The Shophouse
Built on one address, run as two ideas
White Shades began its rebranding from a four-storey into a two-storey cocktail playground. In 2026 it was reshaped into two focused rooms: Shards, a pared-back living-room bar built on the Japanese idea of kintsugi — mending what's broken — and Lumina, a breezy rooftop built for groups, skylines and long nights. Same address, same team, two different moods. One kitchen serves both floors — see the full food and cocktail menu.

Level 3 · Cocktail Bar
Walking into Shards feels like walking into a friend's living room. The space is stripped back on purpose — a colour-changing skylight sets the mood, drinks are poured over a simple white counter, and every cocktail menu is hand-burnt at the edges.
- Kintsugi-inspired design — repurposed glassware from chipped glasswares, reshaped and given new life
- 10 signature cocktails at $23 — a notch below the CBD's $26–28 average. You can opt to make your own cocktail behind the bar too
- Private room available for birthdays and group nights, minimum spend applies
Happy Hour, from 3pm
$10 pours till 5pm, $15 till 7pm, $23 after. Bespoke cocktails, $25. See both happy hours.
Level 4 · Rooftop Bar
Up on the roof, Lumina trades the hush of Level 3 for open air and a bigger crowd. It's the casual half of the shophouse — cocktails on tap, slushies and draft beer, built for groups who want the skyline with their drink.
- Cocktails on tap, slushies, draft beer, wine and bespoke pours
- Open-air rooftop seating — wheelchair accessible, good for groups
- Sheltered with Portal AC coolers
Sunset Hour, 5–7pm daily
Draught beer from $10, $11 highball, $13 tap cocktails. Plus a free-flow Japanese whisky highball at $50++, from 6:30–8:30pm. Full Sunset Hour details.
