The Champagnery

A champagne bar behind a sandwich shop. Amoy Street was always going to get one.

The Champagnery is for a late glass that feels like an occasion without needing one. It is a dark, plush lounge devoted to champagne, hidden behind a focaccia deli on Amoy Street, and it is built for the hours after dinner rather than before it. The compromises are size and price creep: it holds only 60, and a glass can become a bottle quickly. Go after dinner, start with a glass, and check its Instagram for opening times first.

Why it works

The entrance is half the fun. By day, 94 Amoy Street is Mamma Mia Focaccia, a sandwich deli; at night you walk through it, find the red door and you are in. It opened in November 2025 from Two S Creatives, the group behind Asador, Next Door Spanish Cafe and the 60ml speakeasy in Joo Chiat.

The idea is to take the pomp out of the bottle. General manager Benedict John Gerard has said there was demand for somewhere “celebratory but not intimidating”, and nobody expects you to know your dosage from your disgorgement. The list runs from glasses and approachable bottles through grower champagnes, vintages and magnums to four-figure bottles for anyone celebrating very hard indeed. If a bottle feels committal, there are champagne cocktails; the list has included a Clarified Pornstar, a Rose 75 and an Airmail. They sit on the straightforward side, which suits a room meant for sipping and talking rather than quizzing the bartender.

Later on, the music takes over. Erin Khan, formerly of Kyo, runs music and entertainment, and lounge tracks give way to DJ sets that move from house to open format. If you came to talk, come earlier.

How to do it well

Check Instagram before you go: opening times vary through the week, and it is closed on Sundays and Mondays. Wednesday’s Soirée is for over-25s. With 60 seats, come before the late crowd or be prepared to wait at the door.

Eat first. The deli out front is a sandwich shop, not a kitchen for a long night, and champagne on an empty stomach after midnight is a decision you make once. Order a glass, then let the evening decide whether it becomes a bottle; the list makes it easy to go up gradually.

Telok Ayer MRT is the closest station. Bring the friend with something to celebrate, or the one who will happily invent a reason.
