Rails, a steampunk-inspired bar and lounge by lifestyle brand A Phat Cat Collective has just opened its doors.
The thematic getaway draws on Tanjong Pagar Railway Station and Jinrikisha Station, and is envisioned as a train platform with a steampunk twist.
The decor includes a LED-lit installation of a steampunk clock tower, studded with gears and cogwheels that trail up to the ceiling that form the DJ console, a glass-paneled bar counter with exposed brass pipelines, and an entrance fashioned like a vintage elevator shuttered with steel scissor gates.
Sip on inventive cocktails – choose from fizzy refreshers, milk-based tipples, or bold, stiffer options. There’s even a Murder On The Orient Express cocktail ($25), inspired by the famous novel of the same name, which is a dark concoction of an acquired, licorice lace of absinthe, coffee liqueur, pear, pineapple, and orange juice shaken with activated charcoal.
If you’re feeling peckish, the bar serves up bites from Chix Hot Chicken, known for its Nashville fried chicken. Tame your bellies with fried chicken sandwiches, sliders, or a hearty breakfast wrap.
Rails is at 21 Tanjong Pagar Road, #01-02, Singapore 088444.
