The 15 Best Bars in Singapore

Discover the best bars in Singapore.

Reviewed by our editors · Updated July 2026 · How we rank

Our verdict: Native is the best bar in Singapore right now - ants, jackfruit rum, local herbs - and it all works. Nutmeg & Clove runs it closest.

Singapore is one of the world's three great cocktail cities, and the proof is on the Asia's 50 Best list every year. The bars ranked here aren't just award collectors - they're rooms where the drink that arrives matches the reputation that preceded it.

Prices run S$25–S$30 a cocktail. Every bar on this list takes walk-ins at the bar counter itself, which is usually the best seat in the house anyway.

Their commitment to creating bespoke experiences for each guest sets a new benchmark in Singapore's cocktail scene.
D.Bespoke is a Japanese-style cocktail bar on Bukit Pasoh Road, known for a quiet, formal drinking experience shaped around the guest rather than a fixed mainstream cocktail list. The bar was founded by Japanese bartender Daiki Kanetaka, and its format is often compared with Ginza bars: counter seating, detailed service, and drinks prepared after a conversation about preferences. Coverage of the bar notes its discreet shopfront, long bar counter, leather seating and focus on bespoke cocktails, rare whiskies and classic technique. It is a suitable pick for drinkers who want a slower, more personal bar experience in the Tanjong Pagar and Keong Saik area, rather than a loud party venue.

Bars in Singapore - your questions

What is the best cocktail bar in Singapore?

Jigger & Pony, on current form: a fixture at the top of Asia's 50 Best Bars, with classic cocktails, warm service and a menu that reads like a magazine. Manhattan and Native are both close behind with very different personalities.

How much do cocktails cost in Singapore's top bars?

S$25–S$30 before service and GST at this level. Most bars run a daily happy hour or a bartender's-choice option that softens the bill.

Do I need a reservation at these bars?

Recommended Thursday–Saturday, essential for tables of four or more. Solo drinkers and pairs can usually walk into a counter seat before 7pm.
