White Shades, a renowned gem in Singapore’s cocktail scene, has redefined its Level 1 space to introduce Highball Haven, an urban retreat for cocktail aficionados. Located on Boon Tat Street in the heart of the Central Business District, White Shades invites guests on a sensory journey through its revamped floors, each offering a unique bar experience.
Step Into Highball Heaven
Gone are the pastel tones of the previous confectionery parlour. The new Level 1 entrance, adorned with bright neon signs and a roving disco ball, welcomes visitors into a Japanese-inspired speakeasy. The ambiance is electrifying, with hip Japanese beats setting the mood. This transformation aligns with White Shades’ ethos of versatility and innovation in mixology.
White Shades offers an exquisite selection of highball cocktails. The Japanese Kaku Highballs, available in five distinct styles—Classic, Yuzu, Umeshu, Genmaicha, and Shiso—offer a delicate balance of flavors, ideal for any occasion. Signature Highballs crafted by the White Shades team promise a symphony of flavors, from the tangy PawPaw Plum to the refreshing Spear The Melon. The bar’s Happiest Hour from 4 pm to 6 pm offers these delights at a discounted price.
A Feast for the Senses
Accompanying the highball haven is a revamped food menu, featuring izakaya-style bites designed to complement the cocktail journey. From the floral St Germain Highball to the aromatic Campari Highball, every drink on the menu is a perfect blend of spirit or liqueur with refreshing soda fizz.
For those seeking an adventurous night out, White Shades has introduced the “Hop through the Shades” bar-hopping experience. For just S$100 Nett, guests can enjoy a drink on each of the three levels—Level 1, Rooftop, and Level 2. The night concludes at White Shades’ exclusive, by-invite-only bar, where a bespoke cocktail awaits, crafted by founder Jiawei Bai.
Experience Innovation
Founded by Jiawei Bai, recently recognized in Prestige’s 2024 40 Under 40, White Shades continues to push the boundaries of cocktail culture in Singapore. With its new highball-focused space, it offers an elevated bar experience that promises to captivate both regular patrons and newcomers alike.
