The St. Regis Bar Singapore: Timeless Manhattan, Reinvented

Share Article

Where heritage meets haute hospitality, The St. Regis Singapore unveils the newly transformed St. Regis Bar—a bold tribute to the golden age of Manhattan, reimagined with contemporary flair. It is more than a bar. It is a living expression of elegance, conversation, and time-defying indulgence. Polished brass doors open into a space where old-world sophistication meets modern precision. The interiors read like a love letter to New York’s Art Deco grandeur, yet softened with botanical nuances, bespoke furnishings, and curated artwork that includes rare lithographs from Picasso’s Toro series. It is plush, it is layered, it is made for slow sips and long stories.

Design That Dares You to Linger

Step into an enclave designed for visual drama and intimate conversation. At its centre is a soaring birdcage-inspired back bar, its aged brass grid softly glowing with one of the city’s most impressive spirit collections. A liquid metal counter shimmers with a subtle dance of light, balanced by Tundra grey marble and suede banquettes that invite you to settle in and stay awhile.

From the semi-private alcove to the deep jewel-toned palette of reds, greens, and ebony, every detail of The St. Regis Bar has been shaped with intention, drawing from the elegance of a bygone era while speaking to the aesthetics of today’s design-savvy tastemakers.

Time After Time: Cocktails That Travel Through Eras

Behind the bar, Head Bartender Kelvin Saquilayan brings over a decade of global expertise, infusing the new “Time After Time” cocktail menu with thoughtfulness and flair. Formerly of Manhattan Bar, Kelvin is known for crafting drinks that are as emotionally intuitive as they are technically accomplished.

The menu? A curated journey through five decades—each pairing New York’s iconic eras with Singaporean nuance. From the 1920s Roaring Twenties to the disco-fuelled ‘70s and the avant-garde 1990s, each drink tells a story across time and continents. Highlights include:

  • The Straits Mary – A bold new iteration of the Bloody Mary, featuring bak kwa-infused bourbon, gochujang, chilli padi and black pepper for a complex Singapore twist.
  • Merlion Sling – A nostalgic nod to the Lion City, cleverly layered and tropical in spirit.
  • Disco-tea-que Spritz – Vibrant, sparkling and unapologetically playful.
  • DOF.01 Old Fashioned – A future-facing riff that holds its own in any decade.

Not a drinker? Their zero-proof options are just as bold. Crafted with clarified teas, tropical ferments, pineapple and oolong, they are flavourful enough to make you forget the booze entirely.

A Singapore Classic in the Making

At The St. Regis Bar, the art of hospitality is alive and deeply personal. As Kelvin shares, “The hallmark of an exceptional bartender lies in creating a space where every guest feels seen and celebrated.” And indeed, that spirit permeates everything—from the signature drinks to the perfectly balanced lighting to the low murmur of jazz that lingers in the air.

Whether you are closing a high-stakes deal, celebrating a milestone, or just savouring a moment alone with a martini in hand, the newly launched bar offers a drinking ritual that feels grounded, glamorous, and entirely of this moment. For those seeking experiences that whisper of luxury while boldly looking forward—The St. Regis Bar Singapore is your new address.
