Start your nighttime indulgence with tantalising tipples and arcade fun at the stylish entrance of AVENUE Lounge. Then let the thumping beats lead you to an intimate 372-square-metre bolthole that promises all the glamour you’d expect from a swanky New York cocktail bar.
It’s one of the most sought late-night hideouts in New York and Los Angeles for A-listers such as Kim Kardashian, Jay-Z, Lebron James and Rihanna. Here in Singapore, it offers a tailored experience for night owls and music lovers seeking an alternative night out.
The lavishly decked out cocktail lounge pays aesthetic homage to grand New York penthouses with its plush custom banquettes and stunning glass pendant lights. It also boasts interactive play areas such as a mini-bowling alley, karaoke room, vintage arcade games like a pinball machine and skee ball machine, and a pool table.
If you need some Dutch courage to ask out the hottie by the bar, pick your poison from original inventions and renditions of modern classics that take inspiration from AVENUE’s American roots and latest Asian home. Indulge in Sunny Island ($22), a tropical blend of BarSol Pisco, St. Germain elderflower, lemon, egg white and Angostura bitters, or the Smokescreen ($22) for whisky and rum lovers. For some bar bites, delight in the truffle waffle fries, tuna tartare tacos and Wagyu sliders.
Keep the party rolling into the night with bottle packages available for every occasion – birthdays, bachelorette or bachelor nights, or even a break-up toast, you name it. The feeling’s right on Ladies Night where women enjoy a complimentary glass of prosecco and $11 cocktails and house pours on Wednesdays. Squeeze in a Happy Hour or two on Thursdays where you can treat yourself to 1-for-1 house pours, beers and cocktails from 9pm to 11pm.
The entire experience is soundtracked by resident DJs and guest artistes from around the globe. Expect everything from R&B and hip-hop to open-format mash-ups and more spilling from its top of the line Funktion One DJ consoles and sound systems.
