Goodbye, Alibi, which soft-launched in June 2025, finally debuts its official new menu featuring 14 signature cocktails with bold, unorthodox flavour combinations. Goodbye, Alibi was conceptualised with the enthusiastic drinker in mind — the one who looks for their third place where they can comfortably sip in silence or get rowdy with friends; and where they can sip their forever favourites or find the most daring drinks to excite their jaded palates. A brave concept built on a theme of secrecy, mystery, and curiosity, the bar aims to be a safe space for all communities to meet and gather, and focuses on unconventional community-building initiatives. Guests can also pen anonymous confessions and read the secrets left behind by others — an interactive and memorable experience.
The new menu? The perfect hat-tip to our drinkers. Though savoury sips remain a niche pleasure in general, Goodbye, Alibi goes all in with five different creations named cheekily after dating life :
Summer Fling in Bangkok ($25) : a refreshing highball style cocktail made with tequila, kaffir lime leaf, ginger, lemongrass, shallots, tomato, grapefruit, soda, lime, prawn
My Crazy Ex ($25) : Whisky, vinegar, soy caramel, ma la spices, citrus, soy crisp/vegetarian mock goose (not for the faint of heart)
Miso Broken ($25) : Vodka, pickled radish, wasabi, miso, citrus, roasted seaweed
Hang Flower, Hang-Over ($25) : Tequila, pickled chilli, fish sauce, citrus, mango foam, black sesame
Kill Me Softly ($27) : a spirit-forward martini style cocktail with gin, dry vermouth, katsuobushi, kombu, garlic brine, a quail egg
If savoury cocktails aren’t quite your thing, go for the
Coffee Meets Banana ($26) : banana rum, cold brew coffee, salted cream cheese
Rum-our Has It ($26) : Jamaican dark rum, Okinawan white rum, Campari, pineapple, rambutan, lime
Truth or Dare ($27) : a brave take on the Old Fashioned jazzed up with sour plum, orange and vermouth
The brains behind the new menu is 31-year-old Tan Chok Han, who was the head bartender of award-winning The Elephant Room for 4 years. Han came onboard Goodbye, Alibi in July and has worked tirelessly on the new cocktail menu for 2 months, bringing the vision that he shares with 35-year-old owner, Kimberley Yeo, to life. Huge fans of savoury cocktails, they decided to incorporate at least 5 savoury concoctions into the new menu. Savoury cocktails are a huge risk, given that most palates would not be attuned to it, but the duo feels that their creations would make the cut.
The Space
Tucked away on the second floor of a heritage shophouse at 53A Duxton Road, Goodbye, Alibi is a 55-seater space that exudes both mystery and charm. From the street, its entrance is easy to miss—but those who step inside will discover a striking interior dressed in deep green hues, marble surfaces, and elegant gold accents, and one of the longest bar tops in Singapore. The pièce de résistance? A breathtaking two-story wall lined with an impressive collection of spirits, perfect for Instagram-worthy moments.
The venue also features a cozy mezzanine that accommodates up to 20 guests, making it an intimate yet versatile space for wedding after-parties, corporate gatherings, and cocktail-making workshops.
Classics Starting from $22
For fans of spirit-forward classics, the Solera Clay-Aged Negroni ($22) will be a standout. The team believes that classic cocktails, though packed with a higher alcohol content, shouldn’t warrant a higher price tag than their signature cocktails. Popular classics such as Old Fashioned are hence priced at $22.
Bespoke Cocktails
On top of their signature cocktails, and classics, the experienced team is capable of crafting bespoke cocktails. If none of the regular menu options catches your eye, simply share your preferred flavor profile with the experienced bartenders, and they will create something just for you. The possibilities are endless.
Tasty Bar Bites & Asian Inspired Flavours
While the drinks steal the spotlight, the food menu is not to be overlooked. Despite operating under stringent SFA regulations—which prohibit the use of an exhaust or even basic cooking techniques such as stir-frying of garlic and onion—Goodbye, Alibi has crafted an impressive selection of dishes that have quickly won over guests. You won’t go wrong with the appetite-whetting Salmon Sashimi Shoyuzuke ($22) which features fresh Norwegian salmon that has sat in a house-made marinade for more than 24 hours, and the amazingly addictive Crispy Garlic Pork ($16) which has a crunchy crust and a gentle but rich overtone of aromatic garlic. Even vampires might find it addictive, especially when paired with the accompanying spicy sauce!
Unconventional Programming
Goodbye, Alibi champions the community through programs that include workshops and guided sessions designed to spark meaningful conversations on taboo topics.
Tuesday: Truth-Be-Told Tuesday (activities built on the theme of Truth, such as tarot reading, or sharing sessions on numerology)
Wednesday: Ladies Night ($8 wine, $8 prosecco for all who identify as female)
Thursday: Taboo Thursday (activities centred on taboo topics, such as How to Give Better Blow Jobs, rope play, and mental health)
