Singlish — Restaurant in New York

My wife and I came here for pre-dinner drinks on a Thursday, having made a reservation via Resy in advance. We had seats at the bar, and as such were able to have a front row seat to watch the bartender crafting the novel, interesting drinks on the menu. We enjoyed the Ho Seh Boh, One Bam, and Chope which were their variations on an Old Fashioned, classic Martini, and clarified milk punch, respectively. All were well made and offered flavor profiles not commonly found in the above-mentioned classic recipes. The space is trendy yet comfortable, perched above 13th St. with an attractive bar stocked with uncommon and high-end bottles. The service was excellent, and the bartender was helpful in recommending drinks based on our likes. Definitely worth the higher price point at $20-26 per drink, especially...

My friends and I were so lost trying to find Singlish. LOL. Tucked away upstairs, you enter a dimly light, gorgeous space. You feel very royal.

The service was good, and attentive. I really enjoyed the unique cocktails. I personally had the 'One Bam' and I added rum to the durian mocktail. One Bam was strong, but the flavors were too subtle for me. The durian mocktail was flavorful and I was happy with how much it actually tasted like durian.

I tried my friends' cocktails as well and my favorite was the Thai Iced Tea one. It was smooth and very well put together. Best and only(?) thai iced tea cocktail ive had.

I am docking a star because while Singlish had great cocktails, many were just not worth the price. I would come here for a special occasion and not...
