Ask any avid drinker which bar is worth visiting in Singapore, and most would have more than one reason to put Jigger & Pony at the top of the list. Extroverts would love the dynamic space, an open-plan seating that encourages a sociable atmosphere and convivial conversations. Cheery mixologists make sure to greet any patrons, helping newcomers settle as comfortably as frequenters. At the centre of it all, of course, are the cocktails that would arrest anyone’s attention. It’s in the name, after all, taken from the dual-sided conic measuring tool bartenders use.
The ever-changing lineup is presented as a menuzine straight out of an editorial office, making the booklet itself a collectible time capsule. Its current edition, Bloom, is a 24-piece collection curated around the idea of unfurling discoveries that leave one feeling rosy enough to settle in and savour the moment. Split into sections of Hope, Growth, (Spring) Beauty, Just Be, and Free Spirited, find whimsical creations like the Manhattan, a chocolate-and-cherry-tinged riff on the classic whisky-based drink. Still, among all its whimsies, Jigger & Pony’s creations never stray too far from the basics, walking the fine line between familiarity and novelty in a way that warrants its seven-year streak of appearing on the Best Bars list.
