At Raffles at Galaxy Macau, the Long Bar invites guests into a realm of intrigue and adventure. Inspired by the legendary Long Bar at Raffles Singapore, where the first Singapore Sling was crafted in 1915, this unique venue continues the tradition of serving exotic cocktails infused with local flavors. Drawing inspiration from the Madre de Deus, a Portuguese carrack that brought valuable spices to Macau in the 1500s, the Long Bar evokes the essence of the coastal caves once filled with sailors and hidden treasures. Concealed from plain sight, it embodies a true speakeasy atmosphere, accessible through a nautical porthole door that leads to a beautifully chiseled cavern designed by renowned Hong Kong interior designer Joyce Wang. This secret hideaway is a gathering spot for modern explorers and aficionados of fine drinks.
Award-winning mixologist Antonio Lai, a native of Hong Kong, pays tribute to the art of gin-making from its early days when stills were kept in caves. Lai expertly crafts vintage gin-based cocktails, incorporating spices that were once transported by the Madre de Deus on its global voyages. Traditional seasonings such as pepper, cloves, cinnamon, mace, and nutmeg are skillfully reimagined in creative concoctions. With live vinyl DJ sets enhancing the ambiance, the Long Bar at Raffles at Galaxy Macau seamlessly blends flavors from the spice trade with contemporary cocktail culture and global gastronomy, offering guests an authentic and captivating experience.
Nestled along the east promenade of Galaxy Macau and adjacent to the historic charm of Old Taipa Village, Raffles at Galaxy Macau presents breathtaking views of Macau's skyline and the resort's stunning landscape.
