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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Coffee and cake in a 1930s RAF bungalow in Seletar by day, a garden bar by night, dogs welcome at the café. The easy way into the black-and-white enclave; book the half you want.
Peranakan rice dumplings from a family business started under a banyan tree in 1945, sold from a 1928 shophouse with a heritage gallery upstairs. Buy the dumplings, then climb the stairs.
