Amazing cocktail bar

Aug 2020 • couples

One of the best bars I’ve been to in Singapore. The decor is from a prohibition era New York speakeasy and the bar area is one of the classiest I’ve seen. They have an extensive cocktail menu with drinks from different decades. The interesting part is their menu of aged cocktails which I’ve never seen before. I had the New York sour which was their take in a whisky sour. Really well thought of cocktail. It’s a bit pricey but the service and quality of drinks make it worth it.

Just wonderful

Sept 2019 • family

LOVE LOVE LOVE we arrived with no form of reservation and didn’t realise quite how busy it would be. Despite not having a seat for about 30 mins, the staff were so incredibly attentive and ensured we knew about all of the cocktail menu while waiting. A seat cake free at the bar and staff promptly moved up so we could sit. The menu is amazing, as someone who adores a good cocktail I was talking to a bartender about the kind of flavours I liked, and they made one especially for me. We stayed until they closed chatting with the staff and had such a wonderful time. I recommend here to anyone who visits Singapore.

Everyone should experience the Manhattan bar at least once in their life.

Mar 2023 • couples

We decided to visit the Manhattan bar after watching a YouTube clip. And we were so glad we did. Visiting this bar was the best thing we did on our entire vacation. The bar and surrounds were simply stunning, furniture was comfortable, atmosphere was cosy, warm, inviting and so incredibly relaxing. Every mouthful of food was like a taste of heaven and the cocktails were on another level. I can not rate this bar highly enough. Not forgetting to mention the staff, Ark and Mel made us feel like we had known them forever and were so welcoming, they had great knowledge of their cocktails and when asked for a recommendation on what to drink they listened to our likes and offered up suggestions that were spot on. Thank you Ark, Thank you Mel, we will be back! Tony & Julie

Memorable birthday celebration in a bad way

May 2023 • friends

Came here after dinner for some drinks with my friend as part of a birthday surprise. We made a booking for 830pm and arrived on the dot. As we had dinner prior we were still quite full and drinking not as fast. When our glasses were about half empty at about the server came and asked if we would like another drink, we said no for now as we were not quite done with our drink. 15 minutes later the same server came again and asked if we would like another, we told her perhaps later as we are good for now as we intended to choose another drink after we were done with this. However 5 minutes later she came back again with the bill and told us we can only have the table for 15minutes more. We were very shocked and asked if we could speak to the manager. The manager was very professional and clarified that there was no minimum spending nor any dining duration (as we checked this before reserving). It also didn’t help that on our left there was a gentleman who arrived at the same time as us but have yet to order anything this whole time as he was waiting for his companion. Yet the server left him alone and never once approached him for any orders. While the manager tried her best to remedy the situation which we truly appreciate, unfortunately the way the server behaved earlier had damaged the birthday celebration mood. while it was highly recommended by a friend who was a regular, we both had a less than ideal first experience and I doubt we will bring anyone else here again for any special occasions. For anyone thinking of visiting this place for a special occasion, I would strong suggest for you to reconsider your options.

3 out of 6 drinks were really bad

Nov 2022 • friends

This place has a cool ambiance and a robust cocktail menu which had us excited upon arrival. Unfortunately, between the two of us, we ordered 6 different cocktails and 3 of them were laughably bad. We told the bartender we did not like them and he did not seem to care and did not remove any of them from the bill. The other 3 were tasty although another complaint is that they were all pretty small. For $28 per drink, it is unacceptable for us to have these complaints, thus the two star rating. On a positive note, we had a burger and chicken wraps which were delicious.

Visited twice and 2 very different experiences. The first visit everything was amaaaazing!! Staff were friendly and helpful, cocktails were sublime. Second visit, seemed to be a different team. Cocktails were sloppy and missing garnishes from the previous visit. Service was slow for a very similar number of people present. I'd still recommend but maybe if you're unlucky and go on a bad night don't begrudge visiting again as they really can put on a show!

Triple threat- great service, drinks and ambience

Jan 2021 • couples

We love coming to Manhattan because service is always warm and friendly and it feels like home. Tim and Alson made our drinks tonight and we love that they had ideas about what spirit, bitters or liqueur went better with a particular cocktail we chose. Justin was our waiter the last time we visited; he remembered us and popped by to say hi, which is amazing because they must get a lot of guests! And of course the drinks are fabulous and the ambience cosy (they have a Christmas tree in the corner for the festive season, which works well with the leather sofas and wood paneling). We like the redemption burger and the clam chowder (full of goodness!) Do pay them a visit when you are next in Singapore, hopefully this year if borders re-open.

Well-crafted cocktail lounge

Apr 2023 • friends

This restaurant is located inside an opulent hotel on the second floor. It certainly does have the environment of a Manhattan lounge, with comfortable lounge seating and low lighting. The cocktails were excellent and there is an extensive menu of options. The food was good, although the scallop entree that I ordered lacked the depth of flavor that you may expect at a well-rated restaurant

Hd Bartender Needs to be Open to Feedback

Feb 2022 • friends

Pointed out a marketing and fundamental area for improvement (or flaw - depending on how seriously and harshly <to themselves for improvement> Manhattan decides to to take this feedback, which I had communicated but the response was at best lukewarm) when I was there this evening. While I understand that the glasses tried to follow the “golden age” in Manhattan during the 20s, Im not sure if this consistency is held for the other modern day concoctions, answer is that its not. So for the Vesper Martini, as ardent fans would know, was created in 1953 by Ian Fleming for Casino Royale. It was served in a proper martini glass because it was an off the cuff creation by Bond (Fleming of course). To serve the Vesper in a 20s glass was both demeaning and fundamentally flawed. To (hopefully for Manhattan) know that its competitors Mortons Bar and Jigger & Pony followed the fundamentals to the “t”s and still insist on a flawed and illogical thought - would be almost suicidal. Cocktails are about its taste, its fundamentals, its presentation as well as the (logical and interesting) stories surrounding it. Any misstep in any of these areas will cause a cognitive / emotional / taste dissonance for the drinker. Manhattan is a great place painstakingly built up but if it were to maintain its front runner position, should seriously consider accepting feedback (Hd Bartender was Kelvin who didnt quite want to accept the feedback nor thought it important enough to have a mini discussion at least?!) Adaptability, admittance and improvements are key to success - no one is ever to big to fail, so think about this.

A Friday Ritual

Nov 2021 • solo

I often show up on a Friday to enjoy the wonderful service and drinks. Rusty, Kelvin, Sophia, Yogi, and Yahan always take the time to have a conversation, check-in. Everyone needs to take the time to get to know the amazing staff. It only makes the experience better. Recommend the Lady Of Song and Kiss and Cry for champagne cocktail lovers, the popcorn is addictive!

Attentive Service and Excellent Drinks!

I've been coming here for awhile, and there is a reason. A special place isn't just the quality food and drink, it's the people. I appreciate the personal connection and service, as well as the great drinks. They have a wonderful curated menu with many options, and can also make you anything you need. Ask for a great martini or a manhattan, you won't be a disappointed.

Classy bar.

Jul 2022 • family

I found and booked it after doing a search on good bars in Singapore.we went together and we had a warm welcome from the hostess who led us to our table. The bar itself was classy with good background music and low lighting. The hostess brought some water and a small hibiscus based liquor and we ordered our cocktails from the Manhattan based characters in the menu. The cocktails were inventive and we had a pleasant 90 mins before we went off to our restaurant. The prices are steep but we enjoyed the experience.

Never again.

Sept 2021 • friends

For a first time experience of this place, it was a huge disappointment. Booked a table with my girlfriends for my birthday. As our drinks were being served, the staff poured an entire glass of drinks down my back. While I am sure it was an accident and the lady did apologize once for it, getting soaked with a cold drink on the back was not how i imagined my birthday drinks would start. I did choose not to make a big deal out of it but found it even more disappointing that there was no further apology for the incident. The place looks good but the kind of service we got certainly defined the whole Manhattan experience to the point that the food and drinks did not have an impact to us at all.
