"28" WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

Our story begins with a thirst for intoxicating spirits and an ambition to bring the very best of craft spirits to Asia; three ex-lawyers, and cocktail enthusiasts founding a boozy neighbourhood cocktail bar in Singapore.

28 HongKong Street opened in 2011, at the vanguard of the rise of Singapore as a global capital of modern cocktail culture, and was inspired by some of the great New York cocktails bars of the early 2000's; Milk and Honey, PDT, Employee's Only. Serving only the finest of craft independent brands, this renown bar created a ‘spirit’ movement with other bar owners in Singapore and so began a small distribution arm, which quickly grew.
