Moutai House Is Bringing A Spirits Experience, Chinese Restaurant And Rooftop Bar To Singapore

Singapore’s historical Fullerton Waterboat House is about to get an unexpected new resident. Opening in October, Moutai House Singapore is transforming the three-story landmark into a new lifestyle destination dedicated to one of China’s most celebrated spirits. The project marks a major step in Kweichow Moutai’s international expansion, bringing together a spirits discovery centre, a Chinese restaurant, and a rooftop cocktail bar in one surprising addition to Singapore’s drinking and dining scene.

The first floor is home to the Moutai Experiential Centre, where the spirit’s history and production come to life through interactive displays that explore its ingredients, craftsmanship, and distinctive flavour profile. One of the biggest draws will be Southeast Asia’s first dedicated birth-year Moutai collection, with vintages dating back to 1965 (the year Singapore gained independence), as well as more than 300 exclusive collectible labels—some of which are rare editions valued at up to $1 million. There’s even a Singapore-exclusive Directory Collection featuring Nanyang-inspired designs incorporating motifs such as the country’s national flower, the Vanda Miss Joaquim.

Food takes over the next level, with Imperial Treasure Moutai House bringing the Singapore-founded (and MICHELIN-Starred) group together with Kweichow Moutai for a dining concept centred on Huaiyang cuisine and vibrant Guizhou flavours. The idea is to explore the spirit alongside food rather than treating it purely as a celebratory pour. Expect dishes that demonstrate how Moutai’s complex sweet, savoury, sour, umami, and bitter notes work at the table.

Capping it off is SOHAUS, the rooftop social house created with Singapore’s Nutmeg Collective, the team behind Nutmeg & Clove. The bar will offer eight original cocktails built around Moutai, alongside eight classics with a Moutai-inspired makeover. Such a programme is intended to make the spirit more approachable for those new to baijiu, while giving seasoned drinkers something a little more experimental to explore. Of course, this experience only gets better with the city skyline providing the backdrop for the entire night. 

Together, the three spaces give the Fullerton Waterboat House a new mix of culture, collecting, Chinese dining, and contemporary nightlife. Quite a departure from the building’s days as a water-supply station.
