RVLT
Progressive gastro wine bar for natural wines and punchy sharing plates on Carpenter Street.
RVLT is a Singapore natural wine pioneer that describes itself as a progressive gastro wine bar built around genuine winegrowers, sustainability and naturality. Founded by Singaporean sommeliers Alvin Gho and Ian Lim, it focuses on juicy, high-drinkability bottles that change often rather than a fixed classic list. The Carpenter Street venue runs from late afternoon into the night from Monday to Saturday, with a communal food menu of snacks, appetisers, mains and desserts designed for sharing. It is one of the clearest reference points for natural wine in Singapore.
RVLT is at its best when you hand over a flavour brief and let the team pull something lively from the wall. It has the restless energy of a bar that keeps moving, with bottles from small growers and a kitchen that understands wine-friendly salt, acid and texture. Regulars like it because the list rarely feels static. The honest trade-off is that the style skews firmly natural and adventurous, so drinkers looking for polished Bordeaux or predictable labels may prefer another room.
RVLT remains essential for its role in shaping Singapore's natural wine scene, backed by sommelier ownership, strong food, and a consistently energetic bar experience.
