Nutmeg & Clove

Nutmeg & Clove is where Singapore's vibrant history and culinary future collide in the most delicious way. Housed in a charming shophouse on Purvis Street, this bar brings the city’s rich tapestry of spice trade heritage to life with every sip. The decor—pastel pink walls adorned with iconic Singaporean imagery, vintage 1960s posters, and intricate woodwork—sets the stage for an unforgettable experience. Here, cocktails are not just drinks; they’re a journey through Singapore’s past and present, inspired by the William Farquhar Collection of Natural History Drawings.

The cocktail menu is a bold celebration of local flavors. Think nutmeg, clove, coriander, and laksa leaves, with playful names like Stylo Milo and Stay Calm Lah. Signature drinks such as the Slinging Lion and Don’t Chicken Out showcase inventive twists on classics, while Chinese zodiac-inspired concoctions keep things fresh and exciting. Complementing the cocktails, the bar offers a curated selection of local-themed bar bites like mala sweet potato fries and rendang mac & cheese, making it a paradise for food and drink lovers alike.
