Singapore’s bar scene boasts several note-worthy names that inspire awe and grandeur, like the iconic Atlas bar; and a new visually captivating bar is opening its doors in the heart of Orchard. Hailing from Hong Kong is the famed Dragonfly, a one-of-a-kind cocktail bar with a unique bohemian vibe and stunning decor.

The opulent bar truly is gorgeous, and looks almost like an art display in itself. The space gives off a mystical and ethereal vibe, thanks to the moody mosaic stained glass lamps illuminating the bar in brilliant hues of green, blue and turquoise. The allure of the bar is undoubtedly the art deco-style bar counter that features a massive stained glass mural shaped like a dragonfly’s wings—a nod to the bar’s name, no doubt. This dragonfly-themed bar counter definitely makes for a beautiful backdrop for your photos.

The interior of the bar feels like an otherworldly escape, kind of like entering an enchanting magical realm of sorts. The rest of the bar’s furnishings are also equally Instagrammable, with chic mosaic lamps lining the ceiling, psychedelic swirling motifs and tiled flooring and tabletops.

Dragonfly’s cocktail series is aptly named “Cause & Effect”, and spotlights classic tipples with a modern flair. Drinks start from $25 each, and some highlights to look out for include Dewdrop ($25), Scarlet Skimmer ($25), High Mountain ($25), Hazy Guava ($25), Mangifera Punch ($25), Butter Cup ($25) and more. Presentations for their cocktails are pretty minimalist, but for something a little more unique, you can try their “High Tea” series of cocktails that are made for sharing and served in an actual teapot with teacups. For the full cocktail menu, see here.
