Perched on the rooftop of a conservation shophouse in Tanjong Pagar, Levant is a stylish, cosmopolitan open-air bar that crafts out sleek cocktails and Mediterranean-inspired mezze plates perfect for sharing. The menu plays with the flavours of the region, mingling citrus with exotic spices and florals.
Smooth grooves, sassy beats and the cool city breeze set the tone for nights of reunions and rendezvous.

We had a great evening at Levant last night. Managed to sample about 8 cocktails between the two of us and saw some great bar bites coming out of the Kitchen. We indulged in the stuffed olives, perfectly fried calamari and a chicken dish which was ample food for both of us as the portions are on the Larger side, and after all it was just to have a light snack with our drinks. I want to thank the staff and the management. The barman was super, and the manager was expressive and explanatory with the mission behind the bar. I love this location in Tras Street - I just know this new additional to the bar scene in Singapore will be around for many years to come.
We felt the cocktails needed a little refining – which will come in due course over the weeks as the menu settles, after all they have only been open a short while. The craftsmanship, preparation and presentation of the cocktails are top notch. The entire creation process was quite theatrical adding an element of entertainment to the experience. The flavour combinations of the cocktail are rather unique and some extraordinary infusions going on, although quite complex in nature, the result tends to be on the sweet side – but that is just my taste. I’m more the sour guy. I think I had a bit of a sugar hit by the end of the night. I needed a chardonnay to level things out.
Overall, our visit to Levant was an entertaining and enjoyable experience. I am so pleased a bar like Levant has come into the market. Levant is relaxed, chilled, social, has a light air about the atmosphere, airy with plenty of fans, no pretentious, with a neighbourhood vibe, and what stood out is that the bar staff and the punters enjoying a drink are an extremely friendly demographic. It is the type of bar where you will most probably bump into people you know. We did! Great mix of expats and global locals. Bravo, give this one a go and plan to return. Prices are not high at all and they do have deals for bottles of wine and gin and the like - as well. Worthy of a reservation.
Quench your thirst for lip-smacking cocktails at the swanky new rooftop bar in Singapore. Levant comes with a promise of splendid views, lively ambience, and great music. The mixologists here make sassy drinks like Pomona Potion, a mix of genever, pear vincotto & kumquat, Golden Haze featuring rum, saffron & grapefruit, and Greek Forest with honeycomb infused Tsipuro, pine liquor & honey. Pair your choice of poison with their finger-licking bar bites - French Fries in a Ras-el-Hanout Spice Mix, Smoked Duck & Truffle Samosas with a Mango Amba Sauce, and Beef Kofta Sliders & Eggplant Fritter with a fiery Green Chilli Shatta.
