Blu Jaz Café started as a 16 seater Burger joint at No.71 Dunlop Street in Little India in 2004. Next to it was The Inn crowd, a popular backpacker’s hostel and a stone throw away Prince of Wales, an Aussie pub cum backpackers. After about 2 years, Blu Jaz moved to their current location at No. 11 Bali Lane in Kampong Glam in 2006 and has been here for the last 12 years.

Along the way, Blu Jaz has grown into a popular hot spot for live entertainment, bursting with great vibes, music, visual arts, and people.

As a company, Blu Jaz group of bars and restaurants have grown to include Muzium Mediterranean Cafe and Piedra Negra Mexican Bar and Restaurant.

2. Maduro

Maduro is owned by Mr. P, both a classically trained pianist and a dogged realist since young. In 2019, P was presented with the opportunity to take over the top floor above all-day French bistro atout. Faced with a blank canvas and Dempsey’s lush, leafy tranquil as his backdrop—and only at the age of 64—P, inspired by a lifetime of achievements in circles that couldn’t be worlds apart, created Maduro.

To some, Maduro is a wine and whisky connoisseur’s dream come true. To others, a listening lounge devoted to preserving the virtuosity of the classics – both genres and libations alike. To the select few, Maduro is their secret slice of heaven on earth. According to old Spanish etymology, Maduro depicts an act “to ripen, mature”.

Revel in the glorious acts streamed live from Maduro, strike up a conversation with the musicians in real-time, get lost in their growing collection of past highlights. Take all the time you need, and when you’re ready, you know where to find head to.
