Dinner at The Clubroom

The Clubroom is a love letter to Luke’s and its most loyal clientele, serving signature new-American classics alongside wood-fired dishes and excellent cocktails. Once territory to only a privileged few, The Clubroom is a gorgeous restaurant and bar that is finally letting the rest of us in on the secret. Hidden behind a door in glossy midnight blue, The Clubroom was established in late 2021 by the Travis Masiero Restaurant Group, the same collective behind Luke’s Oyster Bar and Chophouse, Blue Label Pizza and Wine, and Nixta Mexican Grill and Bar. If you’re after Leonardo’s Gatsby 1920s vibes - this place is for you!

Telok Ayer and Amoy Street r the Xiantiandis of Singapore, the little red dot. So much has changed here - like how the River Valley warehouses are now swanky Robertson Quays and waterside esplanades. Amoy Street and and Telok Ayer feels like an Daikanyama or a Omotesando in Japan - or Hanok village in Seoul (with old restored buildings). Regardless - since it’s located right in the heart of the CBD - it’s a vibrant night during weekdays, something like Lan Kwai Fong in HK.

Check out their flatware and customize knives.

The Clubroom’s food is above average for sure. The pork chops 7/10.

The oysters were top class - Rhone, Maine at 7/10. The white wine sauce was lip smackingly good.

The classic prawn cocktail was superb at 7.5/10

The club sandwich my daughter had was accompanied by a house made honey mustard sauce - also superb. 7/10

Overall The Clubroom weighs in at a very respectable 7/10. Book well in advance - especially for weekday nights. This row (Telok Ayer Street) boasts quite a few Top 50 bars globally - including Employess Only and White Shades.

The cocktails at The Clubroom are par excellente - the espresso martini. The alpine. The negroni were all masterfully Concocted. If you had to choose one it would be the espresso martini.

What a befitting birthday weekend spread— and to be able celebrate at my namesake’s was a plus. The complimentary mille fuile our server gave us was really next level. Thin flaky pastry on cream custard stripes.
