Quaich Bar

What Quaich Bar does

Quaich Bar operates a chain of three dedicated whisky bars in Singapore, founded in 2007 with the opening of the Collector outlet at Waterfront Plaza. The company expanded its footprint in 2016 with two additional locations: Avant-Garde at South Beach and Wanderlust at Frasers House in Bugis, the latter embedded within a hotel hospitality venue. The bars collectively offer more than 500 whisky varieties, curated by Scotland-trained whisky specialists, and serve a mix of whisky enthusiasts, nightlife patrons, hotel guests, and corporate event clients.

The core product is on-premise whisky consumption complemented by curated bottle takeaway retail at price points reaching $1,199 and above. Operations are supported by a small core team of six employees and standard hospitality tooling, namely SevenRooms for reservations and an advocado.app portal for membership management. The Quaich Bar Club tiered loyalty program — Basic (free), Collectors ($100/year), Supporters ($1,200/year), and Connoisseurs ($8,000/year) — provides tiered benefits including bottle access, discounts, and event privileges.

Revenue is generated through beverage sales at three outlets, membership subscriptions across the four tiers, takeaway bottle retail, and private/corporate event hire. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, and operates exclusively within Singapore. There is no evidence of technology-led differentiation, proprietary digital platforms, or AI/ML deployment across the business.

Revenue model

1. On-premise beverage sales: Revenue generated from selling whisky by the glass, cocktails, cigars, and other spirits at three bar locations. Prices range from approximately $12++ for happy hour drinks. Quaich Bar Club loyalty programme incentivises repeat spending through QuaichStar cashback.
2. Membership subscriptions: The Quaich Bar Club operates a tiered loyalty programme. Basic membership is free; higher tiers (Collectors, Supporters, Connoisseurs) are attained by spending thresholds ($100, $1,200, $8,000 per year respectively). Revenue is indirectly generated as tiers encourage increased spending.
3. Whisky bottle retail: Sale of whisky bottles for takeaway, including bottles priced $1,199 and below (earning QuaichStar rewards). Some retail items are excluded from loyalty earning.
4. Private event hosting: Quaich Bar offers customised event hosting at all three outlets, including corporate events, private parties, and whisky masterclasses. Revenue is generated through venue hire and event-specific F&B minimums.
