Bannie Kang—the 2021 Bartenders' Bartender Award winner—and chef-spouse Tryson Quek evolved a home supper club into this inconspicuous Neil Road neighbourhood bar that entered Asia's 50 Best at No. 53 as a new entry in 2025. The programme blends mixology and culinary craft in an intimate, minimalist space designed to feel familiar rather than exclusive. Side Door operates on the principle that the best bars feel like extensions of someone's home. Kang's hospitality instinct makes that illusion seamless.
