She Set the Bar

She set the Bar: International Women’s Day One-Night Takeover at NINE at CQ

On 8 March, step into NINE at CQ, Café Quenino’s after-dark alter ego, for a one-night takeover that celebrates the women redefining cocktail culture through consistency, craft and quiet influence.

Titled She Set the Bar, the evening spotlights two pioneering guest bartenders from Penang, each bringing a distinct point of view to the glass. Chew Qing Ting of Steep Social is known for a style of mixology that is both thoughtful and joyful, with tea at the heart of her work, not as a trend, but as an ingredient shaped by patience and respect for origin. Joining her is Kar Ve, co-founder and creative force behind Biso, recognised for bold, layered flavours and a raw-ingredient approach that transforms culinary ideas into cocktails with intention and soul.

Across the night, enjoy nine exclusive cocktails priced at S$24 each, created through the lens of women-led creativity and NINE at CQ’s signature flavour-forward style. A live set by  DJ Val, a Singapore-based open-format DJ, rounds out the atmosphere, bringing energy to a night designed to be as celebratory as it is meaningful.
