I’m no stranger to Bar Stories. They’re a veteran of Singapore’s nightlife scene for as long as I can remember. For a long time, they’re known for their unique cocktail concept – they don’t have any menu, you simply tell your server what alcohol you’re in the mood for that night, what flavor profile you want, and they’ll serve something up for you.
