Sago House
A hand-built Duxton Hill bar that writes six new cocktails on the window every week and wipes them the next. Order off the window; the Sesame Negroni is the one constant.
- Where: Tanjong Pagar
- Price: S$30–60
Smith Street Taps
A dozen-plus rotating craft taps at a hawker stall on the second floor of Chinatown Complex. Pint in one hand, satay from the Malay stall next door in the other.

Abode
A sixth-floor rooftop above Clarke Quay with a Marina Bay view, table lamps instead of a DJ and cocktails built on local flavours. The quiet one.
- Where: Clarke Quay
- Price: S$30–60
Gaudí Room
A cocktail room for about 20 behind the tapas tables at Carlitos, all mosaic and curved walls. Eat at Carlitos first, book or come early, and keep it for two.

- Price: S$30–60
The Champagnery
Walk through a focaccia deli and find the red door: a 60-seat lounge that treats champagne as a weeknight drink. Go late, start with a glass, and check Instagram for hours.

- Price: S$30–60
Writers Bar
Ngiam Tong Boon's other cocktail, the Million Dollar, in a book-lined corner of the Raffles lobby. The quieter drink at Raffles, and the one with the better story.

RPM by D.Bespoke
A Duxton Road listening bar with floor-to-ceiling vinyl, vintage JBLs and shochu where the whisky would usually be. For people who would rather listen than talk.

- Price: S$30–60
Bar Bon Funk
A natural-wine and cocktail bar upstairs at New Bahru, No.90 on Asia's 50 Best Bars' extended list in 2026, that still behaves like a neighbourhood bar. Go for a nightcap, not a big night.
- Where: River Valley
- Price: S$30–60
The Elephant Room
Cocktails built from Little India – a spice corner to smell, tequila with flower crab – and a lamb hotdog in a garlic ghee bun. No.58 on Asia’s 50 Best Bars’ extended list in 2026.
- Where: Tanjong Pagar
- Price: S$30–60
Mikawa Yakitori Bar
Siglap's nearest thing to an izakaya: more than 100 charcoal skewers, a whisky somen and a highball to cut the char. Go with friends who share, and book at weekends.
- Where: Siglap & Tanjong Katong
- Price: S$30–60
2am:dessertbar
Janice Wong's Holland Village bar where dessert is the whole evening, each plate with a suggested pairing, open until 2am. Go after dinner, not instead of it.
