The Venue

Situated directly on the site of the legendary Silver Horse - a popular haunt with servicemen during the early-mid 1900s, the venue is proud to be reborn as The Thirsty Lawyer.

With eight distinct areas under one roof, the establishment boasts two elegant dining rooms, two opulent lounges, a designated VIP room, two stylish bars, and for those who prefer to dine or drink al fresco - an outdoor seating area in the midst of ‘The Gut’.

Luxuriously furnished in their own unique style, each area comes equipped with exclusive acoustics and adjustable mood lighting to suit any occasion.

The Muse

The inspiration for The Thirsty Lawyer concept started, first and foremost, from the location itself. Strait Street is drenched with a chequered history of bars and exuberant nightlife entertainment, particularly popular with British servicemen during the war times, until it eventually started losing its shine a decade or two later.

The historical aura of the place, took us on an imaginative journey further back in time to the days of the prohibition era and speakeasies running bootlegging businesses in 1920s America. The era is also reminiscent and iconic for the short-lived art movement known as Art Deco. All these elements came gracefully woven together to inspire the design themes, interior spaces and general mood setting of The Thirsty Lawyer itself.
