Cool Cats

Cool Cats is a swanky jazz lounge located right across Raffles Hotel. The unmarked entrance gives the bar an air of secrecy, but once inside, you could tell that Cool Cats is not another of those secret bars that have been sprouting around Singapore.

Highlights:

Live jazz by local and international artists: Local musicians regularly play jazz and R&B at Cool Cats. On occasion, international jazz artists are invited to perform. The Cool Cats stage has been graced by the likes of Adam Hall & The Velvet Playboys from Perth, R&B sweetheart Janine Anice from London, The New Orleans Singapore Revue, and the Graeme Bell Hall of Famer, James Morrison.
Unique cocktails inspired by jazz music history: Cool Cats offers 14 signature cocktails that are carefully curated by its head mixologist, Nicola Paterno. Cocktails with names like Lady Ella, Holiday’s Protest, Ways of a Diva, La Vie En Rose, and East St. Louis Toodle-Do are enough to pique the interest of every jazz aficionado.

AMBIENCE: The interior of Cool Cats is reminiscent of New York jazz bars with its minimalist décor and plush seating. The small and cozy venue gives patrons a sense of a more personal experience with the performers.

DRINKS: The signature cocktails are the main bar menu attraction. Other alcoholic drinks include wine, gin, vodka, rum, tequila, whisky, cognac, brandy, beer, and international spirits. Crafted mocktails are also available.

FOOD: The food menu is quite limited. Hot bar snacks include Crispy Duck Roll, Deep Fried Mooli Puff, and Wasabi Prawn. Cold selections like caviar, Iberico Ballota, and Kinglas Fillet are also available.

LOCATION: Cool Cats is located at the 3-storey entertainment venue, The NCO Club. It is right across Raffles Hotel along Beach Avenue at Singapore’s art and culture district.

SERVICE: Cool Cats has been getting raves for its very attentive and friendly staff.
