White Shades is the brainchild of JiaWei Bai, co-founder of the renowned Stay Gold Flamingo. Occupying a four-story shophouse along Boon Tat Street, White Shades presents a first-of-its-kind cocktail experience in Singapore. The progressive cocktail playground broadens the horizons for imbibers, encouraging tipplers to explore spirits in different forms, from boozy gelatos to bespoke craft concoctions and draft cocktails and beer.
Inspired to marry different concepts under a single for ultimate convenience, Bai has thoughtfully engineered the space to offer a multi-sensory experience. At White Shades, diners are invited to embrace the extraordinary, the imaginative, and the unforgettable. This remarkable dining destination promises to be a platform for new experiences, where colours, flavours and music unite. The first floor welcomes you to Dessert, the ice cream parlour, where joy and playfulness set the vibe.
Vibrant furniture and hanging art installations add pops of colour against the backdrop of white walls; a playlist of famous hits will have you singing along. On the menu are 12 types of ice creams, made up of four tantalisingly alcoholic flavours, four classics, two sorbets, and the rest are seasonal and experimental. Housemade juniper-flavoured cones complement the ice cream, as do the cold-brewed tea and coffee and low-ABV tea cocktails served, giving guests a lighter experience of the innovative cocktail programme that is the DNA of White Shades.
Venturing to the second level, Cocktail, guests will find themselves in a sophisticated bar enveloped in dark gradient tones and man-made stone. The ambience switches to a more elegant and luxurious mood, with soulful R&B tunes giving mellow acoustics from the cushioned walls. Hospitality is taken to the highest level on this level, where exceptional service is paramount. Guests are invited to connect here, with cosy indoor seats for intimate conversations; outdoor tables for the revellers; and waist-high ledges for those preferring to mingle while standing close to the bar.
