It’s not only food bars that are adopting the one dish wonder approach. These new drink specialists are also zeroing in on specific tipples.

Champagne bar at Lolla
In the basement private dining room of small plates joint Lolla is a cool Champagne counter with 20 kinds of boutique bubbly. They’ve got bottles like Salon Blanc de Blancs ($660), plus by-the-glass options (from $25).

The Manor
This whisky specialist is Scotch label The Balvenie’s first bar in Asia. It's set to open upstairs of new retro watering hole Zui Hong Lou this month.

Tippletown
Beer’s the focus here and the bar stocks some 80 bottles (from $10), categorized by style—region-specific ales, fruit beers, porters and stouts, ciders—rather than label, all accompanied by useful info (country of origin, flavor, volume and alcohol content).
