While Singapore is a small country without much nature and greenery, our skyline is one of the most picturesque in the world. There’s a reason we’re the basis for “Crazy Rich Asians”, after all. What better way to channel your inner crazy rich Asian than a night out at one of the gorgeous rooftop bars littered around Singapore?
If you’re feeling like a baller for the end of the year or need to dazzle your date for a special occasion but have already been to KOMA once too many times, then we suggest you go out and paint the town red at one of these 22 snazzy rooftop bars or restaurants!
1. Smoke & Mirrors
If you prefer to marvel at the grandeur of the MBS building afar instead of taking in the sweeping views the distinctive landmark offers, Smoke & Mirrors will be the best place to take in a picturesque scenery composed of the sprawling greens of the Padang field in the foreground with a graduating background slowly building up from the Esplanade to the Singapore Flyer, then the rest of our towering skyline.
Since the bar is located in the National Gallery, their drinks menu derives a lot of inspiration from the moving pieces of artistry littered throughout the gallery. You can find a slew of artistically-presented drinks, ranging from the bubble-adorned Monochrome (S$25) to the tranquil and balanced Breaking Storm (S$26).

You can spend a day frolicking in Sentosa and taking the cable car over to Mount Faber, before sitting down to dinner with botanical-inspired cocktails and elegantly plated pasta like Mushroom Ragout with Smoked Duck (S$22).

With their tropical theme, you can expect quirky tiki bar-style drinks such as the Aaliya (S$27) which is an all-rounded blitz of fruity notes from passionfruit to lemon.

It’s a waste not to indulge in the best when you’re here with such a stellar view, so you can get your credit cards out and treat yourself to your best tai tai life with their Saturday High Tea (S$78/pax) or indulge in a bottle of French rosé — SKAI Bar prides itself on being the first Rosé Bar in the city, after all.

14. FIRE @ 1-ATICO
Found all the way up the top of ION Orchard, Fire doesn’t exactly fall under the “rooftop bars” category, but it’s still a nice place to catch up over some good food while going dizzy from the breathtaking views up at the pinnacle of Orchard.
More interestingly, Fire is one of the few places that serve up authentic Argentinian food in Singapore. With a rather affordable 3-course set lunch at S$58++, you can get a taste of that hearty Argentinian spirit with dishes driven by fresh produce from South America such as the Patagonia Red Prawns “Parilla” and Wood-fired Wagyu Hanging Tender. Pair your meal with an Argentine or Nikkei-inspired cocktail, and you’re all set.

Order a round of tapas-style bar bites, from fresh oysters to juicy sliders, along with some of their tiki-inspired cocktail creations. The pineapple and black tea-infused Serenitea is a comforting warm hug in a cup you won’t be able to get enough of.

The menu highlights lesser-known ingredients of the region, showcasing sleek cocktails and Mediterranean-inspired mezze plates perfect for sharing.
