Tucked away on the second floor above Park Bench Deli in Telok Ayer, Shin Gi Tai is a nondescript gem in Singapore’s 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 bartender—led by Anthony Zhong, formerly of Ginza’s Coffee Bar K and Jigger & Pony—to 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 bites—think dumplings, mala chicken karaage, wagyu don, and even uni pasta—perfectly complementing the cocktails with bold, umami-packed flavors. Open Monday through Saturday from 6 pm to midnight, Shin Gi Tai eschews flashy promotion. There’s no website or Instagram—reservations are typically made via call or WhatsApp, reinforcing its insider allure. Guests rave about the bartender’s hospitality and the quality of the drinks: “BEST negroni in Singapore!” one review exclaims, and others praise the personal touch and intimate vibe that make every visit memorable. It’s a bar that feels like a trusted secret everyone wants to share—but few know.
