Three views, no taxis, and the rooftop with the latest closing time saved for last.
Three views and no taxi, for friends or a work crowd with something to celebrate, Monday to Saturday. The compromise is the noise: this is sharing plates and a loud table, not a quiet dinner for two. Start at LeVeL33 around 5.30pm, while there is still light on the water.
LeVeL33. A brewery 33 floors above the bay, with twelve tanks, two copper kettles and a Guinness record to its name. It goes first because it closes earliest of the three, at 11pm; if the weather turns, ask for an indoor table.
Kinki Restaurant + Bar, Customs House. A Japanese restobar with a kintsugi lift and a rooftop sprayed by the artist ANTZ. Dinner runs Monday to Saturday, which is what rules out Sundays for this plan, and sharing plates suit the place. Its Saturday bottomless deal is a brunch, so it isn't part of this evening.
Lantern, The Fullerton Bay Hotel. The pool-framed rooftop with a backstory older than the skyline around it, and the latest close of the three: 1am Sunday to Thursday, 2am on Fridays, Saturdays and eves of public holidays. End here as the group thins and the drinks slow down, dressed for a hotel rooftop; this is the stop for photos.
All three sit on the bay's financial edge, close enough to walk between in the evening air (the one time of day Marina Bay is walkable without a towel).
