Dark and slightly brooding, The Public Eight looks like any other bar in town on the upscale end that’s suitable for intimate dates. Take your pick from a stool at the long bar counter or one of the lower tables suitable for groups.

The fairly simple decor better allows the stars of the show to shine - namely the cocktails, which are probably the whole reason why you’ve headed down in the first place.

Serving up major Beauty and the Beast vibes is The Confession, a deep red concoction infused with Kenzo Estate Rindo, Calvados, and pomegranate, featuring a rose balanced on a single ice cube.
It already looks mesmerising in its original state, but the real magic lies in the cloud of glitter dust that will envelope the whole glass - in a spectacle carried out by skilled bartender Tsuyoshi Kimura.

Another popular drink here is The Gimlet, a blue gin-based cocktail that appears to glow in the dark.

There’s also the mysterious Forever Love, an adapted version of the Blue Moon cocktail. This pretty purple beverage has a floral-fruity taste, with Suntory Roku Gin, Elderflower, and Lemon.

We suspect Stardust on the City was inspired by Singapore - could the crescent moon perched on top be a nod to our national flag? With Sencha, Apple, Yuzu, Blue Lagoon, and Lemon Zest, this unique drink will probably come with a fresh fruity flavour.
