Quaich Bar Wanderlust

“What a gem of a place. We were going to be at the Rendezvous but they have shuttered the business. Lucky for us we found this place. Incredible selection of whiskies, including the motherload of Springbank. Very knowledgeable staff, engaging with customers. Highly recommend you visit when you’re in Singapore. I know we’ll be back for sure. 🥃 thanks Barry, Vino, Sting and everyone else who works here.”

“It was my first time visiting this whisky cocktail bar and I was so impressed! Love the tarot-menu card concept. Cocktails are whisky based and they’re all delicious. I actually LOVE the sparkling whisky aperitif which comes concocted in a bottle, available in a few flavours including citrus, floral and pandan. There’s also a selection of dehydrated fruit for you to choose from to add extra flavour. Food-wise, the salmon crisps are addictive! Also do try the spicy burrata picante, beef cheeks & mash, chunky chilli crabby dip, grilled pork jowl, and chicken cordon Bleu, all of which are good with drinks. Service was pleasant and attentive. Will definitely come back to try the other cocktails on the menu!”

“Quaich Bar Wanderlust is a wonderful spot in Singapore for anyone who enjoys whisky, good cocktails and a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. Located inside Frasers House (formerly the InterContinental Singapore), the bar has a cosy and elegant setting that’s perfect for unwinding in the evening. The drinks menu is thoughtfully curated, with a strong whisky selection and creative cocktails. As a member, I particularly appreciate the exclusive promotions they occasionally run on certain labels they carry — it’s a great way to explore different whiskies at very good value. The tapas are excellent as well and pair beautifully with the drinks. One feature I really enjoy is that if you order a bottle of whisky, the bartenders are happy to recommend and prepare different cocktails using that whisky for a small additional fee. It’s a fun way to explore the versatility of a bottle and really turns the experience into a whisky playground. What really makes the experience stand out, however, is the service. A special mention to Iris, Sting, Barry and the rest of the team for their warm hospitality. They are attentive, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about what they serve, always happy to recommend something new to try. All in all, a fantastic bar with great drinks, delicious bites and an outstanding team. Definitely a place I look forward to returning to.”

“Had an amazing experience at the bar thanks to the Barry! Friendly, attentive, and incredibly skilled at crafting drinks. Every cocktail was perfectly balanced and beautifully presented. Barry also took the time to recommend drinks based on our preferences, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Great service, great vibes and definitely someone who knows their craft well. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!”

“The whisky collection itself becomes part of the design, displayed on illuminated shelving where the bottles double as the room’s primary light source. Another eye catcher is the glass-rod chandeliers at the centre of the space. • The evening began with a welcome cocktail followed by sparkling whisky aperitifs infused with chamomile and osmanthus, offering a lighter, tea-like profile that eased naturally into the experience. • Paired with:
• Smoked Salmon Crisps
• Spicy Burrata Picante The smoked salmon crisps stood out for their contrast of textures, balancing savoury richness with freshness from the cherry tomato and crisp wonton base. • Their Whisky Mood-Guide Cocktails added an interactive layer to the evening, with each cocktail served alongside half a dram of its whisky base, allowing guests to explore the relationship between spirit and final composition. • Feeling Promiscuous: Oak & Spice
Feeling Carefree: Coastal & Honey Paired with:
• Chunky Chilli Crabby Dip
• Thai-Grilled Pork Jowl These dishes carried familiar Southeast Asian flavours that translated well in a cocktail setting, especially for a more international crowd. • The progression then moved towards deeper and more assertive flavour profiles: • Feeling Sexy: Sherry Smoother
Feeling Spontaneous: Ocean & Maple One leaned sherry-forward, while the other savoury salted chocolate notes. Paired with:
• Chicken Cordon Bleu
• Guinness-Braised Beef Cheeks & Mash The beef cheeks were particularly memorable, slow-cooked for hours until fork-tender with a rich, comforting finish. • To close the evening:
• The Sweet Ember
• Earl Fashioned
• Whisky Me Away The Sweet Ember arrived beneath a smoked glass dome, adding a theatrical final touch to the experience. • An enjoyable evening throughout, made even more memorable by the attentive hospitality from the team.”
