With many Singapore bars shutting at midnight, a 2am closure is sure to draw interest. But Jungle Ballroom is more than just Duxton Hill’s only late-night haunt. For starters, it’s hidden within the buzzy Mondrian Singapore Duxton. An unmarked door off Bottega di Carna or a street-level staircase and tunnel of foliage take you inside this plush space that feels like a cross between ’70s tiki and Southeast Asian glamour. Charismatic head bartender Adrian Besa’s menu is inspired by the levels of a tropical jungle: earthy, herbal drinks go under Forest Floor, while spicy, fizzy cocktails feature under Understorey – and so on. Expect appearances from Asian craft spirits, homemade shrubs and tropical fruit.
