delivers an experience worthy of its reputation.

For those building a serious Singapore itinerary, pair Manhattan Bar with Bitters & Love in Tanjong Pagar — the neighbourhood's beloved Art Deco whisky bar with 80+ bottles and a welcoming walk-in policy. If you lean cocktail-forward, Jigger & Pony at Amara Hotel is the Asia's 50 Best Bars pick that combines pre-Prohibition rigour with Southeast Asian creativity. Those after something with late-night energy should know that Employees Only Singapore on Amoy Street pours until 3am — one of the few world-class bars in the city that keeps going when the others close.
