Review Employees Only - Singapore

Love the atmosphere, good service and most of the drinks are good, but not amazing. Penicillin cocktail was a touch sweet to my liking. Smash burger excellent but fries were cold. Great music.

The place is a mainstay of the cocktail scene in Singapore. The place isn’t for nonsense sugary cocktails. This place cooks up the real deal with its stuff. I had Toronto which was delicious. Slightly expensive, which is the way it is I guess. Overall, great experience. I’ll go back when I’m richer haha.

I’ve lived in Singapore for 14 years and have never come across such a rude and aggressive security guard in my years living here. I honestly love employees only but will NOT be returning as my mate was manhandled / verbally harassed by the security. This is not the way to greet guests or treat any human, period. The drinks here are also subpar - watered down cocktails for $30 and servers that don’t clear your tables… If you’re looking for a good night out with mates, I suggest you skip this establishment and it’s bad vibes.

Even if the food is correct, food and cocktails are expensive. Very noisy, Aging decoration, It wasn't a very good atmosphere. One very good thing, service and barman.

Love the interior and atmosphere of this bar. Friendly service. However, drinks weren’t that great. Wouldn’t return just based on the drinks.

Heard a lot about this bar so decided to check out their Happy Hour on a Thursday evening. Nice decor. Ordered the Jungle Bird cocktail ($18) which was refreshing. The Maguro kueh pie tee was delicious but also very expensive ($17 for 4 pcs). Service could have been better - all the service staff were gathered in a corner and chatting amongst themselves. Had to wait my turn at the bar (for at least a good 10 mins) to get attention from the bartender as she was also preoccupied speaking to regulars, even though the place wasn’t crowded. Staff should have taken more initiative.

Burger was tasty, it went very well with the eggs. Overall I thought the food was quite pricey given the fact it was pretty simple but at least the portion was generous!

My go to bar here in Singapore. Love the vibes. Food here is one of the best food I tried and cocktails are always on point. Even though they are busy they always make sure that they are taking good care of you. Highly recommended! 😍😍😍

I went to a bar to had some good drinks! But beside drinks - they smacked me with food! Starting from fish Red Snapper Crudo, Bacon-Wrapped Lamb Chops with Salsa Verde, Hand-Cut Steak Tartar with Crostini & Mixed Greens Salad ( that one was best thing I had ever) and then we had Bone-in Prime Ribeye with Potato Gratin, Jalapeño, Dijon Mustard & Sea Saltand and for dessert Poached Apple ”Tufahija” with Candied Walnuts & Clove Scented and Yogurt and a Butterscotch & Mascarpone Cheesecake. The experience of tastes was amazing. We tried also signature drink Manhattan cocktail and many Negronies and it was just amazing. The drinks and food were beyond expected and the service was top! You feel like all bartenders know your name and they just enjoy the job they do- and they are super cute too! This place is a true experience about what a restaurant and bar should be, you just don't want to go home.... to all the lovers of good drinks and food of a high quality, relaxed atmosphere and great service I highly recommend!

As great as EO NY, but with its own quirky Singapore character. Arrived at 8 for dinner, everyone from the door to our table were all smiles and so accommodating, and remained so throughout the night even as the place got packed and things started to get hectic crazy fun. Even got an apology (and unexpectedly comped) when one of my drinks didn't arrive. Absolutely didn't see any "attitude" from ANY of the staff (was mentioned in another review). Here's a tip though, when you go to a bar treat the people working there as people, not your servants. Maybe then you'd get a smile and even a story or two. And when a place is packed, don't expect speed-as-light service, they put craft in making your drinks and food so do thr math on how much time that takes; plus, a little wait won't kill you! Food was A+++ and better leave room for their divine butterscotch cheesecake. Request for how you like your lambchops though else they will serve it rare, which was my mistake but it was delicious nonetheless. Drinks were outstanding, and literally just like in NY. They were a little pricier than the usual here in SG but boy each one was strong. No weak fruity punch served here. I used to work for a liquor company so I know my drinks and you are definitely getting your money's worth. If I were to nitpick though, I wish Igor put up more than just a single tiny common washroom in the place. Such a busy bar needs more for sure. As the night wore on, the line for the loo resembled the line to get in to EO NY!!! Fun place with fun people (all illegitimate though I hear), will definitely be back, already made reservations for next week as a matter of fact.

It's always the people behind which makes a place. Not only behind the bar, but at the door, on the floor, behind in the hot kitchen. A place I always leave as a happier me.

Friendly staff, exceeding expectations, food & drinks are exceptional. I highly recommend Employees Only!

Was here last night with 2 other ladies and had such a great time, we left the place gushing about how everything was so perfect - from the bone marrow poppers to BOTH the pastas and to the 9 different drinks we tried (all delicious, but the gimlet has my heart). Just close your eyes and point to something on the menu and I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it. I rarely write reviews (cos I'm lazy af) but I just don't understand the bad reviews I see on this page??!! The service was impeccable. Everyone was friendly and on point, our water glasses were perpetually refilled, the one toilet was always clean, our food and drinks came spiffily, and the guy who brought us our bill even offered to take a photo for us. Thank you all for an amazing Friday night! Stay smashin' EO. We'll be back :)

Music was da bomb! Coctails top-notch! Wanted a martini but bartender said to try something super yummy and berry! Divine! Gets a bit packed but it's a smallish bar. Get there early!
Robert Franklin Krueger
I work here. It's really great. I always have fun, and almost everyone else does too. We work hard to give our guests our best. Try the Steak Tartar.
Debra McWhirter
Have wanted to go to this wine bar for awhile - was not disappointed - great service - cocktails and loved the art deco vibe and music to match ! Great date night looking forward to returning soon x
Kristen Lee
Hands down best food in Singapore, interesting concept and amazing staff!
Steven Phillips
Incredible Speak Easy atmosphere with a great team led by Igor. Superb Steak Tartare, cocktails and music. Bar guys from NY with fantastic atmosphere. If you can get in, it is well worth the experience.
Debra Tran
Was apalled by the discourteous and ill-mannered Waitress/Maitre D' in the dining section. There was a confusion over whether my order was cancelled and when this was being clarified, the waitress was unnecessarily rude and aggressive. An unfortunate occurence given extensive & creative cocktail list and good ambiance (though more for drinks than dinner as the music gets quite loud) - Igor the owner was also kind enough to apologize.
Erin Lillis
Exceptional place! Every time I visit the food, drinks, music and team are nothing short of fantastic!
KiaLin Goh
Not enough variety finger food .... but love the beef tartare & atmosphere
Heidi Ngaemma
The vibe, the food, the drinks, the style, I could go on and on about how amazing this place is. Feels like the essence of New York, definitely a huge hit already!
Johan Joey Potgieter
I enjoyed the vibe and everyone seemed so happy which made me happy lol the drinks were spot on

Interesting venue with a good range of cocktails. However, a bit annoyed that apparently if you don't have the exact change they round your bill up to the nearest dollar, if that's your venue's policy you should really inform people before they enter.

Unforgettable bar..fantastic drinks with great staff. Awesome!! High recommended!! Thank you guys for your warm hospitality..loved it!
