Singapore is set to host a twelve-day celebration of its renowned cocktail industry from 1-12 May 2024. Thirty bars will offer specially priced signature cocktails and events, aiming to showcase the city’s best-loved bars and the vibrant cocktail scene. The campaign will also feature events and guest bar shifts.

Currently, Singapore has eleven bars listed in Asia’s 50 Best Bars, more than neighbouring countries, and several of these bars feature in the Cocktail Takeover next month, including Jigger & Pony, which ranked highest in the 2023 list at second. Other bars set to offer specially created cocktails as part of the campaign include well-known haunts such as MO Bar, White Shades, No Sleep Club, Nutmeg & Clove and Elephant Room (see appendix for full list of participating bars). 

“We really want to celebrate an industry and community that has become one of the jewels in i“Singapore has fallen in love with cocktails and cocktail culture over the last decade, and the result has been a thriving industry that brings in people from all over the world both to invest in, and visit our stunning bars. In May, a diverse group of these bars will be rolling out their best hospitality by offering new and unique cocktails at a special price, so that more Singaporeans can come bar-hopping and try cocktails whilst drinking a toast with our exceptional local bar fraternity.”
