Description

The bar Jigger & Pony operates in Singapore's Amara Hotel. Fodor's describes the space as "cozy", "inviting", and dimly lit. [7] The Infatuation has described the interior is "sultry, sleek, and upholstered with more velvet than Prince's wardrobe". [8] The drink menu has traditional cocktails such as martinis, negronis, and old fashioneds, as well as "signature" options such as a gin fizz with orange flower bubbles and a whiskey sour with yuzu marmalade. [7]

Saverio Casella is the principal bartender. [16]

Reception

The Spirits Business has said Jigger & Pony is among Southeast Asia's "most high-profile" bars. [17] Jigger & Pony was ranked Asia's best bar in the Asia's Best Bars list in 2020. [18] [19] [20] It has since ranked second in the same list from 2021 to 2023. [21] Jigger & Pony was named the Best International Hotel bar at Tales of the Cocktail in 2023. [22] Anthony Eu of The Infatuation wrote, "If you somehow can't find something you like on the menu, have one of their bartenders whip you up something, find a spot for prime people-watching, and revel in the fact that you got to drink at the best bar in Asia." [8] Time Out Singapore included the business in a 2024 list of the country's 50 best bars. [23] The Michelin Guide has described the bar as "one of the frontrunners in Singapore's drinks industry".
