Nestled on 16 Duxton Road in Singapore’s Tanjong Pagar / Duxton Hill enclave, RPM by D.Bespoke offers a refined yet inviting nightlife experience rooted in Japanese mixology and vintage music culture. From the moment you step inside, you’ll be met with shelves of vinyl records that stretch floor to ceiling, a turntable spinning deep cuts and guest DJ nights that transform the space into an acoustic mood-scape. The drinks menu centres around shōchū—a Japanese distilled spirit—Presented both neat and incorporated into innovative cocktails that reinterpret classics (for example, shōchū-based Negroni, lemon sour, or barrel-aged mixes) with flair. The vibe balances sophistication and accessibility: though the bar draws from the team behind the elite Ginza-style D.Bespoke, this sibling location is more relaxed but still stylish. Expect low lighting, warm wood and brass accents, and a soundtrack that ranges from Japanese jazz to American funk and soul. Service is knowledgeable and the bartenders often guide you through their shōchū selection, encouraging tasting flights for newcomers. While the food menu is modest compared to the drinks, it complements the experience for those staying longer. Reviews note that the bar is best visited on weekdays if you prefer a more relaxed pace, as weekends can be busier and more high-energy. In short: if you’re after cocktails with substance, a soundtrack to savour, and an atmosphere that blends Japanese craftsmanship with vintage laid-back groove in the heart of Singapore’s nightlife district—RPM by D.Bespoke is a standout.
