Sugarhall

Sugarhall is a rum-focused cocktail pub from the Jigger & Pony group, the Singapore team behind some of the city's most awarded bars. It started in 2014 in a cosy Amoy Street shophouse next to Jigger & Pony itself, then closed and returned in March 2022 at 19 Cecil Street, on the second floor of a heritage building in the Central Business District. DRiNK Magazine framed the return as Sugarhall coming back "after a four-year hiatus" with a clearer identity.

This is a place for people who want serious rum without a serious mood. The Peak called the reopened version a rum cocktail pub, and that pub framing is the point: relaxed, convivial, drinks-led but easy. It suits after-work groups and anyone who likes their tiki served straight-faced. It will underwhelm anyone hunting a hushed, reservation-only speakeasy.

The Cecil Street room leans on dark wood, fairy lights, and exposed pillars, an interior the bar describes as drawn from British neighbourhood pubs. It is a pub silhouette wrapped around a rum program.

Up one floor in a restored shophouse, Sugarhall trades the cramped original for a roomier, pub-style space. Dark wood and warm low light set the tone, with the bar as the anchor. The location puts it steps from Raffles Place MRT, which is why it works as a first stop on a CBD night rather than a destination you trek to.

The list is built around rum, the spirit that ran through the original Sugarhall and carries the reopened one. Expect tropical and tiki-leaning cocktails alongside a short pub-food menu meant to keep you in your seat. The bar operations have been led by rum specialist Davide Boncimino with principal bartender Sam Loh, so a "what should I drink tonight" handed to the bartender is the smart order. Start with a rum cocktail before drifting toward anything spirit-forward.
