Singapore

Minimalist speciality coffee cafe serving Japanese-style artisanal brews (from Japanese roasters); feels like a slice of Kyoto.

Creative, dual-concept spot that's a laid-back cafe and wine bar in the front and a high-energy craft cocktail bar in the back at night. Can usually catch an awesome live show of some sort on Friday's and Saturday's.

Cocktail bar in Chinatown with inventive, Singapore-inspired cocktails.

In the running for best cocktail bar in the world in my books. Super inventive drinks, incredibly friendly servers, and a best vibe of any bar I've been to. I've pulled out Shazam here more than anywhere else.

Multi-level bar and restaurant that highlights southeast Asian spirits, foraged and fermented ingredients, without sacrificing being absolutely delicious.

Vibrant multi-story cocktail bar where each floor has a unique vibe, AND unique menu. The ground floor has boozy gelatos, second floor with great cocktails and food, and top floor with a casual rooftop + tap drinks. Not sure what's on the third.
