[CLOSED] The Spiffy Dapper (Amoy Street)

This hard to find speakeasy bar isn’t the cheapest bar but for a one time experience the interiors does give off a Captain Hook’s Lair vibes. Will still prefer some other bar options personally. Here I got a bespoke gin cocktail - nothing fancy but $26 whoops.

Ordered this as it's name sounded very interesting and it did live up to expectations. There was some rose extract being used but the proportion was well controlled as it did not overpower the vodka. The frozen rose and rose bits also provided an additional sensory experience. This bar is crazy popular so I would recommend getting there before 10pm if you like a seat!

Loving the moderately dark ambience here with Elton John and various other goldies serenading the cafe. Great place to chill with your friends over a cuppa.

Served in a cute elephant cup 🐘. I looked this up because I was curious - Sullivan is an elephant that performed for an american circus troop in the early 1900s - definitely fits in with the theme of the bar.

Lightly bitter drink with the lavendar and rosemary giving floral + herbal notes🍃.

Hot, buttery magic begging to be unleashed in all its oozy, creamy glory from its cheese wheel prison, then whisked away on toast into my mouth. Pickled balsamic grapes and honey stand guard to provide acidity and sweetness.

Taste: 4/5

The corpulent corpse of the kraken sang to me like sirens to an ancient mariner, beckoning me to plunder the ebony treasure within. Alas, false hope - underseasoned Mexican squid ink rice and a watery chipotle aioli brulee only served to condemn this cephalopod that could not make the cut, to the status of merely treading culinary water.

Taste: 2/5
