As Singapore emerges as a global hub for artisanal bar culture, the recently revamped MO Bar shines as a unique gem, weaving together heritage and future narratives through the country's architectural backdrop. Nestled within Mandarin Oriental hotel, the acclaimed MO Bar pays homage to Singapore's iconic structures with four innovative cocktail chapters collectively named the Blue Print.

Having reopened last month following extensive renovations, MO Bar, led by mixologist Charlie Kim, has undergone a complete metamorphosis. Besides the sleek new interior, the transformation also redefines the cocktail concept. With this fresh start, the MO Bar team builds on the bar's legacy while carving their own path in Singapore's buzzing mixology scene.

The revamped space features a cool palette of navy blue with gold accents, complemented by elegant umber-coloured furnishings and décor. By day, sunlight streams through its windows, illuminating MO Bar's prime position overlooking Singapore River and Esplanade. As dusk settles, guests can enjoy the view of the glittering nightscape while exploring four distinct cocktail flights.
