About Jigger & Pony

Jigger & Pony is an award-winning cocktail bar in Singapore, founded in 2012 and located within Amara Singapore in Tanjong Pagar. The bar is rooted in classic cocktail craft, taking its name from the double-coned jigger measure used by bartenders, and built its identity around what it calls convivial hospitality — creating a warm, welcoming space for guests to find comfort, forge friendships and share happiness.

Since opening, Jigger & Pony has become one of the most recognised bars in the region, repeatedly ranking on The World's 50 Best Bars and Asia's 50 Best Bars lists, including being named No. 1 in Asia's 50 Best Bars in 2020. Alongside its cocktail programme, the bar offers a food menu of shareable small plates, a wine and beer list spanning sparkling, white and red wines, and its own bottled Pony cocktails available for takeaway.

The current cocktail menu, BLOOM, features 21 cocktails presented across four chapters — Hope, Growth, Beauty, and Just Be — framed as a reflection on resilience, creativity and appreciation for what already exists. The bar is open nightly from 6pm, with a daily happy hour, and entry is restricted to guests aged 18 and above.

Jigger & Pony: Inside One of Asia's Most Awarded Cocktail Bars

Tucked into Amara Singapore in Tanjong Pagar, **Jigger & Pony** has spent well over a decade building a reputation as one of the region's defining cocktail bars. Founded in 2012, the bar takes its name from the double-coned jigger measure that bartenders use to pour spirits with precision — a small nod to the craft-first foundation the bar was built on.

Cocktail Craft Meets Convivial Hospitality

Jigger & Pony describes its guiding philosophy as "convivial hospitality" — drawing on the Latin roots of the word convivial, _con vivere_, meaning "with life." In practice, that translates into a bar experience built around sociability as much as technique: a space, in the bar's own words, for guests to find comfort, forge friendships and share happiness, rather than a purely cocktail-focused destination.

That balance between craft and atmosphere has translated into sustained international recognition. Jigger & Pony has repeatedly placed on The World's 50 Best Bars list, reaching as high as No. 5 in 2024, and has ranked among Asia's 50 Best Bars every year from 2016 onward, including topping the list as No. 1 Asia's 50 Best Bars in 2020. The bar has also picked up multiple Spirited Awards recognitions for its cocktail menu and bar team, and was named Bar of the Year at The Bar Awards Singapore in 2019.

BLOOM: The Current Cocktail Menu

Jigger & Pony's cocktail programme is built around seasonal, concept-driven menus, and the current one, BLOOM, is framed as a meditation on growth and becoming. It spans 21 cocktails organised into four chapters — Hope, Growth, Beauty, and Just Be — each designed, in the bar's description, to unfold slowly rather than be consumed as a single note. The bar frames the menu as both a drinks list and a story, continuing a tradition of thematic menus that has become part of its identity.

Food, Wine and Beer to Match

Alongside cocktails, Jigger & Pony runs a food menu of shareable plates designed to complement drinking rather than serve as a full dinner. Highlights include a Black Pepper Crab Dip with Toast made with blue crab and mascarpone, a Bikini Sandwich layering burrata, serrano ham and black truffle, and Wagyu Beef Skewers finished with red miso, ponzu and chilli crisps. Vegetarian options run through the menu too, including a Masala Cheese Toastie, Spiced Hummus, a Jackfruit Mini Pizza, and a Chilli Mac & Cheese.

The drinks list extends beyond cocktails into a considered wine and beer selection, spanning Champagne and sparkling wines, whites and reds from regions including Burgundy, Bordeaux, the Rhône, Piedmont, Tuscany, Rioja and Marlborough, plus a small beer list that includes local names Brewlander alongside Pilsner Urquell and a non-alcoholic option.

Jigger & Pony is open nightly from 6pm — until midnight on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays, and until 2am from Wednesday through Saturday — with a daily happy hour running from 6pm to 7:30pm. The bar also produces its own bottled Pony cocktails, available for takeaway, for anyone wanting to bring a taste of the bar's cocktail programme home. As with most bars in Singapore, entry is strictly limited to guests aged 18 and above.
