Our Story
Two founders, two venues, one rule: the wine should be great and the food should be real.
We Built the Wine Bar We Wanted to Drink At
In 2018, Singapore had wine bars where you needed a sommelier to hold your hand, chains where the wine was cheap but the food was an afterthought, and natural wine spots where the vibe mattered more than the glass. We wanted none of that. We wanted a place where you could walk in, try something new, eat a proper meal, and stay past midnight without anyone rushing you out. Eight years and two venues later, our regulars still walk in and say "the usual."
"We don't do wine snobbery. Tell us what you like, what you're eating, and what you want to spend. We'll find you the right bottle — not the most expensive one."
150 Labels, Zero Gatekeeping
At Siglap, the cellar is walk-in — you browse the bottles yourself, read the labels, pick what catches your eye. No waiting for a sommelier to decide for you. Every wine is there because someone on our team loves it. Small producers, fair markups, regions you won't find at the chains.
Where It Comes From
We know our suppliers by name. Sustainable when we can, seasonal when it makes sense — but flavour always wins the argument.
Two Kitchens, Two Identities
CHIJMES is Spanish — gambas al ajillo, croquetas, patatas bravas, plates you fight over. Siglap is Chef Alan's European kitchen — charcoal-grilled côte de bœuf, $38 lobster Tuesdays, weekend roast for two. This isn't a wine bar with bar snacks. Both venues cook properly.
Honest Recommendations, Not Upselling
Our team drinks the same wine we sell you. Tell them your budget and what you're eating — they'll match you to a bottle, not push the most expensive one on the list. That's how you earn regulars who come back every week.
