Shin Gi Tai

Singapore

Shin Gi Tai is a Japanese-style cocktail bar on the second floor of a Telok Ayer Street shophouse, opened in 2015 by Anthony Zhong, who trained at Coffee Bar K in Ginza and was a founding bartender at Jigger & Pony. There is no printed menu: guests describe what they like and the bartender builds a drink to order, served over hand-carved ice. The back bar carries a wide range of Japanese whisky, bar snacks run from gyoza to mala chicken, and seats are by reservation through WhatsApp.
