    TAKE a seat at 3 of Cups on Haji Lane, and you’ll be handed a slim deck of cards – each corresponding to one of the bar’s signature cocktails.

    The bar is themed after tarot, the European card deck often used in divination, and is itself named for one of the cards, says co-founder Shamini Dass: “It means ‘come celebrate with us’.”

    A disco ball sets the mood on the ground floor of the slim shophouse unit, scattering points of light across the bar and two small tables. More seating is available on the quieter, lavender-hued second floor.
