Tucked away at 38 Prinsep Street in Singapore’s cultural district, MAMA DIAM brings the spirit of the old “mama shop” (neighbourhood provision store) into a stylish, hidden-bar setting. From the vintage signage and snack-lined shelves at the entrance to the stylish interior beyond the sliding ‘secret’ bookcase door, this venue seamlessly blends playful nostalgia with contemporary craft. Once inside, you’ll find a full cocktail bar and restaurant featuring modern twists on local favourites. The menu includes share plates and mains inspired by Singaporean hawker classics, re-imagined with flair — for example, soft-shell-crab baos, pork-belly char siew tacos, and tasting sets of nine small bites. On the drinks side, expect creative cocktail concoctions: from tea-infused pot-served drinks to espresso-martini riffs using rum and whisky, and local-favourite flavourings such as pandan sour. The ambience is relaxed yet stylish — making it a good pick for both after-work drinks and dinner with friends. The hidden entrance and fun design elements give it that speakeasy feel; whilst the food and drink execution keep it contemporary and craft-focused. Reviewers highlight how the nostalgic touches make this bar not just about the drinks, but an experience regarding memory, locale and vibe.
