Rooftop Bars in Singapore

The collection of rooftop bars in Singapore is fantastic. Few places in the world could claim to have such an impressive array. Each offers a unique attribute of their own: be it view, ambiance or design. Read on and decide where you’ll venture next.

Altitude

Situated at 282 above the ground, Altitude has incredible 360-degree views. The triangular-shaped outdoor bar yields unobstructed views of flourishing Singapore. The lowered dancefloor allows party seekers to dance away to Altitude’s resident DJ in between marvelling at the views, cocktail-in-hand (picked from the comprehensive and varying drinks menu).

Located at: 1 Raffles Place. Open Sun-Thu 6pm- 1am; Fri, Sat & eve of public holidays 6pm-2am. 

Lantern may not be the highest bar but comes with much more.

Lantern

Situated on Marina Bay in the midst of Singapore’s CBD, Lantern’s location alone would be enough to draw in Singapore’s elite. This rooftop bar also dons a 25m pool, border of whirlpool niches, gorgeous cabanas, a live band and a lantern-inspired bar and you’ve got a gem of a watering-hole. Be sure to dress to impress- this place has reserved the right to pick only the best at the door.
