Bar

Manhattan

Golden Age New York at Conrad Singapore Orchard, with more than 100 oak barrels ageing drinks out of sight. Order a classic, then its barrel-aged twin, and give it the whole evening.

  • Orchard
  • S$30–60
Bar

Origin Bar

The Shangri-La's lobby bar rewrites its menu every couple of years, from pepper plantations to Lego. Go to hand the decision to the bartender; the room is handsome, not theatrical.

  • Orchard
  • S$30–60
Bar

Long Bar

The Singapore Sling's home, and a drink designed to pass for fruit juice. Walk-in only: go at 11am, mid-afternoon or late on a weekday, have one Sling and drop the shells.

  • Civic District
  • S$30–60
Bar

Live Twice

A Bukit Pasoh dive bar reborn as a 1960s Tokyo cocktail lounge: about 40 seats, original Falcon armchairs and a four-ingredient rule. A date bar; book the armchairs.

  • Bukit Pasoh
  • S$30–60
Bar

Gibson

Bukit Pasoh's ten-year-old martini bar, for a pair or a small group. Order the house Gibson, with pickled pomelo and a smoked quail egg, then the martini made for fries.

  • Bukit Pasoh
  • S$30–60
Bar

Jigger & Pony

The only Singapore bar in the 2026 world top 20 and Best Bar in Singapore again. Start with the yuzu whisky sour, read the menuzine, and check you've booked the right bar.

  • Tanjong Pagar
  • S$30–60
Bar

Native

No classic cocktails, only the region: Thai rum, Sri Lankan arrack, foraged herbs and, famously, ants. The Amoy Street bar for a curious pair, not a birthday crowd.

  • Chinatown
  • S$30–60
Bar

Nutmeg & Clove

The Purvis Street bar that tells Singapore's story in cocktails, now with drinks named after what you say when the bill comes. Bring the friend who thinks the Sling is the whole story.

  • Bugis
  • S$30–60
Bar

ATLAS

Parkview Square's Jazz Age lobby bar, for a date or a visitor who needs impressing. Let the staff choose your gin, look up at the tower, and leave the shorts at home after 5pm.

  • Bugis
  • S$30–60

Bars by mood

Guide

Bars for conversation

For a night of talking rather than shouting: grand rooms, bars with a local story, music or wine. Choose the mood, book one bar and stay put.
