While details of when exactly it will be launched as well as the specifics of its menu have not been finalised, the restaurant will have a casual classic American luncheonette design, with piped music ranging from 1990s hip hop to 1980s pop tunes.

The restaurant will be able to seat more than 150, and will feature a commissioned wall mural depicting elements of urban life in Singapore.

Outside of New York, where Black Tap operates in three locations, the restaurant has stores in Las Vegas, Dubai and Geneva.

Black Tap is the latest American burger eatery to open here. Others include 25 Degrees and Burger Joint.
