El Chido Reopens Rooftop With Barnes & Brown Zero-Proof Cocktails

El Chido at Pullman Singapore Hill Street reopened its covered rooftop terrace on 26 June 2026 and became the first venue in Singapore to serve Barnes & Brown’s RTD non-alcoholic cocktail range. The launch adds premium zero-proof options to one of the city’s best-known rooftop bars as demand for alcohol-free drinks grows.

Why it matters: - El Chido’s reopening strengthens one of Singapore’s rooftop dining draws with an all-weather terrace that can operate rain or shine. - The venue’s debut of Barnes & Brown RTD cocktails gives guests premium non-alcoholic choices at a high-traffic rooftop bar. - The move signals continued demand for zero-proof drinks in upscale hospitality, where speed, consistency and presentation matter.

What happened: - El Chido reopened on 26 June 2026 at Pullman Singapore Hill Street after the installation of a new all-weather rooftop cover. - The rooftop Mexican bar became the first venue in Singapore to offer Barnes & Brown’s Ready-To-Drink non-alcoholic cocktail range. - Pullman Singapore Hill Street is part of Accor Group.

The details: - Barnes & Brown’s RTD range includes four 250ml canned cocktails: Lady Juniper Gin & Tonic, Lady Juniper Negroni, Southern Belle & Cola, and Signorina Valentina Spritz. - The cans are designed for venues that need speed of service, consistency and quality. - El Chido also carries Barnes & Brown’s bottled non-alcoholic spirits lineup: Lady Juniper, Miss Agave, Señorita Bianco, Southern Belle, Countess Cora, Lady Marmalade and Signorina Valentina. - Zero Proof Collective Pte Ltd is Barnes & Brown’s exclusive distributor for Southeast Asia and is based in Singapore. - Zero Proof Collective handles distribution, marketing and brand activation for Barnes & Brown across the region. - The company works with premium hotels, restaurants, bars and private members’ clubs to grow the non-alcoholic spirits category in Southeast Asia. - Barnes & Brown says the RTD range is already available across Australia. - El Chido describes its rooftop offering as panoramic Marina Bay views, signature cocktails, live entertainment and year-round celebration space.

Between the lines: - Pullman Singapore Hill Street is positioning El Chido as a venue where premium non-alcoholic drinks are part of the core offer, not a secondary menu option. - The RTD format fits rooftop service because it reduces preparation time while keeping the beverage experience consistent. - The launch gives Barnes & Brown a visible entry point into Singapore through a hospitality setting that already has strong brand recognition.

What's next: - Zero Proof Collective is likely to use El Chido as a regional showcase while expanding Barnes & Brown through more premium venues. - The partnership suggests more hotel bars and restaurants in Southeast Asia may add premium non-alcoholic RTD options as guest demand grows. - Barnes & Brown’s Singapore debut could support broader adoption of the brand’s bottled spirits range across the market.

The bottom line: - El Chido’s reopening is more than a venue refresh; it is also a test case for how premium hotels in Singapore can fold zero-proof drinks into a standard luxury experience.
