About Mr. Goodbar

Perched above the archway into Ebenezer Place, Mr. Goodbar pours serious craft cocktails over low-lit laneway views. Patrons head upstairs for inventive house builds like the Lychee Euphoria—a crisp pour of lychee soju cut with tart lychee sorbet—alongside dirty martinis dialed precisely to taste. Weeknights lean relaxed with low lighting and mellow tunes, while weekends bring DJs and crowded booths. Order right at the counter or scan the table QR code to keep the drinks coming without interrupting the conversation. Just plan ahead for dinner elsewhere; the focus stays strictly on the liquid menu, with no kitchen nibbles on hand.

  • Craft Cocktails: Inventive house pours like the Lychee Euphoria alongside custom-tailored martinis and classics.
  • Laneway Loft Setting: Overlooks Ebenezer Place with booth seating, low lighting, and weekend DJ sets.
  • Table QR Ordering: Skip the counter queue by ordering rounds straight to the booth via table QR code.
  • Drinks-Only Focus: A pure cocktail lounge experience with no food menu or light nibbles on site.
