AVENUE Singapore, the next joint venture between leading hospitality company TAO Group and Marina Bay Sands, is set to open its doors on 23 May 2019. The elegant bespoke lounge will be the third of TAO Group’s establishments in Singapore, following the successful launch of Italian restaurant and rooftop bar, LAVO, in January 2018, and MARQUEE nightclub in April 2019.

Occupying a 372 square metres space located within the same complex as MARQUEE, AVENUE is a hidden gem tucked away below the nightclub, with a distinctly different atmosphere. This bespoke lounge offers a layered, luxurious and immersive experience to guests seeking a more intimate and refined setting away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Heralding from the United States, AVENUE is one of the most sought-after late-night haunts in New York and Los Angeles, known for its star-studded nights at both its outlets. This iconic lounge has been the definitive hangout for A-listers such as Kim Kardashian, Jay Z, Lebron James, Rihanna, and more.  

A HIDDEN GEM IN THE HEART OF MARINA BAY SANDS

Accessible via its own stylish entrance on the exterior of The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands along Bayfront Avenue, AVENUE is an intimate and sophisticated hideout for relaxed drinks before a night out, or as a respite from the rousing atmosphere of the club.

Designed by ICRAVE, the New York-based architecture firm also behind the design of MARQUEE, AVENUE is modelled after beautiful, upscale residences of the world, peppered with a variety of games and experiences. Social interaction is at the heart of this space, with engaging elements such as a mini bowling alley, vintage arcade games like a pinball machine and skee ball machine, and a pool table.

Lavishly decked in plush custom banquettes, detailed wood paneling with gilded metal mesh accents and glowing glass pendants, this elegant space evokes the opulence of a lavish penthouse apartment. Features like textured granite table tops and barware that further accentuate the metropolitan-chic vibe of this inviting space, play up alongside intelligent lighting and top of the line Funktion One DJ consoles and sound systems.

The lounge is divided into distinct zones – a private section with two mini bowling alley lanes; a main lounge area with elaborate, plush chairs and low tables for convivial gatherings; a gaming room with a pool table and vintage arcade pinball and skee ball machines; eventually leading into a highly enriched gold room with its own personal bar.

Committed to providing guests a unique VIP experience, AVENUE will also have its own private parking area for registered license plate holders, accessible from within the carpark of The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, featuring an entrance with a distinct LED-lit awning.

SERVING UP BESPOKE COCKTAILS

Boasting a menu of original inventions and renditions of modern classics, the cocktail menu at AVENUE is created with the essence of the convivial lounge in mind, taking inspiration from both its American roots and latest Asian home.

With breezy names like Just Another Sling, AVENUE takes a spin on the classic Singapore Sling, incorporating an Asian household favorite ingredient, gula melaka, to the Gin-based concoction. Gin lovers will also enjoy a selection of creations like Sunny Island and G.L.T, while Whisky and Rum aficionados can knock back a tipple with Smokescreen, CC Old Fashioned, and Dancing in the Dark. Fans of Tequila and Mezcal are not left behind either and can hop on a night of fun with Jump on the Cadillac and Rosita Stone.

Delectable on the palate and easy on the pocket, AVENUE’s cocktails are priced at $22 nett.

FOR MUSIC LOVERS OF ALL GENRES

AVENUE Singapore will play host to a variety of different music genres on its different operating nights, catering to music lovers of all genres, from R&B, hip hop, to open-format mash-ups and more. The lounge will also have its own rotation of resident DJs as well as feature guest artistes from around the world.  

AVENUE Singapore is located at Marina Bay Sands, 2 Bayfront Avenue, Basement 3, Singapore 018972, and is accessible via its Level 1 entrance on the exterior of The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands.
