The Other Room is a speakeasy-style bar hidden behind black velvet drapes on the ground floor of the Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel on Orchard Road. It opened in 2016 with Dario Knox as master bartender, in a Prohibition-era room. Its signature is cask finishing: the team finishes more than 100 spirits in house, in barrels that once held wine, sherry or port, and uses them in timeless classics and bolder house creations. The back bar adds whiskies from around the world and agave spirits, and tapas such as beetroot hummus and ribeye are served through the night. Renowned guest bartenders visit often.
