Southside Parlor

The brainchild of three American expats from Texas, Southside Parlor opened its doors in 2013 and is one of the best places in town for superb cocktails. Tucked away on the fourth floor of a building, this friendly spot though unmarked is a welcoming abode once inside. Antique leather sofas and cartoon posters set the tone of this bar. Board games, arcade games, live music and hookah are for added entertainment. Tipple on artisan cocktails that keeps on rotating. What sets them apart is that they make their own syrups, juices, tonic water and sodas. Even their food menu is innovative and tasty. Check out the vista from their terrace if weather permits.

Alice Cheongdam

Inspired by Alice in Wonderland, Alice Cheongdam is an exquisite bar waiting to be found.

Once you are past this doorway, you will enter the actual bar which is elegantly done up with chic British aesthetics and is dimly lit. You will find the rabbit impression on almost everything and an edition of the novel. Mysterious alleys and crannies lead to the bathrooms and private rooms. But it is not only its dramatic settings that has caught the fancy its visitors. Its exploratory cocktails are an ode to its decor. Get set to be dazzled by the theatrical presentation of their drinks and snacks.
