Upscale Bar? - Spokes - 01-29-2018

So my wife and I recently had drinks at W Bar at Wildcraft. We like it's slightly more upscale nature than other bar/pubs. She commented that while we like it, we've been there a lot and it sucks that there's not more places like it.

With two kids under two and a half, I feel like we've probably missed some spots opening. My faith in the Region says that there are more places like that. So I turn to all of you, any slightly more upscale spots for drink you'd recommend?

Depends how you define "upscale". Smile I do think TWH is quite civilized, as is Gilt.

Grand Trunk Saloon and White Rabbit are great cocktail bars. The former is a little bit more classier than the latter. They aren't metal and glass upscale in the way of TWH and Gilt (two places I'd have also recommended had they not already been) but they are priced in the same neighbourhood.

Something to look forward to opening very soon: https://loloanlobbybar.com/
Not sure how "upscale" it will be exactly but given the building it is going in, it is promising.

Loloan is the one by the Bhimas Warung (person? team?) right? I suspect that's quite likely to be upscale, and fantastic.

Just need the LRT to start running so that I don't have to drive back. Smile

Agreed. Just all depends on what people define as upscale. It will be high-quality no doubt.

Thanks for the suggestions, keep them coming!

Does the Delta have a bar/lounge? I have not been to the new hotel.

Yes, Proof at the Delta is a restaurant/bar/lounge which is indeed upscale.

Wilk's Bar at Langdon Hall is a very nice spot.

I'll second that.  Plus, the food is made in the same kitchen by the same chef that serves the main dining room but the costs are considerably less.  It's win-win.

And if you haven't been to Proof, I highly recommend it.
