Singapore’s breezy evenings are best enjoyed at the city’s rooftop bars.
Popular for after-work sundowners, these bars are the perfect place to watch the sky change hues as the sun sets. Perched above the twinkling lights of the island, the pulsating music and contagious vibe allows you to forget your worries for a while. Here are our favourite rooftop bars in the city, whether you’re looking for a quiet romantic evening or a night out with friends:
ARTEMIS
Artemis Grill is a modern Mediterranean rooftop restaurant and bar on the CapitalGreen building. The restaurant is surrounded by glass walls that allow diners to have a panoramic view of Singapore from the central business district. A. CapitaGreen, 138 Market Street, #40-01 048946
LAVO
Right next door to Ce-La-Vi (entrance through Tower 1 of MBS), Lavo is a new Italian destination that spills out into a wonderous patio and outdoor area. The ivory-coloured bar stretches out on one side of the seemingly never-ending terrace. The Italian food is outstanding and we recommend Lavo over Ce-La-Vi if you’re looking for fabulous food to complement the views. Of special note is the giant-sized meatball and a fun cheesecake sundae to end with. A. Level 57, Sands Skypark Hotel Tower 1, 10 Bayfront Avenue, Marina Bay Sands 018956

The food menu offers global dishes with an Asian twist. Notoriously difficult to find, just enter the hotel lobby in Tower 3 and you will find your way up. Though many rooftop bars in the city boast of great city views, this is one of the few (if not the only, along with Lavo) from where you get a postcard-perfect view of Gardens by the Bay as well as the sea dotted with brightly lit ships.
