If you’re new to Singapore’s cocktail scene, Operation Dagger is a great place to start. But what stole our hearts was the Choc Pinot – pinot noir fermented with raw cocoa nibs. Should you successfully manage to navigate your way past it, you descend down a dark, dubious stairway into what reveals itself to be a spacious underground lair. One of the bar’s most notable cocktails—and the one that seems to get patrons most excited—is the Cheese, No Egg. It’s also a nod towards Head Bartender Thomas Girard’s sustainability-driven ethos.

Once you find your way into this subterranean bar (which takes a bit of ingenuity as there is no sign, merely a logo above a doorway), you’ll be greeted with a light cloud, formed from a several hundred lightbulbs (one for each Eureka moment the team have had), bunker-chic decor (very minimalist so as not to detract from the drinks) and a whole lot of creativity.
