Tucked away on the second floor above Park Bench Deli in Telok Ayer, ShinâŻGiâŻTai is a nondescript gem in Singaporeâs cocktail scene that thrives on subtlety. This no-menu speakeasy invites you to share your flavor preferences rather than browse a printed list, allowing the bartenderâled by Anthony Zhong, formerly of Ginzaâs Coffee Bar K and Jigger & Ponyâto choreograph a tailor-made drink, meticulously served over hand-carved ice. Inside, the ambiance is warm and personal: a green-tiled back bar, soft lighting, and limited seating create a snug setting ideal for quiet conversations or a relaxed date night. The bar also offers a curated selection of izakaya-style bitesâthink dumplings, mala chicken karaage, wagyu don, and even uni pastaâperfectly complementing the cocktails with bold, umami-packed flavors. Open Monday through Saturday from 6âŻpm to midnight, ShinâŻGiâŻTai eschews flashy promotion. Thereâs no website or Instagramâreservations are typically made via call or WhatsApp, reinforcing its insider allure. Guests rave about the bartenderâs hospitality and the quality of the drinks: âBEST negroni in Singapore!â one review exclaims, and others praise the personal touch and intimate vibe that make every visit memorable. Itâs a bar that feels like a trusted secret everyone wants to shareâbut few know.
