Glass of wine, Different Experience, After work, Great View

Cardinal Point, perched atop Forty-Five in Central, is a vibrant new venue that fuses creative cocktails, global cuisine, and panoramic harbour views. Helmed by award-winning mixologist John Nugent of The Diplomat, the bar delivers a stellar drinks programme with a playful twist on tropical classics and experimental signatures. Must-try cocktails include the Larry Bird – a rum-based concoction with pineapple skin and Suze Gentian – and the Purple Potato Painkiller, blending blackstrap rum with coconut cream and purple sweet potato (imo). For something bold, sip on Love & Thunder, featuring vodka, beetroot, and cacao, or try Chips & Dip, a savoury surprise with tequila and cheese nachos. The menu curated by Rafa Gil combines bold international flavours with Asian flair. Highlights include Binchotan-grilled Unagi Bento, Shanghai-style Pork Chop Noodles, and Sicilian Chicken Parmigiana by The Merchants team. A standout raw bar and premium butcher cuts – like USDA Super Prime T-Bone and Aveyron Lamb Chops – round out the experience. Whether for sundowners on the al fresco Sky Terrace or late-night lounging with curated DJ sets, Cardinal Point is a sophisticated escape with world-class views and vibrant energy.
