Tucked away at 115A East Coast Road in the Katong neighbourhood of Singapore, The Hidden Story is a speakeasy that entwines Prohibition-era mystique with the rich heritage of its locale. The entrance alone sets the tone: you pass through the freezer door of a steakhouse (Stirling Steakhouse) and ascend into a realm of dark wood floors, emerald-green walls, leather Chesterfields, Tiffany-style lamps and an illuminated onyx bar top wrapped in Peranakan tile motifs. Cocktails reflect the locale and concept – one signature is the “Peranakan Enclave”, combining gin, lychee and lemon to echo the region’s heritage. Another is the “Lavender Negroni” using butterfly-pea gin, rooted in local flavours. The menu doesn’t stop at drinks: you’ll also find a curated list of wines (from Rhône syrahs to New-World chardonnays) and a serious whiskey selection. With seating for around 40 and a capacity of around 50, the space is intimate and relaxed. On-site catering and event hire are offered for private groups. Opening hours are roughly 17:00/18:00 to midnight (Mon–Sat) and typically closed Sunday.
