D.Bespoke is a refined speakeasy-style cocktail bar that transports you directly to Ginza’s revered bar scene, expertly recreated in Singapore’s Tanjong Pagar district by owner-bartender Daiki Kanetaka. Enter through a sleek retail front showcasing bespoke glassware, leather goods, and curious treasures like a vintage fixie. A discreet timber door leads to an intimate lounge anchored by a solid teak bar and plush Japanese-leather armchairs for 14, with an additional 14 seats in a Chesterfield-style lounge. Every detail is meticulously considered—from hand-carved ice and personalized glassware to the attentive service hierarchy reminiscent of elite Ginza establishments. Kanetaka, a certified venenciador (sherry sommelier), brings encyclopedic knowledge to his craft, offering refined tasting flights of sherry, Armagnac, and Calvados, alongside classic and bespoke cocktails prepared with artisanal precision. Expect ritualistic elegance: you're greeted with a hot towel, nuts or dried fruit, and a thoughtfully curated palette cleanser before your drink is tailored and personally poured by Kanetaka himself. The atmosphere is hushed, ideal for meaningful conversation—it lives quietly among Singapore’s nightlife, revered by those “in the know”. While reservations are recommended, there’s no cover charge—but a minimum spend of S$60 per person applies. Crafted cocktails average around US $25, with custom and spirit pours starting from S$27 and tasting flights from S$25.
