Nothing says fancy quite the same way as rooftop bars. Cocktails, high-end hotels, and the beautiful view of the Singapore’s lights glittering over the Marina Bay, that is, without a doubt, one of the top things to do in this gorgeous city. Here, we’ll show you some of the best places to visit.
Famous for being the highest microbrewery in the world, LeVeL 33 is located, as its name suggests, on the thirty-third floor of the Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower. The establishment has a fantastic view of the Marina Bay, which is best viewed from the seating on their outdoor terrace, but they also have an indoor space for those reluctant to leave the air-con. They usually have half a dozen craft beers, brewed on site, to suit every kind of beer drinker’s tastes, from the dark, strong Stout to the rich, malty Bavaria that dates back to medieval times.
Located on top of the iconic Marina Bay Sands Hotel, Ce La Vi, formerly known as Ku De Ta, is one of the trendsetters in this rooftop bar business. With a restaurant as well as an outdoor bar, this establishment has an unparalleled view of the Marina Bay. They are famous for their innovative cocktails, which mix well-loved classics with local flavours, such as the long-time favourite Storm Cooler, or the Green Garden, which contains elderflower, lime, cucumber and gin.

Tired of the lavish bars at hotels and wanting to look for something a little more local and down-to-earth? Try Loof. One of the first stand alone indie rooftop bars in Singapore, this bar is located at tree-top level. Their wooden deck, decorated with plants and garden furniture, is reminiscent of a rooftop garden, a dash of greenery in the midst of towering high-rises. They serve South-east Asian food such as the hoisin duck spring rolls and chili crab cheese fries. Similarly, their drinks are delightfully local, for example the cocktail Ho Chi Mint is a refreshing drink of pear, cucumber, mint and vodka, while The Loof LIfe incorporates rum, pineapple, lychee and mint.
