Live Twice

Singapore

Top 10 nominee for Best International Cocktail Bar, Asia Pacific at the 2023 Spirited Awards, No. 65 on Asia's 50 Best Bars 2022, and No. 75 on Asia's 50 Best Bars 2021.

Live Twice is Jigger & Pony Group's mid-century Tokyo-inspired cocktail bar, open since 2019 in a 1930s Bukit Pasoh shophouse with about forty seats, Falcon chairs, Saarinen Tulip stools and a Noguchi Akari lamp. The mood is film noir with house-party warmth. Principal bartender Luca Lulli keeps drinks minimalist and spirit-forward. The current menu takes its four chapters from lines of the 1967 Bond theme the bar is named after: an opening shot, Nikolaschka's Gun; reworked classics such as a Rusty Nail on house-made honey liqueur; originals like the White Bikini, with dark rum, toasted rice and a touch of baijiu; and two easy closers. The yōshoku kitchen serves a Wagyu Katsu Sando and a beef tongue curry rice bowl.
