Operation Dagger

Recently ranking at number 21 in The World’s 50 Best Bars 2016; Singapore’s Operation Dagger is a blitz against the grain of the speakeasy bars of today, providing a different approach to traditional cocktail bars.

Inside this hidden bar, a plethora of light bulbs hang from the ceiling in a cloud formation, in addition to fluorescent lights and a back bar that looks like a very cool apothecary, containing non-branded bottles with hand-written labels and symbols sitting on the shelves.

Executive Bartender and Aussie ex-pat Luke Whearty heads up Operation Dagger - a specialty cocktail bar that serves up progressive cocktails and food offerings. There is a hands-on approach here, fermenting and distilling a lot of the products in-house.

In case you’re wondering about the name, Operation Dagger is a reference to when the Singapore Police force unleashed Operation Dagger in 1956 in an effort to eradicate the secret gang societies of Singapore’s notorious Chinatown district. Once a hub for criminal activity, Ann Siang Hill became a safe haven where underground societies became dormant.

Every cocktail here has an innovative touch from the talented bartenders, which connoisseurs and newcomers alike can appreciate. The short food menu here also steps outside the box, providing innovative twists on classic items.

For a unique and amazing experience, check- out Operation Dagger.
