Best Bars in Singapore: Where to Drink, Sip, and Celebrate!

Singapore’s drinking scene is as diverse as the city itself. Your evening might begin with a cocktail in hand, overlooking the skyline at sunset and end with a whisky flight in a specialised bar in the city. Whether you prefer a perfectly crafted cocktail, rare whisky, locally brewed beer, or something experimental, the best bars in Singapore offer plenty of reasons to head out for a drink.

Cocktail lovers have plenty of venue choices for a night out. Singapore has built a reputation for creative bars where bartenders experiment with local flavours, unusual ingredients, artisanal spirits, and inventive techniques. Look beyond the drinks menu, and you’ll find plenty of personality, too, from intimate prohibition-inspired hideaways and sophisticated hotel bars to energetic venues where the music gets louder as the evening unfolds. Whatever you're in the mood for, you will find it here in Singapore.

If spirits are your preferred choice, there are plenty of bars that house hundreds of labels from around the world. Sample rare and limited-edition pours by the glass, explore barrel-aged spirits, or leave it to the in-house specialist to introduce you to something new. Visit whisky libraries like Quaich Bar Avant-garde and The Writing Club or opt for gin speciality bars like Cin Cin. For those who prefer a laidback cold brew in a relaxed setting, Singapore’s growing craft beer scene sees a handful of bars with local and international beers on tap. Chope a table at Upward Taproom Craft Beer Bar for rotating taps, giving you something new to try with each visit.

One of the many perks of being in Singapore is the views. Some of Singapore’s best rooftop bars make the city part of the experience; from city skylines to stunning sunset backdrops, they play a supporting role that completes the bar experience. Head up before dusk to watch the skyline change as the sun sets, then stay as Singapore lights up for the night. From sleek hotel rooftops to relaxed sky-high watering holes, these spots are particularly good for date nights, celebrations and sunset drinks.

While the promise of picture-worthy views and a great drink might get you through the door, the best bars in Singapore have even more to offer. Think live jazz music, DJ sets, creative bites, and vibes worth staying for.

Ready for a drink? We’ve rounded up our favourite bars across the island with plenty of variety. Whether you’re looking for an after-work tipple, a hidden speakeasy, or a fun night out with friends, this list has everything you need. So, Chope a table and have a good time!
