Little Birdie
An Experiential Cocktail Bar - Led by Elliot Pascoe, the creative force behind Sydney’s Bulletin Palace and Singapore’s 28 Hong Kong Street—both celebrated on the World’s 50 Best Bars list—Little Birdie is a cocktail bar hidden in plain sight. Guests will be greeted straight from the lifts into a space that’s a nod to the days when cocktails were about fun and surprise. With only 30 seats, this intimate, theatrical bar will take patrons on a journey with each drink, paired with an evolving food program that offers experiential omakase plates. Here, innovation and culinary delight dance together in perfect harmony.
“Being invited to be part of the C.O.T.U team by such nightlife titans is an incredible privilege. Singapore has never seen anything quite like this, and drawing from my journey through setting up award-winning bars, my aim at Little Birdie to instantly transport guests stepping out of the lifts, straight into a world of playful sophistication. Our goal is to create a playground for the palate, where each drink is a little adventure, and every visit to Little Birdie feels like discovering a new, fantastical world,” said Elliott.
As a Progressive Cocktail Bar, Little Birdie serves an array of delectable and well curated modern cocktails.. where head bartender Elliot Pascoe took us through behind the scenes of his distinct cocktail menu. Indeed an evening of gorgeous signature cocktails like Super Massive Blackhole and Luna Roja along with Provincial and Cave Nomad. CAVE Normand, a visual masterpiece featuring a frozen apple stalagmite intertwined with champagne, sets the tone for a mesmerizing experience. The Supermassive Black Hole, a cosmic concoction of rum, rye, and salted raspberry, based upon what we know of the actual smell of space - beckons exploration in a textured black ceramic mug.
The Alpine, a gin-based cocktail, catapults guests to the crisp heights of the Alps, complete with a rosemary glade and a whisper of menthol mist, while the Luna Roja recreates the enchantment of a red lunar eclipse with Racilla, kumquat, and creosote. The Cylindrical Forest, an enchanting blend inspired by Japan’s majestic peaks, is poured in a toasted bamboo cup, offering a taste of the untamed slopes in the wild. The Provincial, a rustic Calvados-based gimlet, rounds out the journey, evoking the rugged charm of the pristine alps.
At Little Birdie, where every sip soares to new heights, this luxurious cocktail nest reveals itself, with signature sips and unexpected flavours mingling in perfect harmony. With only 20 seats, this intimate perch offers a front-row seat to a culinary migration, where every drink is a new discovery, each garnish a delicate touch, and the ever-changing omakase menu orchestrates a seasonal symphony of flavors and sensations. Little Birdie's precision-poured cocktails are a testament to creativity and craftsmanship, waiting to be discovered.
