It\u2019s not often you\u2019ll find female bartenders in Singapore’s male-dominated industry. But nowadays, more female bartenders are rocking the night shift and helming the bars. That\u2019s why our eyes light up whenever we encounter one in a cocktail bar<\/a>, a secret speakeasy<\/a>, or the latest watering hole<\/a>. Our excitement and admiration grow, and we\u2019re curious how they got to where they are today. We speak to five female bartenders who open up about their unique experiences navigating this industry.<\/p>\n

5 female bartenders shaking up Singapore\u2019s cocktail scene<\/h2>\n

Yana Keller, head bartender at Atlas<\/h3>\n

Yana\u2019s foray into bartending was an unexpected turn from her initial role as a barista at Atlas<\/a>. After watching the talented bar team, she was inspired to switch her vocation. The head bartender says the transition felt natural, and being a woman in this industry has only added to the uniqueness of her journey.<\/p>\n

However, Yana has encountered her fair share of challenges. When she first started in the industry, she noticed there weren\u2019t many female bartenders who held the top spots. \u201cWe had to prove ourselves by breaking the typical stereotypes and showcasing that gender doesn’t define our capabilities,\u201d she emphasises. Today, the landscape has changed, with an increasing presence of women in the industry, including the diverse bar team within Atlas.<\/p>\n

Throughout her career, she found inspiration in mentors like Singapore Cocktail Bar Association\u2019s vice president Vivian Pei, whose commitment to nurturing female talent has been influential. “Her support has significantly impacted my growth in this field,” she acknowledges.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on standout moments, she recalls a journey filled with incredible experiences, one of which was leading the launch of Atlas\u2019 drinking menus. From contributing to individual drinks to spearheading entire menu concepts, the evolution was humbling and empowering for Yana.<\/p>\n

Yana\u2019s favourite cocktail:<\/strong> The classic Sloe Gin Fizz. Even though you can find it almost anywhere, the drink becomes special when each bar puts a twist on it. Yana equates it to a little adventure in discovering how bartenders interpret this cocktail.<\/p>\n

\u2060If she could create a cocktail inspired by Singapore, what would it be?<\/strong> A variation on another cocktail classic, Grasshopper. She\u2019d call it Garden City and use cognac, pandan, mint cacao, coconut cream, and freshly grated nutmeg for the finishing touch.<\/p>\n

Her recommended drinking spot in Singapore:<\/strong> The Writer\u2019s Bar<\/a>. \u201cImagine stepping into a sophisticated lounge that feels like a cosy library. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and savour a top-notch selection of spirits, wines, and cocktails. The ambience might inspire you to pen down your masterpiece,\u201d Yana enthuses.<\/p>\n

Ong Zi Ping, bartender at Gibson<\/h3>\n

Gibson<\/a>\u2019s Zi Ping decided to pursue bartending because she was fascinated with unexpected drink flavour combinations and the science behind concocting them. She credits her studies in materials science at Republic Polytechnic for her career and interest. As she progressed in her career, Zi Ping realised both the bartending industry and the STEM sector were still male-dominated. However, things are changing. \u201cI\u2019d say we\u2019re encouraged and offered opportunities to join them as much as men are,\u201d she opines.<\/p>\n

Still, she\u2019s faced her share of gender-specific obstacles, such as when guests indirectly hint that they\u2019d prefer to have their cocktails made by male bartenders. Zi Ping takes it in her stride and attempts to prove them wrong, because \u201cyour bartender\u2019s gender should never determine the quality of the drinks\u201d.<\/p>\n

She adds: \u201cWhile it\u2019s not possible to convert everyone to think this way, that’s okay because I still love what I do, and I have no regrets pursuing this career despite the challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zi Ping finds it rewarding when guests enjoy a drink she\u2019s made for them and return to seek her out for another cocktail. Another feather in her cap is when customers name-drop her and recommend Gibson to their friends. \u201cIt shows that I\u2019ve made a difference and motivates me to continue crafting exceptional drinks,\u201d she proudly shares.<\/p>\n

Zi Ping\u2019s favourite cocktail:<\/strong> Daisy, a sour-style classic cocktail you can find in most bars.<\/p>\n

\u2060If she could create a cocktail inspired by Singapore, what would it be?<\/strong> She\u2019d concoct a drink containing Nanyang coffee and butter, and name it Coffee From That Time. \u201cThe buttery notes help to mellow the coffee\u2019s harsher flavour,\u201d Zi Ping explains. The cocktail is inspired by her adoration for kopi gu you.<\/p>\n

Her recommended drinking spot in Singapore:<\/strong> Zi Ping\u2019s fond of Ziggy Zaggy<\/a>, a gastropub located at Kallang Riverside. It\u2019s cosy enough to hang out with friends, and she enjoys craft beer on tap and the spot-on curated drinks.<\/p>\n

Hazel Long, head bartender and owner of Junior the Pocket Bar<\/h3>\n
\"Hazel

\u201cI kind of stumbled into bartending. It wasn\u2019t in the \u201810-year plan\u2019 I had for myself,\u201d Junior the Pocket Bar<\/a>\u2019s head bartender and owner says. \u201cBut it\u2019s one of the great decisions I made in this lifetime.\u201d Hazel\u2019s career has been different from the get-go, which she attributes to the values that her parents, mentors, and people around her have imbued her with.<\/p>\n

When she first joined the scene, Hazel adopted a dismissive attitude towards misogynistic comments and perceived them as part of the norm. After working with supportive female peers and considerate male colleagues, the head bartender has shifted her focus to actively identifying instances of misogyny and advocating for a more inclusive and respectful workplace environment.<\/p>\n

She explains: \u201cChoosing silence over action doesn\u2019t grant me any favours and allows this behaviour to continue without feedback. So now, my biggest challenge is heightening my senses, recognising when misogyny is present, and addressing it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having been in the industry for some time, Hazel tells us all her achievements hold significant personal meaning since they\u2019re testaments to her dedication and hard work. \u201cGender-specific awards are not a norm in my industry, and I see no reason to make space for that,\u201d she states.<\/p>\n

Hazel\u2019s favourite cocktail:<\/strong> Hanky Panky, the first modern classic created by Ada Coleman. The cocktail contains gin, fernet branca, and sweet vermouth. \u201cThe balance and complexity allow them to shine while introducing a different side to those polarising ingredients,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u2060If she could create a cocktail inspired by Singapore, what would it be?<\/strong> \u201cWow, what a loaded question!\u201d she exclaims. If it were up to her, the drink would be similar to a Long Island Iced Tea, with gin, rum, whisky, cognac, a kaya orgeat, Ceylon tea, curry spices and gula melaka. The concoction would be served tiki-style: in a Merlion glass, topped with crushed ice.<\/p>\n

Her recommended drinking spot in Singapore:<\/strong> Besides Junior, her current favourite bar is The Store<\/a> along Neil Road. Everyone\u2019s warmly welcomed and it serves great cocktails. \u201cI\u2019ve never left The Store without a smile and a good time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fit Asri, assistant principal bartender at Jigger & Pony<\/h3>\n

Fit Asri\u2019s bartending journey is fuelled by her deep appreciation and love for spirits as well as the craftsmanship behind each quality cocktail. However, the assistant principal bartender at Jigger & Pony<\/a> says being a woman navigating a male-dominated industry can be taxing. The long hours are a prime example: she has to be at the bar most days; after clocking out, she continues researching and developing new cocktails. These responsibilities, on top of those she fulfils in her household, contribute to the physical and mental toll.<\/p>\n

“Nevertheless, I power through with the motivation and reminder that I\u2019m a woman, and we can also be fearless leaders,” she declares.<\/p>\n

Even though Fit has difficulty picking the one person whom she\u2019s inspired by (\u201cThere are too many to mention!\u201d), she eventually settles with Sophia Kang, One-Ninety Bar\u2019s head bartender. \u201cShe caught my attention since the start of my bartending journey, and I was really inspired by her achievements throughout the years,\u201d she explains. Fit also gives a shout-out to Sugarhall\u2019s principal bartender Sam Loh, who has guided her since day one.<\/p>\n

Fit finds it heartwarming when she learns she\u2019s inspiring others to pursue a career behind the bar. After a local polytechnic student visited Jigger & Pony and enquired about Fit\u2019s bartending journey as part of their project, they eventually became a bartender too. She says this has motivated her to \u201ctouch more hearts and create a positive impact on others, breaking the negative perceptions of this career being too difficult for a female\u201d.<\/p>\n

Fit\u2019s favourite cocktail:<\/strong> \u201c(Margarita) was the first cocktail I\u2019ve ever drank, and it unlocked my passion for the craft,\u201d she tells us. Her go-to is Cafe Iguana<\/a>\u2019s slushie margarita \u2013 she has no problem nursing a jug alone!<\/p>\n

\u2060If she could create a cocktail inspired by Singapore, what would it be?<\/strong> Taking inspiration from Singapore\u2019s melting pot of cultures and our love of food and drinks, Fit says she\u2019d come up with a drink called Little Dot. Her concoction will combine our national flower and tropical fruits.<\/p>\n

Her recommended drinking spot in Singapore:<\/strong> Did you know there are cool watering holes in the heartlands? Fit loves dropping by O\/T Bar<\/a> located in Woodlands<\/a>. According to her, the drinks are stellar on top of being friendlier to your wallet. \u201cGive it a try!\u201d she urges.<\/p>\n

Shayla Lee, former bartender at Night Hawk (now a law student in London)<\/h3>\n
\"Shayla

This young ingenue says she was hugely inspired by 28 HongKong Street\u2019s head bartender Tamaryn Cooper and Barbary Coast\u2019s general manager Ronalie Carranza, who share similar capabilities, charisma, and confidence. But her biggest source of inspiration is Trisha Leong, aka Taco, the senior bartender at Night Hawk. \u201cShe\u2019s always willing to teach you when you need help and will never scold you if you do something wrong,\u201d Shayla shares.<\/p>\n

When she was first introduced to the industry, Shayla admits she didn\u2019t think much about the impact of gender on her experience. However, she observes that male customers in Singapore tend to get comfortable (\u201csometimes too comfortable\u201d) around female bartenders, especially when they\u2019re tipsy. \u201cWhether it’s making inappropriate jokes when I\u2019m taking their order or slipping an arm around my waist when I\u2019m walking past them, it\u2019s all behaviours they\u2019d never show to male staff,\u201d she shares.<\/p>\n

Shayla surmises that some male customers don\u2019t respect women\u2019s personal space or the professionalism of the bar, which is why she\u2019s grateful for her male colleagues at Night Hawk<\/a>, who stand in solidarity with her. While she\u2019s learned to de-escalate situations over time, Shayla says it\u2019s good to know that the team has her back.<\/p>\n

One memorable experience that has stuck with Shayla is when Night Hawk encouraged her to participate in the Flor de Cana Sustainable Cocktail Challenge<\/a> last year. \u201cI felt supported throughout the journey, all thanks to the wonderful team. I gained much more confidence from the whole competition and throughout my time as a bartender.\u201d<\/p>\n
