Manhattan Bar

A sophisticated cocktail bar inspired by the Golden Age of fine drinking, bringing New York's glamour to Singapore

Manhattan is a cocktail bar at Conrad Singapore Orchard on Cuscaden Road, formerly associated with Regent Singapore. The bar is built around a New York theme, with drinks that reference classic American cocktail culture, a notable barrel-ageing programme and tableside service such as its Manhattan trolley. Recent coverage describes it as one of Asia's recognised hotel bars, with non-alcoholic cocktails also developed with the same level of care as its regular drinks. Guests can expect a polished hotel-bar setting rather than a casual pub: cocktails, spirits, bar bites and hosted drinking experiences are the main draw. It sits on the second floor of the hotel, making it a convenient Orchard-area option for date nights, business entertaining and visitors looking for a serious cocktail programme.
