Rooftop bars seem to be the next hip thing in Singapore. Most of the big names in the industry are leading the way. These rooftop bars are not only good for a night-out but also offer a great view of the city’s skyline. With skyscrapers dotting the night sky, these bars present an awesome view. Contrary to sit in the AC lounges, these places offer open air fun coupled with good ambiance.
The 5 truly top-trumped Rooftop Bars for Singapore Chinese New Year!(Jump directly to the bars)
- Why You should watch the CNY Fireworks from here instead:
- The view from these bars is truly top-trumped on Chinese New Year. The world knows how Chinese celebrate New Year and how gala events mark the night. With exquisite fireworks display, these bars are a hot-spot for the rich and the famous. Special offers lure more crowds onto the rooftops. The firework continues for about 10-12 minutes and is truly a spectacular view from these spots.
1. Orgo
This is the new bar at Esplanade and is already at the top spot. Being located on the top of the Esplanade Theatre, this spot is already a prime location. The food is great too and drinks can be served both inside and outside. The inner environment is fantastic with good music settings. But I would suggest a drink under the stars. There are special events held on New Year which just add to the fun.

Located atop the Scarlet hotel, this is also a great place to view the Chinese New Year. The place is not that large but is well designed. The architecture is great and the service is good too. Almost all the major champagnes are available and there’s also a restaurant alongside. The terrace gives a breathtaking view of the Singapore skyline.

3. New Asia Bar
This place is just atop the Swissotel Hotel. The hotel is already a premier destination in Singapore and this rooftop bar is like a cherry on the cake. The place is great and surprisingly, it is never filled up. You can easily get a table even on a busy day. The terrace is huge and the view is spectacular. The most noticing thing about the bar is that they have blended the outside with the inside. On Chinese New Year, special events are held and it is a favorite among the youth due to great music.

Memories Are Forever
These bars are truly the best roof-top bars Singapore has to offer. And you need an event like the Chinese New Year to truly enjoy these exotic locations. I would suggest that you instantly book a spot in these bars if you happen to be in Singapore around New Year. Though, the fireworks last for about 10 minutes only, but the moments are forever etched in your memories.
