A room lit
by the glass
A lamp-lit room behind an unmarked door on Telok Ayer Street, where every cocktail is built to order.
Reserve a table Welcome to Lamplight
Behind an unmarked door, a small room glows amber. We build every cocktail to order — from a local pantry of calamansi, pandan and gula melaka — for the kind of evening you do not want to end.

Not sure what you fancy?
Let the bar choose for you
Our Signature Cocktail Finder takes your spirit, your mood and how strong you want it, and matches you to a few drinks from the menu — so you arrive at the door knowing roughly where to start.
Built to order
Nothing is pre-batched without reason. Most drinks are stirred or shaken in front of you, the way they should be.
A local pantry
Calamansi, pandan, gula melaka, jasmine tea — we build our syrups and cordials from ingredients that belong to this city.
A room that lingers
Low light, soft brass, a single quiet playlist. We designed Lamplight to be the bar you stay in, not the one you pass through.

What our guests say
★★★★★
“I bring every out-of-town colleague here. The room is gorgeous, the drinks are precise, and nobody ever rushes you out.”
Adriel NgTanjong Pagar · The Lamplighter ★★★★★
“I usually find cocktail bars too loud or too sweet. Lamplight is neither — quiet, lamp-lit, and the floral drinks are genuinely delicate.”
Priya SuppiahTiong Bahru · Jasmine Collins The lamp is lit. Come find the door.
