Since opening its doors in 2023, The Golden Tooth has grown into far more than just a bar—it’s become a cultural hub where stories, personalities, and late-night memories converge. This year, the venue earned a spot on the Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2025 extended list (#98), but as the team insists, it’s never been about the accolades—it’s always been about the people.
The Golden Tooth Unveils For the People, By the People Cocktail Series
That ethos takes center stage this season with the launch of their newest cocktail menu: For The People, By The People, a zine-style collection that celebrates the community who helped shape the bar’s identity—friends, regulars, creatives, industry peers, and every guest who’s ever walked through their doors.
At the heart of the menu is The Golden Dozen—12 signature cocktails, each one crafted in collaboration with or inspired by the individuals who embody The Golden Tooth’s spirit. From the bold and unapologetic 50$ Drink to the cozy nostalgia of Yalla By The Fire, the refined elegance of Patagonia to the chaotic harmony of The 5th Element, these creations go beyond flavor—they’re stories in a glass.
Highlights include Soy Story, a sweet nod to childhood comfort built on 1800 Añejo tequila, Electric Souls, a playful blend of honeydew and jalapeño, and Rhubarb Gimlet, a sharp, seasonal showcase with Tanqueray London Dry Gin, and Butta Gangsta, a rich, layered mix of Bulleit Rye whiskey, toasted brioche, and beurre noisette inspired by the comfort of peanut butter toast. Each cocktail is a portrait of its muse—vivid, layered, and brimming with personality.
Alongside these new creations, The Golden Tooth is also bringing back guest favorites. Under All Time Favs, you’ll find eight original cocktails by bar star Kenny Soetomo, known for his signature style that’s both smashable and sophisticated. And for the purists, The Classics section pays tribute to eight timeless recipes that have stood the test of time—cocktail history crafted by the pioneers of the craft.
Through it all, the message remains clear: The Golden Tooth has never been about the bartender alone—it’s about the shared energy, the good vibes, and the community that fills the space night after night. Whether you’re a first-timer or a familiar face, the bar’s spirit endures: then, now, and always.
