Just posting some pictures to put a visual to the name/ingredients. The cocktails we tried were quite ordinary - as I mentioned before, & IMHO not that aesthetic either.

In terms of the overall experience, I felt the service could be warmer & more attentive too. We were the only customers seated at the tables (not sure if this is the usual weekend crowd.. It was Zouk Out weekend, after all), but no effort was made to check on us or ask us how our drinks/experience was.

Hope they can work on it - I can see this place having potential. It's also quite off the beaten path, which kind of has its charm... But on the flip side, if you're looking to do round 2 nearby, the options aren't plenty.

I liked the concept behind Stable Bar at Farrer Horse, located on the 2nd floor of The Sultan Hotel. Each cocktail had a unique equestrian story behind it, & the menu was thoughtfully designed to be a good read. Could be a fun activity to google/learn more about the horse-racing champions with various nuggets of info on the menu - e.g. their country, racing period, trainer's names, & accolades.

However, the drinks left much to be desired... They were quite ordinary & one-dimensional. I'd seen several hosted tastings on social media of the food & drinks prior. That got me pretty excited, but I left disappointed. (But also, to be fair - I didn't order any food, so I can't speak about their restaurant fare..)

Indoor space is lovely too, quite private, quiet & classy. Sat at the bar as we had to be moved indoors due to the drizzle that started shortly after we got seated outside.

Had an enjoyable time, & t'was made better with the warm hospitality of Head Bartender Ron Aransay.

Outdoor seats are comfortable, great for when it's not raining.. & there are cabanas by the poolside too, which are cozy for a group gathering.

There is a minimum spend to book the cabanas, which is reasonable if you're with a group of drinkers. (It was just 2 of us that night, so we didn't go for that, as tempting as it was).

Las Palmas by night; on the 33rd floor of Courtyard by Marriott Novena. It offers an unparalleled view of the Novena neighbourhood & a great, breezy space to unwind.

The rooftop pool is cool, although IMHO more appealing in the daytime when it's warm. I will need to swing by another time when the sun's out, to have a dip in the pool!

They also do bespoke cocktails ($26+); here's my Boulevardier, after bartender Mervyn had a chat with me on my drink/base/flavour preferences.

I enjoyed it, & appreciated that Mervyn checked in on how I liked my drink shortly after it was served. You'd think this is basic SOP at cocktail bars, but it is strangely absent in several spots in Singapore.
