  Nice place to chill

  Quiet and comfortable venue to chill, great selection of drinks. Lots more wines than I expected including some cool stuff I haven't seen elsewhere. Didn't expect to find armagnacs also, but there's a neat selection.
  
  Especially liked the Italian gin and the house Negroni. Simple but good bar food.

  Favourite Bar!

  The ExciseMan is my favourite place to unwind and enjoy a dram or two (or three) of whisky.
  
  For whisky lovers (like my husband), you’d be blown away by their menu, trust me. If you’re not sure what to have, just ask and explore! Lewis and Patricia are the heart and soul of ExciseMan. They are very passionate and extremely knowledgeable about their craft.

  Best Bar Experience, with an extensive whiskeys and wines selection.

  I had the best Bar experience, Lewis was very welcoming and introduced me to different whiskeys.
  
  Since I haven't drunk any alcohols in awhile, he asked about my preferences and crafted a whiskey cocktail - it was soo good.
  
  He introduced whiskeys - malt whiskey, grain whiskey and a mix of both. Its was cool to experience a whiskey that smell like vanilla and mashmellows. He also introduced whiskeys that are younger but taste really good. The trick is to visit on Monday and Tuesday to get a more personalized experience.
  
  Not to mention the beautiful ambience - you can see mbs from the private room and comfortable atmosphere, even the bar bites were good 5 out 5. Great place to bring friends or date for a new drinking experience. I will definitely visit again :)

  Frequent patron

  Definitely Singapore’s best kept secret for Bars. Great warm ambience; old-world décor, mood lighting and genuine charm from welcoming staff. Love those leather sofas and Persian carpets, like being in a conservation home. It’s a Wine Bar with lots of Whiskies or a Whisky Bar with lots of wines? Anyway, the staff are professional with both. Suited mostly for a more mature or business crowd based on the classic music they play at a convivial volume. Definitely not a party or rowdy place, so not for everyone.

  The place to be for whisky and wine lovers, bar none!

  Lewis and Patricia are some of the kindest and most genuine people I've had the pleasure of knowing. While most bars try to sell a certain kind of image, The Exciseman truly provides an experiential journey – from the ambience right down to the menu. I am continuously impressed by the quality and selection of their whisky expressions, which arrive in both distillery and independent bottling forms. The knowledge and expertise of both owners are clearly evident; quickly revealed by means of friendly conversation.
  
  Despite its indicated specialities, The Exciseman also deals in other appellations such as rum and brandy (the former of which I have begun to explore, much to my delight). They have also recently introduced a flights menu – whimsically named 'Flights or Fights' – which I am sure will go over well with other whisky lovers. If you're ever in town or in search of a legit whisky lounge to call a second home, you owe it to yourself to head over to the Esplanade and pay The Exciseman a well-earned visit.

  It has always been a pleasure to have you over. Time and again we have said that it's our customers that gives our bar that friendly and warm atmosphere. Thank you for those kind words and support. Cheers
