Singlish pays homage to the world-class Singapore craft cocktail culture in a tongue-in-cheek fashion with the help of Beverage Director Colin Stevens.
“Fabulous atmosphere! Such a sweet gem - think tree house meets folklore cabin. Cozy but not obnoxiously tight. Oozing with warm charm ! Hospitable and entertaining bartender - we ordered all the tapas. The duck tongues were my faves. And we had a double order of fries. We arrived at 6p to beat the crowd. Loved it. And it came under 75 usd ! So very reasonable, yes? YES!”
“Dimly lit, attentive service, clarified cocktails. Loved spending a few hours at Singlish/Jelas. Tan was a great hostess and I can’t wait to be back.”
“Great, unique drinks and really nice bartender. He was cool to talk to and was very generous with us. Awesome selection of whiskey here as well. (:”
“Singlish has beautifully intimate seating that feels quietly sophisticated—perfect for a date night or a slow, thoughtful evening out. I had a Mezcal-based cocktail that was balanced, elegant, and subtly layered without overpowering the palate. The staff was poised and attentive, completing the experience with understated class.”
“Here’s a warm, upbeat review you can use: ⸻ I had such a great time at Singlish near Union Square! The cocktails are insanely good—super balanced, creative, and way more interesting than your average bar menu. The whole space has a relaxed, intimate vibe that makes it perfect for catching up with friends or easing into a night out. I definitely recommend making a reservation The bartender was also incredibly friendly and happy to walk us through the menu, which made the experience even better.
