What would definitely fail in London’s is heaven in Asia. Rooftop bars. Have a cold drink after a long day of work on a relaxing bar outside, enjoying the (little) wind and the open space around you!
Great Drinks and wonderful views at these Rooftop Bars in Singapore!
1. New Asia Bar
Its THE place to bring your visitors on the first evening. Once the highest Hotel of the world, they lost that title some time ago, but the rooftop bar on the 70th floor is as magical as ever before.
You can have a great view of Singapore from inside the bar or (careful, insider tip) go to the heliport on top of the building to enjoy the full view.
New Asia Bar (Details)
Swissôtel The Stamford, Level 71, Equinox Complex 2 Stamford Road
Sun-Tue 3pm-1am; Wed & Thu 3pm-2am; Fri, Sat & holiday eve 3pm-3am
2. Screening Room
One of my personal favorites the Screening Rooms rooftop bar is only on the 5th floor, but being located in the heart of China Town the view up to the surrounding skyscrapers and the bustling streets downstairs is great.
Screening Room (Details)
12 Ann Siang Road, Singapore 069692
Mon-Thu 6pm-1am; Fri & Sat 6pm-3am; Su closed
3. Breeze
Another favorite located in China Town is Breeze. Sharing the same great view of Singapore’s business district combined with busy China Town below, Breeze offers an extremely cozy and relaxing ambiance, paired with great drinks and food.

33 Erskine Road
Mon-Fri 6pm-1am; Sat & holiday eve 6pm-2am; Sun 5-11pm
4. Loof
Yet a completely different type of rooftop bar is Loof. A happening point and often location for events of all type, the big rooftop offers interesting design with an excellent view towards Singapore’s best known hotel, The Raffles Hotel.
Loof (Details)
331 North Bridge Road, #03-07 Odeon Towers
Daily: 5.30pm – 2am
5. Orgo
One of the latest additions in Singapore’s rooftop bars is Orga, that just recently opened and is located on the 4th floor of Singapore’s Opera house, the Esplanade.
You have a great 360-degree view of Marina Bay, the upcoming Marina Sands integrated resort and the towering skyscrapers of the central business district.
Orgo (Details)
1 Esplanade Drive,Roof Terrace, The Esplanade
Daily: 5pm – 2am
6. Helipad
Helipad was opened last year and is in the heart of Singapore’s party district Clarke Quay. A little bit difficult to locate for first timers it is on top of the “Central Mall”, reachable via the car park elevator.
The Bar itself is nothing special but from the “Helipad” on top of the building you have a great view of Singapore’s most busy district, with chances to see all the action that’s going on on the opposite side of the river.
Helipad (Details)
6 Eu Tong Sen Street,#05-22 Soho@Central
Mon-Thu: 6pm – 1am; Fri-Sat: 6pm – 3am

Visited Orgo as definitely was not disappointed. The view was spectacular and very peaceful (maybe because it was Tuesday night). Their bartender’s slightly hit or miss – margaritas were good, martinis were terrible. Otherwise an excellent pick… Thanks.

Another noteworthy rooftop bar is #1. FABRIKA by CHIVAS 18: Located on the 17th floor of Klapson’s Boutique Hotel in Tanjung Pagar, (5 min from Tanjung Pagar MRT). This terrace bar offers guests radiant sunsets and views of Singapore’s CBD and port. House specials include the Chivas Sling and for food, Chivas-marinated meat skewers. This rooftop bar is very spacious compared to most other rooftop bars in Singapore. You have to enter via the car park elevator. Not easy to find the entrance at first.
