Where old meets new in elegance and warmth, Manhattan Bar <\/span>not only<\/span> keeps the charm of old<\/a> New York alive<\/span>, but<\/span> it even<\/span> infuses a sense of glamour and grit with its new bar<\/a> concept.<\/span> Walk in to Manhattan Bar <\/span>and<\/span> you\u2019ll<\/span> find that nothing has changed in this softly lit space. The glowing marble bar still presides over the cosy nooks and leather seats<\/a>, and the immaculately dressed staff still serve their best smile and service. <\/span>What\u2019s<\/span> different is the slight flurry of activity at a corner where a private space once sits. Shrouded by heavy curtains, it leaves much to the imagination what secret it conceals. Traverse beyond, if you dare, and <\/span>you’ll<\/span> enter the alter-ego of Manhattan Bar – East47<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Space and Inspiration<\/h3>\n

\"east47<\/p>\n

Step through the curtains <\/span>and<\/span> you\u2019ll<\/span> arrive at the glitzy new world of East47, where soft lights and leather seats <\/span>are traded<\/span> for reflective steel accents, a black mirrored ceiling, and Barovier & Toso Opera Venetian crystal lights <\/span>which<\/span> instantly brighten the space.<\/span> And the first person to greet you will be Marilyn Monroe, immortalised in a silkscreen painting by Andy Warhol. The<\/span> \u201c<\/span>Gold Marilyn Monroe<\/span>\u201d <\/span>(genuine, by the way), alongside other artworks by Andy Warhol and Alana Dee <\/span>Haynes<\/span> adorn the silver foil-like walls, with blue Breuer chairs and a blue with silver carpet grounding the space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While some may relate East47 to a speakeasy, it is more of a bar-in-a-bar concept, or for us, an alter-ego, Mr Hyde to Manhattan <\/span>Bar\u2019s<\/span> Dr. Jekyll. <\/span>This intimate 12-seater space draws inspiration from Andy <\/span>Warhol\u2019s<\/span> Silver Factory<\/span>, situated<\/span> on East 47th Street in Manhattan.<\/span> More than the parties and gatherings it was known for, the Silver Factory became the epicentre of art and counterculture, where unbridled creativity thrived. <\/span>Especially so for Andy Warhol, who involved many of his guests in <\/span>the<\/span> making <\/span>of<\/span> his legendary silkscreen prints and lithographs – from getting their opinions to having them churn the artworks out like an assembly line.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just like<\/span> the Silver Factory, the cosy space at East47 draws you in, inviting conversations and interactions over cocktails and <\/span>bites,<\/span> as time slips <\/span>away<\/span> unnoticed.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cocktail and Culinary Craft<\/h3>\n

Instead of artworks, East47 channels that same creative fervour into crafting their cocktail and culinary program. Much like an innovation hub, expect playful mixes and artful twists to their evolving menu that will feature new cocktails now and then. (Keep up with them on socials to find out!). From the brilliant minds and hands of Head Bartender Antonino Donato, Assistant Bar Manager Riccardo Lugano, and Chef de Cuisine Carolyn Or, East47 debuts with a curated selection of seven cocktails and dishes in <\/span>Volume 1: High Low<\/span><\/strong>. Each cocktail <\/span>is paired<\/span> with a dish <\/span>and<\/span> you can choose to have<\/span> Degustation Pairing of Three<\/span><\/strong> at S$148++, or enjoy each on its own.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"pairing
Cosmo Marilyn and Chawanmushi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The menu is designed around <\/span>Warhol\u2019s<\/span> artistic style and influences <\/span>combining<\/span> high art and pop culture. It even draws inspiration from iconic figures like Marilyn Monroe in <\/span>Cosmo Marilyn<\/span><\/strong> (S$28++). The refreshing cocktail mixes vodka and tequila with milky oolong tea, accented with gooseberry, passion fruit, and pecan nuts. It makes a good starting pair with <\/span>Chawanmushi <\/span><\/strong>(S$28++) made of tea egg custard and crowned with fresh Hokkaido uni. Matching the colours of the seats and carpet, the <\/span>Melon 54<\/span><\/strong> (S$28++) turns blue with Spirulina, imparting a slight herbaceous flavour to the bubbly dual rum-based drink. This pairs with the stingray <\/span>Taco <\/span><\/strong>(S$18++) topped with zesty scallion sour cream and wrapped with compressed purple cabbage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"cocktail
Miss Brown x Duck<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Have some fun with the <\/span>Space Daiquiri <\/span><\/strong>(S$28++) – Clairin Le Rocher rum, engenho aged cacha\u00e7a, and dragon fruit hot sauce – that comes with cotton candy floss! An aromatic and delicious boost comes with <\/span>Miss Brown<\/span><\/strong> (S$28++), which includes Matusalem rum, floral coffee, and a spritz of lavender perfume. Have it on its own or pair it with <\/span>Duck <\/span><\/strong>(S$20++<\/span>) <\/span>that’s<\/span> foie gras torchon in a brioche bun. <\/span>Drink your dessert with <\/span>Pie <\/span><\/strong>(S$32++), a milkshake-looking drink with Ardbeg 10 whisky, rum, <\/span>and pineapple juice, complete with<\/span> cream and gorgonzola cheese.<\/span> This<\/span> is paired<\/span> with <\/span>Silver <\/span><\/strong>(S$18++), an apple compote cheesecake, perfect for sweet endings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

East47<\/span><\/i><\/a> is located within Manhattan Bar at Level 2, Conrad Singapore Orchard, 1 Cuscaden Road, Singapore 249715, p.+65 +65 9856 6243.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
