SINGAPORE – American grill restaurant Rosemead and rum bar Sugarhall, both of which are owned by Jigger & Pony Group, will close their doors on July 26.
The two establishments are located in the same heritage building at 19 Cecil Street, and opened in December 2021 and March 2022 respectively.
The announcements were made on their respective Instagram accounts.
Sugarhall will be making way for a new concept that is still under development, the group’s deputy marketing director Emily Seow told The Straits Times.
Meanwhile, an offer had come in to take over the ground floor space currently taken up by Rosemead,
“The rest of our venues are doing well, and we are looking to expand with another new concept,” added Ms Seow.
The group also owns Jigger & Pony at Amara Hotel in Tanjong Pagar and Live Twice in Bukit Pasoh. Jigger & Pony has consistently been Singapore’s top-ranked bar in the Asia’s Best Bars and World’s Best Bars rankings in the last five years.
The shuttering of Rosemead and Sugarhall follows a flurry of closures in the bar scene over the last few months.
These include Ballroom by Barbary Coast in North Canal Road and Junior The Pocket Bar in Ann Siang Hill, and multi-concept restaurant bar 1939 in Keong Saik Road.
Private members’ club 1880 suddenly closed its doors on June 17. Then on June 26, The Dragon Chamber in Circular Road announced it will end operations on Aug 2 “as we hunt for a new lair”. Wine bar RVLT will serve its last glass on July 12.
