Smoke & Mirrors invites you to experience cocktail creation as visual art, perched on the rooftop of National Gallery Singapore beneath the city skyline. Its sculptural mirrored bar fuses indoor and outdoor space, drawing inspiration from the surrounding heritage site and Southeast Asiaâs largest modern art collection. Led by creative bartenders like Mel John Chavez, the programâbranded "The Real Art of Drinking"âweaves art principles (Contrast, Movement, Proportion) into its drinks lineup. Menu volumes explore everything from classic Sazeracs to theatrical originals like âThe Manhattan Projectâ and visually striking creations such as the âMoves Like Jiggerâ and âLicense to Killâ. Cocktails run about SGDâŻ30â34 (~USDâŻ22â25) per glass . The setting is intimate and upscaleâwicker furniture lines a long terrace overlooking Padang, Esplanade Park, and Marina Bay as the sun sets. Expect polished cityâchic vibes, light bites (truffle fries, tacos, cheese-martini pairings), and friendly professional service. Reservations recommended; outdoor seats carry a minimum spend (SGDâŻ40â60) depending on the day. Dress code: casualâcity chic (no flip-flops or gym attire). Note: Smoke & Mirrors will close its National Gallery location on MarchâŻ15,âŻ2025 after nine memorable yearsâhowever, the team hints at future ventures elsewhere.
