Loosen your tie or kick off your heels, it’s time to unwind with your tipple of choice. Whether you’re looking for post-work drinks to celebrate the end of the workday or hunting for a hip new spot to hang out with friends, these three bars at JW Marriott have you covered.
Tonic
Private conversations thrive in this intimate space that’s a hidden library dedicated to gin. Tucked away in a quiet corner away from the bustle of the hotel’s main lobby, this plush bar's design with four mismatched chandeliers and opulent trimmings scream a certain renowned French designer.
Settle into one of its leather sofas and let the bartender mix you the perfect gin and tonic using artisanal, small-batch spirits from across the globe. He pairs Mom ($25), a berry infused gin from Britain with East Imperial Old World tonic for those looking for something sweet and refreshing. The Ink Dry Gin ($25) is another unique find with its pretty pale purple hue, pair it with yuzu tonic for a rejuvenating burst of bright, citrusy flavour.
Court Martial Bar
Attention! March on down to Court Martial Bar for heritage cocktails with a twist. Its signature drink, the Heritage Sling ($22), adapts the recipe from its neighbour and uses house-infused triple sec for a touch of spice. The notoriously sweet sling is also tempered with Tiger beer for a touch of bitterness and depth. It doesn’t get more local than that.
Aside from the Singapore Sling, the bar menu features a host of other redefined classics such as an Old Fashioned ($24) mixed with homemade pistachio syrup and barrel-aged cocktails that have been left in oak to mature for two to four weeks.
The three bars are holding popups on November 2 (Media Bar) at Ocean Financial Centre from 11am-2pm, 4pm-7pm; and November 4 (Court Martial Bar) and 5 (Tonic) at Ion Orchard, Level 1 Atrium from 10am-10pm. Head on down to experience what they have to offer.
