#4 – Bar Stories
Introduction:
In 2009, A Thousand Tales, a cafe cum furniture store opened along a quiet, narrow street in the heart of town, along Haji Lane. The following year, they opened Bar Stories, borrowing the concept of customization and attention to the customer’s experience, and applied it to the craft of cocktail making.
In the ten years that Bar Stories has been in business, they have been admired and followed by many in the industry, and perhaps unknowingly, pioneered the craft cocktail scene in Singapore. Many of Bar Stories alumni have gone on to helm many other cocktail bars throughout the country, and some have even gone on to win accolades in the F&B industry.
Till today, Bar Stories continues to operate as a hole-in-the-wall, nestled in a vibrant and heritage-rich enclave, surrounded by modern skyscrapers and old-world charm of carpet sellers, quaint cafes, mosques, and other quirky shops.
Bar Stories has never, and perhaps will never, have a formal cocktail menu. Those familiar with them will always be charmed by our friendly, yet knowledgeable staff who will customize your drink order around your mood, taste, and palette.
Come on down and try the Bar Stories experience for yourself. They are looking forward to serving you soon.

And when you step into othe bar, you’ll notice little details, like our welcoming aprons, sewn with leftover saree cloths from Little India.

One drink and plate at a time, their ambition is sincere and simple: To take an often under-documented culture and spread it to the world in all of its richness, colour and delight.
