Singapore’s Rooftop Bars
For the best views of Singapore’s striking skyline at night, sit back, relax
and have a drink at one of the city’s many spectacular rooftop bars.
Offering dazzling cityscape views, exotic cocktail menus and fashionable
décor, these sky high bars are the perfect place to wind down after a
non-stop day of sightseeing or a stylish spot to kick start your evening.
ORGO
Orgo is a sophisticated Singaporean institution that brings together great
food and cocktails with an environmental conscious. With stunning 360°
views of Marina Bay, mixologist Tomoyuki Kitazoe brings the concept of
“organic chemistry” to life in this smart little bar, starting with the best in
organic ingredients for a menu of delicious food and cocktails. Try the
Soursop and Calamansi Cocktail or be a bit adventurous and let your
drink be your desert with a Roasted Apple Pie Cocktail. 8 Raffl es Avenue,
#04-01. Visit orgo.sg
1-ALTITUDE
With the title of highest bar in Singapore, you know the view from 1-Altitude
is going to be pretty spectacular. Situated 282 metres above the ground,
offering unparalleled views of Singapore, 1-Altitude bar boasts a number
of awards including the Time-Out Best New Rooftop Bar 2011 and the
Singapore Prestige Brand Award 2010. We hear their Chocolate Sidecar
is amazing! 1 Raffl es Place (Former OUB Centre). Visit 1-altitude.com
KU DÉ TA
Situated 57 stories above the city, this luxurious rooftop bar features
a poolside bar, observation deck, restaurant and club lounge. With
stunning 360° views of the city, Ku Dé Ta has fast become Singapore’s
afterparty “It” spot since opening in 2010. We recommend Ku Dé Ta for
sunset cocktails – try Lady Be Mine, a sumptuous martini with lychee,
rose water and apple juice. Skypark at Marina Bay Sands North Tower, 1
Bayfront Avenue. Visit kudeta.com.sg
LOOF
Often described as eccentric, playful and hip, this split level bar was
designed as a refuge, sanctuary and canvas for city workers, creative
minds and budding artists alike. Sit back and relax on the gorgeous,
plush lounges while taking in the chilled sounds and breathtaking
views. Loof offers a delicious mix of international and quirky cocktails,
such as the Gummiberry – a combination of Cointreau and Berry with
Caramelised Meringue. 331 North Bridge Road #03-07, Odeon Towers
Extension Rooftop. Visit loof.com.sg/rooftopbar
HELIPAD
Helipad boasts gorgeous views of Clarke Quay and the Singapore River.
Guests can soak up the atmosphere and observe Singapore’s busiest
district go about its business while relaxing on the deck’s oversized,
luminous seats, which form the bar’s signature H. The adventurous
should try the Helipad Ice Tea – an original and lethal concoction of gin,
vodka, rum, tequila, Blue Curacao and lime juice. 6 Eu Tong Sen Street.

LANTERN
Situated on top of the Fullerton Bay Hotel, Lantern features a 6-metre long
lantern shaped bar, a 25-metre pool and panoramic views of the Singapore
city skyline. A Latin American theme permeates the atmosphere, food,
drinks and music. We highly recommend the Red Lantern cocktail – a
sublime mix of Don Julio Tequila with watermelon, cucumber, lime and a
splash of Cointreau. 80 Collyer Quay. Visit fullertonbayhotel.com
