Native

Singapore

No. 31 on Asia's 50 Best Bars 2024, No. 6 on Asia's 50 Best Bars 2020, and No. 14 on Asia's 50 Best Bars 2021.

Vijay Mudaliar pioneered urban foraging in Singapore's cocktail scene and built a three-story Amoy Street shophouse around the philosophy: restaurant at ground level, cocktail bar on the second floor, fermentation lab on the third. Ranked No. 45 on Asia's 50 Best Bars and No. 84 globally in 2025, Native sources regional spirits and foraged ingredients to produce drinks that taste like Southeast Asia rather than a Southeast Asian interpretation of London or New York. Mudaliar's commitment to sustainability runs from sourcing to service, and the influence on Singapore's broader bar culture is immeasurable. It currently stands at No. 80 on Asia's 50 Best Bars 2026.
