Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2026: 4 Singapore Bars on The List 

In search of tipple spots? Consider these four Singaporean establishments that made it to this year’s edition of Asia’s 50 Best Bars.

Singapore is globally renowned for their gastronomy, so it is only fitting for the bar scene to measure up in its own right. For the 2026 edition of Asia’s 50 Best Bars, Hope & Sesame in Guangzhou takes the top spot. In the spirit of local representation, four bars from the little red dot made the cut.

Top amongst the four bars is Jigger & Pony. No stranger to the list, it has been part of it since its inaugural edition in 2016. Applying a contemporary lens to classic concoctions, they seek to redefine and reinterpret the experience of drinking a cocktail. 

Their anticipated annual menuzine release presents their refreshed cocktails offering in a unique manner, 2026’s edition ‘Bloom’ speaks of becoming and the in-between of creation and being, reflective of their steadfast commitment to convivial hospitality, craftsmanship and creative concepts.

#12: Nutmeg & Clove

The next Singaporean establishment to feature on the list is Nutmeg & Clove. Founded by industry veteran Colin Chia, their cocktails embody Singapore’s essence in drink form.

Each concoction features a uniquely Singaporean touch, be it how drinks are named to using iconic ingredients like Milo and Gula Melaka. Every sip brings you closer to discovering or reacquainting yourselves with everything and anything Singapore.

#16: Offtrack

Staying on track with Singaporean representatives, music-centric bar and restaurant concept Offtrack shows how music champions an experience, rather than as mere background music. Envisioned as a third space for creatives and community-forward individuals alike, Offtrack offers a restful, intimate atmosphere. Their acoustically treated space, restored Klipsch La Scala Speakers and their curation of Asian-centric sounds, Offtrack maintains a novel approach to hospitality within the industry.

#43: Origin Bar

Shangri-La Singapore’s Origin Bar places Singapore’s history and journey as a centrepiece, for inspiration and respect. Every year or so, the rotation of drinks undergoes a change, courtesy of the entire team’s effort rather than just the head bartender. Each creation is considered, with the current lineup ‘X’ comprising sixteen cocktails exploring the intersection of culture, memory, ritual and flavours.
