The Rabbit Hole
Specialty Gin Garden Bar in Dempsey For a botanical spirit with a rich colonial history, there’s no place quite like The Rabbit Hole at The White Rabbit for a gin lover to be. Recently relaunched as a specialty gin garden bar, its new gin programme offers a collection of 15 gin & tonics that are smartly categorized into five different flavour profiles. Expect signatures like G’Vine Floraison from The New Classics, Monkey 47 from Complex & Unexpected – which features gins that carry many layers of flavour and botanicals – and the well-known No.3 from Traditional London Dry. Prices range from $15 to $22 per glass and can be enjoyed with East Imperial Tonic Water (additional $2) or their housemade tonic, which is perfect for those who prefer their tipples non-fizzy. And launching in September is a complementing selection of six sweet crepes in flavours such as Yuzu Butter & Sugar, Salted Caramel and Lemon Curd with Lemon Zest. Watch out for that live crepe station! The White Rabbit, 39C Harding Road, Singapore 249541Copper
Meat & Gin Haven at Jiak Chuan Road Over at Jiak Chuan Road, eclectic gin bar Copper, opened late last year in a two-storey shophouse, which is decked in futuristic and steampunk-esque theme. Downstairs, the gin-heavy menu includes over 30 self-infused gin concoctions with teas, spices and herbs, plus a variety of champagnes and spirits. Pair your drinks with a unique range of hot bar snacks, such as Angus Beef Meatballs, Beef Tendon Nachos and Babi Guling Tacos. Gin tonics are priced at $10 onwards. Upstairs, the recently launched restaurant offers a modern omakase concept that is centered on meat – and lots of it. The two communal-style menus – 5-course Voyage ($128++) and 8-course Discovery ($178++) – include mains like Kagoshima Wagyu Beef and Pigeon a la Francaise, with accompanying side dishes and desserts to boot.
