The 10 Best Rooftop Bars in Singapore

Rooftop bars in Singapore with skyline views, strong drinks and reliable settings for sunset or late-night plans.

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

Our verdict: LeVeL33 is the best rooftop bar in Singapore right now - best all-round view, drinks and food package. CÉ LA VI Singapore runs it closest.

Singapore's best rooftop bars are not just about height. The stronger choices combine clear skyline sightlines, a drinks programme worth staying for, sensible service flow and enough shelter or indoor space to handle sudden rain. Marina Bay views remain the headline, but Orchard, Bugis, Novena and Boat Quay rooftops each offer a different angle on the city.

For this ranking, we prioritised rooftop and sky-high bars where the view is central to the experience, not just a backdrop. The list favours venues with established reputations, current operations, official booking channels and consistent appeal for dates, visiting friends, client drinks and special occasions.

A Marina Bay microbrewery restaurant pouring house-brewed beers with skyline views.

THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
LeVeL33 is not the most adventurous tap list in Singapore, but it is hard to beat for setting. The in-house brewing gives the beer programme a real point of difference, and the Marina Bay view makes it a strong choice for visitors or special occasions. It is also more food-driven than most taprooms, which broadens its appeal. The trade-off is price and atmosphere: it can feel like a premium restaurant first and a craft beer haunt second.
Why LeVeL33 made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
Its on-site brewing, polished service and unmatched Marina Bay location make it Singapore's strongest premium craft beer and dining option.
LeVeL33 is a microbrewery, bar and restaurant on the 33rd floor of Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 1. It brews beer on-site and positions itself around freshly brewed craft beers, skyline views and a dining menu that uses beer-brewing elements. The venue is open daily and offers a more premium experience than a typical taproom, with house beers, brewery tours and a full restaurant format. Its setting makes it especially useful for business hosting, visitors or drinkers who want a Singapore view with their beer rather than a casual neighbourhood bar.

CÉ LA VI Singapore
88/100
An iconic Marina Bay Sands rooftop bar with panoramic skyline views and nightlife energy.

“The city's most recognisable rooftop bar experience.” - our editors
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
CÉ LA VI is the classic Singapore rooftop choice for visitors, celebrations and anyone who wants the Marina Bay Sands moment without overexplaining the plan. The views are immediately impressive, the music programming keeps the place lively, and the venue has the scale to handle lunch, sundowners and clubby late nights. It is not the quietest or most intimate rooftop in town, and prices reflect the address. Go for the spectacle, the skyline and the sense of occasion.
Why CÉ LA VI Singapore made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
Few rooftops are as strongly associated with Singapore's skyline. It remains a polished, high-energy choice with day-to-night flexibility and an unbeatable landmark location.
CÉ LA VI Singapore sits atop Marina Bay Sands and brings together a sky bar, restaurant and club lounge in one of the city's most recognisable rooftop settings. The official Singapore venue highlights panoramic rooftop bar views, Modern Asian dining, resident DJs, brunches and recurring nightlife programming. It opens from noon till late daily, making it suitable for daytime visitors as well as late-night plans. The Sky Bar is the most view-led part of the experience, with Marina Bay, Gardens by the Bay and the CBD skyline all part of the draw.

Smoke & Mirrors
87/100
A National Gallery rooftop cocktail bar with civic district and Marina Bay views.

$$$ price range
“Best for cocktails with a view.” - our editors
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Smoke & Mirrors is the rooftop bar to pick when cocktails matter as much as the skyline. The view is lower than the Marina Bay Sands rooftops, but it feels more connected to the city - you see the Padang, civic buildings and bay in one sweep. The drinks are expressive and the setting works especially well for dates or small groups. The honest catch is that alfresco tables are limited, weather-dependent and often come with minimum spends.
Why Smoke & Mirrors made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It offers one of Singapore's best combinations of serious cocktails, architectural setting and open-air city views from a culturally significant address.
Smoke & Mirrors is perched on the rooftop of National Gallery Singapore, giving it a distinctive vantage point over the Civic District, Padang and Marina Bay skyline. The bar is known for indoor-outdoor seating, a sculptural bar and a cocktail programme that leans creative rather than generic. Its official booking details note outdoor table minimum spends, weather-based table allocation and an 18-plus entry policy after 7pm. The venue has also appeared on Asia's 51-100 Best Bars list, adding drinks credibility to its already strong view credentials.

Lantern

A polished Fullerton Bay rooftop bar overlooking Marina Bay and the city skyline.

$$$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Lantern is one of the easiest rooftop bars to recommend when the brief is polished, scenic and not too chaotic. The Fullerton Bay setting gives it a strong sense of place, and the poolside layout makes the skyline feel close without needing the height of a skyscraper. Drinks and bites are premium hotel-bar territory, so value is not its main argument. What it does very well is comfort, service and a classic Marina Bay evening atmosphere.
Why Lantern made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It remains one of the most reliable hotel rooftops for Marina Bay views, with a comfortable poolside setting and consistently polished hospitality.
Lantern is the rooftop bar at The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore, named after the historic Red Lantern Pier. The bar is framed by an infinity lap pool and landscaping, with panoramic views across Marina Bay and the city skyline. Its official page lists daily operating hours from afternoon into late night, smart-casual dress code, resident DJ performances and recurring experiences such as ladies' night and Brazilian Funk BBQ Sundays. The mood is hotel-polished rather than rowdy, making it a reliable pick for guests who want comfort, service and front-row bay views.

Mr. Stork
84/100
An alfresco Andaz rooftop bar with 360-degree city views and teepee-hut seating.
Level 39, Andaz Singapore, 5 Fraser Street, Singapore 189354
+65 9008 7707 mr.stork@andaz.com hyatt.com
$$$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Mr. Stork feels more relaxed than many high-rise hotel bars, largely because the alfresco layout and teepee huts make it feel like a rooftop garden. The 360-degree view is genuinely useful - you get Bugis, Kampong Glam, the CBD and Marina Bay from different angles. It is a good date or small-group venue, especially at sunset. The trade-off is that Singapore weather matters here, and the coveted huts are not something to leave to chance.
Why Mr. Stork made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It gives Singapore a different rooftop perspective, with open-air seating, recognisable teepee huts and wide city views away from the usual Marina Bay cluster.
Mr. Stork is the alfresco rooftop bar at Andaz Singapore, located on level 39 above the Bugis and Kampong Glam area. The bar is built around 360-degree city views, tropical landscaping and 10 teepee huts that give small groups semi-private seating. Its official Hyatt listing describes it as a rooftop drinking and dining spot, with smart casual dress code and evening opening hours that run later on Fridays and Saturdays. Compared with Marina Bay rooftops, the perspective is more neighbourhood-to-skyline, which makes it a strong alternative for sunset drinks.

SKAI Bar
83/100
A level 70 sky bar with sweeping Marina Bay views, cocktails and late-night bites.
2 Stamford Road, Level 70, Singapore 178882
+65 6431 6156 skai@swissotel.com skai.sg
$$$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
SKAI Bar is for people who want altitude, comfort and a clear Marina Bay panorama without worrying about humidity or rain. The view from level 70 is the star, especially around blue hour when the skyline starts to light up. The drinks are polished and the room suits anniversaries, client drinks and visitors who appreciate a refined setting. The trade-off is that it feels more like a luxury sky lounge than an open-air rooftop party.
Why SKAI Bar made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
Its height, central location and sweeping bay views make it one of Singapore's strongest high-rise bar options, even without an outdoor terrace.
SKAI Bar is part of SKAI at Swissôtel The Stamford, located on level 70 with panoramic Marina Bay views. The venue describes itself as one of Singapore's highest bars, offering signature cocktails, premium spirits and elevated bar bites above the city skyline. It opens daily in the evening and sits alongside SKAI's contemporary grill restaurant, which gives guests the option to pair drinks with a fuller dining experience. The setting is sleek and enclosed rather than breezy rooftop, but the height and view quality make it a major sky-bar contender.

Spago Bar & Lounge
82/100
Wolfgang Puck's MBS sky-high bar and lounge beside the Sands SkyPark pool area.
10 Bayfront Avenue, Sands SkyPark, Tower 2, Level 57, Singapore 018956
marinabaysands.com
$$$$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Spago Bar & Lounge is the more composed Marina Bay Sands rooftop option. It works well when you want the height, the address and the view, but not the full party charge of CÉ LA VI. The Wolfgang Puck name gives the food and service a recognisable premium frame, and the lounge format is useful for pre-dinner drinks or a slower night. The trade-off is that the atmosphere can feel resort-formal, and it is priced accordingly.
Why Spago Bar & Lounge made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It deserves a place for combining Marina Bay Sands rooftop views with a respected international dining name and a more relaxed lounge mood.
Spago Bar & Lounge is Wolfgang Puck's rooftop bar and lounge at Marina Bay Sands, positioned on level 57 within the Sands SkyPark precinct. It offers a polished California-inspired setting with cocktails, wines, lounge plates and access to one of Singapore's most famous rooftop environments. The draw is less nightclub energy and more resort-style glamour, with skyline views from a quieter side of the Marina Bay Sands rooftop ecosystem. It suits guests who want the MBS view but prefer a more dining-led and lounge-like experience than a club-forward rooftop.

Kinki Restaurant + Bar
81/100
A bold Japanese restaurant and rooftop bar at Customs House with bay views.
70 Collyer Quay, #02-02 Customs House, Singapore 049323
kinki.com.sg
$$$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Kinki is a reliable pick when the group wants Marina Bay views but not a stiff hotel-bar mood. The rooftop has personality - graffiti, music, playful cocktails and a Japanese food base downstairs if the night turns into dinner. It feels more casual and energetic than many premium rooftops, which is part of the appeal. The trade-off is that service and comfort can feel busier during peak nights, and it is more fun-forward than refined.
Why Kinki Restaurant + Bar made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It brings a livelier, more casual edge to the Marina Bay rooftop scene while still delivering strong water and skyline views from Customs House.
Kinki Restaurant + Bar is located at Customs House on Collyer Quay, with a restaurant below and a rooftop bar above. Its official site describes bold Japanese cuisine, East-meets-West rooftop cocktails, murals and views across Marina Bay and the Raffles Place financial district. The rooftop comes alive especially from Wednesday to Saturday with sundown DJ sets and a livelier social crowd. Compared with more polished hotel rooftops, Kinki has a more playful, urban personality, which makes it a good choice for groups who want bay views without a hushed atmosphere.

1-Atico Lounge & Bar

A sky-high Orchard lounge and bar with panoramic views from ION Orchard.
2 Orchard Turn, Levels 55 & 56, Singapore 238801
+65 8028 1489 enquiry@1-atico.sg 1-atico.sg
$$$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
1-Atico is the strongest Orchard-side rooftop-style option for people who want height without heading to Marina Bay. The view from ION is broad and satisfying, and the multi-concept setup means you can move between drinks, Nikkei flavours and Argentinian asado in one destination. It feels polished and occasion-ready. The trade-off is that the experience is more high-rise lounge than breezy rooftop bar, and navigating the dedicated lift access takes a little planning.
Why 1-Atico Lounge & Bar made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It adds geographic variety to the list with serious height, strong Orchard accessibility and a flexible lounge-to-dinner format across two upper floors.
1-Atico is a multi-concept dining destination on levels 55 and 56 of ION Orchard, bringing together Atico Lounge & Bar, FIRE and FLNT. The Lounge & Bar is the drinks-led part of the venue, shifting from high tea by day to tapas and cocktails by night. Its official site highlights skyline cocktails, panoramic views and access through the ION Art gallery lift lobby. The Orchard location gives it a different outlook from the Marina Bay-heavy field, with a view over central Singapore that works well for shopping-day endings and dressed-up evenings.

Southbridge
79/100
A fully alfresco Boat Quay rooftop bar with 360-degree city and river views.
80 Boat Quay, Rooftop, Level 5, Singapore 049868
+65 6877 6965 info@southbridge.sg southbridge.sg
$$ price range
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Southbridge is proof that a rooftop bar does not need to be 50 floors up to have a memorable view. The Boat Quay perch gives you the river, civic district and CBD in a more intimate frame, and the fully alfresco setup makes it feel properly open-air. It is best for oysters, bubbles and easygoing evening drinks. The trade-off is exposure to weather and a smaller, less glossy setup than the hotel rooftops.
Why Southbridge made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It earns its place as a lower-rise independent with real rooftop character, a central riverfront setting and one of the more relaxed alfresco experiences in town.
Southbridge is a fully alfresco rooftop bar on level 5 of a refurbished heritage shophouse at Boat Quay. Its official site describes 360-degree views spanning Parliament House, Marina Bay Sands and Raffles Place, with a chic but unpretentious bar-dining atmosphere. The entrance is from South Bridge Road along Elgin Bridge, and the venue opens daily from 5pm till midnight with a 21-and-above age policy. It is lower-rise than the skyscraper rooftops in this list, but the riverfront position gives it a distinctive, close-to-the-city charm.
