If you work in cbd, you NEED to know these award-winning/super popular local bars at the back of your head. Why? Because theyโre gonna seriously impress your friends/co-workers (or even your boss ๐ณ) during an #AfterHours night out ๐ฎโ๐จ๐
Located just 6 minutes away from Esplanade MRT station and 10 minutes away from City Hall MRT station, these bars nestled along Purvis Street are conveniently right next to each other / across the road so you guys can go bar hopping! ๐
Went bar hopping with #My9to5 friends (my bosses were the ones who brought us there!) and boy were we impressed by all three cocktail barsโ service, drinks, vibes were simply immaculate ๐ฅ
Without further ado, here are the three HOTTEST cocktail bars in cbd right now (+bonus at the end)!!
โโโโโโโโโ

๐ 8 Purvis St, Singapore 188587
Ranked no.7 on the list of Asiaโs 50 Best Bars , Nutmeg & Clove is known for its uniquely Singaporean cocktails, good vibes and amazing hospitality ๐ฅ
Their latest menu, the Singapore Personalities Volume Seven, features an array of drinks that were inspired by local personalities like Benjamin Kheng, Phua Chu Kang, Zoe Tay, etc!! Super cool hehe ๐

When we visited, it was also coincidentally during a guest takeover by Jose Luis Leon, the lead bartender of Licorerรญa Limantour in Mexicoโ a bar ranked no.4 on the list of WORLDโs 50 Best Bars ๐คฉ We tried all four cocktails from the guest shift and really enjoyed them all ๐
As part of their 9th anniversary, you guys can expect a lineup of guest shifts / events all the way till 28th May! ๐ค

๐ 8 Purvis St, #02-01, Singapore 188587
A bar focused on Japanese classics and ingredients, you can find the sister-brand of Nutmeg & Clove seated directly above on the second level of the shophouse (N&C occupies the first) ๐คช
Apart from their already extensive cocktail menu, Last Word also features a themed menu that changes with the four seasons of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter ๐คฉ
Theyโre currently serving the Summer menu (till June) and features a variety of Stranger & Sons gin as base (the base will change every season!)โ๏ธ
๐ช๐ ๐ข๐ฅ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐:
โญ๏ธ ๐พ๐๐๐๐-๐ด๐๐๐๐๐ ($26)
โSummer 2023 Menu, Available from now till June

โญ๏ธ ๐ณ๐๐๐ ๐พ๐๐๐ ($25)
โHouse Signature Cocktail
โGin, Green Chartreuse, Maraschino, Lime served with Homemade Brandied Cherry
In contrary to Nutmeg & Clove, Last Word was a really quaint, chill bar complemented with a Japanese-minimalistic vibe to it ๐ Would 10/10 recommend this place if youโre looking to just have a chill night out!!

๐ Website | Instagram | Cocktail Menu | Reservation
๐ 36 Seah St, Singapore 188392
Located further down the road is Tess Bar & Kitchenโ albeit vastly different from the first two bars we visited, it definitely does feel cosier and more casualโ just like home & more of a โdive barโ vibe! ๐
You can also expect to see a huge variety of food apart from the assortment of award-winning cocktails by their bartenders ๐ and if you ask me, Iโd say Tess Bar & Kitchen is a really great place to kickstart your night of bar hopping because yโall can have dinner here first (NEVER drink on an empty stomach pls) ๐คค๐ค
