The Sandman by Blind Tiger Ent - Melaka

Hidden location - look for a narrow staircase going up to the second floor.

Almost missed the place because we couldn't find it but I'm glad we persisted because this ended up being one of my favorite experiences in Melaka.

Well-balanced, refreshing and tasty cocktails made by the most friendly, genuine and chatty bartender/boss and his team.

Highly recommend sitting at the bar!

The entrance isn’t easy to find.
Google map is correct but I wasn't expecting it to be located on the second floor.
The first time I tried to spot the bar, I gave up and went to another bar but I tried again after all 😀
If you see "the biggest halal food court", you are at the right place.
Even after that, it looks like it is a maze, though.
Good that I got the pictures of how to get to the entrance door on WhatsApp, otherwise I would have lost on the second floor.

If you go to any bar, you can have very basic cocktails but here at The Sandman, you can expect further. (Yes, this is a cocktail bar)
I tried old fashioned and whiskey sour.
They have options of either Suntory or house whiskey.
The house whiskey sounds like it is smokey, I chose the house whiskey, I love it pretty much as I prefer smokey taste when it comes to whiskey.

The bar might be small but not too small and the decoration is very unique and tasteful.
I took many pictures. All the staff there are so generous and friendly.

It was a Monday night and I didn't need to book a table but if you wanna go on weekend, you better book a table.
If I am not mistaken , there is no bar snack. It is purely a cocktail bar.

喜歡🥰可以說中文，可以特調你想要喝的酒，老闆跟店員都非常親切，可以滿足你任何需求特製你想喝的酒，隔壁桌的客人想要喝奇怪的調酒，老闆馬上滿足，還有伏特加果凍，完全沒酒味，超喜歡，超好聊，輕鬆舒服😌

Very very pleasant experience in Melaka. If you like to drink heavy, order “The God Father” first & “Siao Zha Bor” after (refreshing). Also don’t miss out on their secret shots. I can never forget the taste of “Crazy Maria” goddamnnnn, tastiest tequila ever . Bartender Kenny is such a great host, great to meet him.

Average cocktail 38-50++ A super hidden bar with a cozy, intimate vibe, offering expertly crafted drinks and a unique atmosphere. It's the perfect place to unwind, discover new cocktails, and enjoy the secretive charm of a tucked-away spot.

It's hard to fault a hidden bar that's truly hidden! We had challenges finding it until Nicole rushed out from the bar to lead the flock to the right location 😂

The cocktails are on the spot! Especially the classics with minor twists by Kenny and team. Conversation was great with the atmosphere being chill and relaxed enough to just enjoy the company and drinks. Interesting spin on the deco and great choice of music!

Will definitely return the next time we swing by Melaka again!
