Held at the Empress Lawn, the Singapore Cocktail Fest’s Festival Village will be ongoing from 10 to 12 May 2019. It is coupled with a long list of activities on top of showcasing award-winning bars, an artisanal spirits tasting room and well-loved food street.

The showcase will include bars from Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2018, as well as other local favourites and leading brands.
