Hidden behind grey curtains and a neon Cheshire cat at Monument Coffee on Duxton Road, Cat Bite Club is a neighbourhood gem specializing in agave and rice spirits. Since opening in June 2023, operating partners Gabriel Lowe and Jesse Vida—veteran bartenders from San Francisco, Bangkok, New York, and Singapore’s Atlas—have curated a mischievous yet refined drinking experience with over 240 artisanal Mexican (agave) and 50 Asian (rice-based) spirits. The menu offers clever reinterpretations of classic cocktails—like the Cat Bite Margarita (tequila + mezcal) and the Soju Sprint—with each drink given an agave and rice-based twist. Expect whimsical creations such as the Hulk Splash, Mango Potato Boom, and Oaxacan Old Fashioned, alongside masterclasses and tasting flights through the Agave La & Rice Academy. A cosy, speakeasy vibe with minimalist, intentionally unfinished décor invites an intimate ambience. Every seat faces the bar, ensuring guests connect with knowledgeable bartenders who bring San Francisco‑style hospitality and spirited storytelling to Singapore’s thriving cocktail scene. The venue features occasional charity events like Milk Punch for a Cause supporting local cat charities. Accolades quickly followed: it won the Campari One To Watch award at The World’s 50 Best Bars 2024, entered Asia’s 50 Best Bars top‑100 at #77, and earned features in Tatler Asia and Time Out Singapore. It's perfect for adventurous drinkers seeking expert mixology, edgy yet inviting ambience, and a playful twist on the cocktail experience.
