About Bitters & Love

Ring the doorbell on Telok Ayer Street and duck into a dark room where drinks double as bar bites. Patrons turn up for pours paired with food—most notably a cocktail topped with toasted kaya bread—alongside house-made bitters, peaty Ardbeg blends, and sizzling wagyu cubes from the kitchen. Bartenders work the counter like old friends, steering orders through a handy flavor wheel to pinpoint what you want next.

  • Doorbell Entrance Ritual: Guests ring an entry doorbell to access a dim, speakeasy-style retreat set apart from the Telok Ayer bustle.
  • Cocktails with Edible Garnishes: Signatures pair playful local flavors with actual food accompaniments, including a Kaya Toast cocktail served with toasted kaya bread.
  • House Bitters & Guided Pours: Bartenders make their own bitters in-house and walk guests through visual flavor wheels to match individual drink preferences.

Before you head over

Essential tips to navigate entry, table timing, and drink selections. Book your table now to secure an intimate evening.

  • Ring the Doorbell to Enter

    The bar sits behind an unassuming vintage door that remains closed; ring the doorbell once to be ushered into the speakeasy.

  • Mind the Seating Limit on Busy Nights

    Peak evenings like Friday fill up fast and tables may carry a one-hour dining limit, so plan your timing and reserve ahead if you want to linger over rounds.

  • Navigate Flavours with the In-House Menu

    Online drink listings may not match seasonal rotations; consult the printed menu's flavour wheel or ask the bartenders for guided recommendations.
