DNA Oyster Bar & Lounge

Best kept secret in Singapore. Very difficult to find but when you do the food and cocktails are amazing especially the steaks such a good chef one of the best meals I've had!!!

Place was very small and cozy and hard to find as it is at the top of 2 flights of shophouse stairs through a very nondescript doorway next to some other restaurant. At the top of the stairs you will be met with an unmarked door that slides to open into the place. And it’s a lounge, not a restaurant or bar like those along the street below. I went there for their Gin Buffer. For $55 you can have unlimited pours for 2 hours from a menu of around 70 different craft gins from all over the world. 2 hours was enough as I could hardly walk straight by then :). I managed to down 16 different gins. Each glass was half a standard shot served on the rocks or with tonic or soda water, depending on preference. The staff was kind enough to offer tonic and soda water on the side. To fill the stomach, I ordered the steak platter and a side of mushrooms with garlic. They were both excellent but a bit pricey for 500 grams of meat. Overall I was very pleased that the Gin Buffet met my expectations and value for money as I was able to try many different gins. Much thanks to owners Phil and Cedric for their helpful recommendations. I was surprised to find quite a few that I liked. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking to try gin, or just for a fun night out with friends.
