Sure, I agree our public transport could run later into the night but beyond that, I’d consider Singapore to be a paradise for seasoned party-goers and night owls.

I’m unashamedly one of those who love to party the night away every once in a while and it seems that I’ve found a new spot for drinking and dancing!

Enter NOVA — Singapore’s highest panoramic rooftop bar that sits above 282 metres above street level. NOVA steps in to fill the shoes of the beloved (and dearly missed!) 1-Altitude at One Raffles Place, determined to live up to its iconic predecessor.

After you’ve ascended to Level 63, you’ll be greeted by the breathtaking views of the Singapore skyline. Isn’t it strange how we’re always amazed by the beauty of our own city, even though we see it every day?

Well, to be fair, it’s not every day we get to admire it from 63 floors up!

The main attraction at NOVA is ASTRA. You won’t miss it as this massive star-shaped structure by Kuala Lumpur-based artist — Jun Ong — instantly catches your eye. Plus, it sits just above the DJ booth.

Which reminds me — you’re probably wondering about the music here, right?

While you can look forward to curated programs weekly, the music is generally an eclectic mix of House (my personal fave!), Afro Beats, Urban Groove, and World Beats — all delivered through a state-of-the-art sound system.

Some of these programs feature popular artists like local darling Jasmine Sokko and Wildealer, who has performed in iconic venues in Ibiza and Amsterdam.

However, at the end of the day, NOVA is more of a sophisticated bar than a full-fledged nightclub. So, expect the food and drinks to be thoughtfully crafted and served to a certain degree.

Before hitting the dance floor, fuel up with its culinary offerings showcasing a blend of Asian and Western flavours. Think along the lines of Tom Yum Fries, Indonesian-style Noodles, and NOVA Pau (which, like you, I’m curious to try).

Pair these delicacies with signature cocktails like the Mango Sticky Highball, Triple LimeSling, and Roselle.

If you’re ready to elevate your nightlife game (literally), you know where to go.

You’d get asked “are we scheduled for a fitting today?” when you step into the unassuming shopfront, before getting ushered into the fitting room which slides open to reveal a secret room like in that tailor scene in Kingsman.

Inside, you’d find the true guise of Taylor Adam — a swanky speakeasy bar dressed up with a old-time suaveness and a quaint British flair that will help you charm the socks off of your date.

So just kick back and lounge in a comfy spot of the bar then order a drink, or ten — the drinks are specially concocted by mixology expert Andrew Pang who is also the Beam Suntory Regional Brand Ambassador.

For the most immersive experience, Andrew has curated an interesting medley of 12 drinks (all priced at S$22.80) for Taylor Adam which were tailored on tales of Singapore’s dealings with countries all over the UK and Commonwealth.

Suntory fans would feel right at home here because there will be quite a few Suntory spirits in the mix. An easy-to-drink tipple that uses their popular Roku gin is the Pulau Sentosa (S$22.80) which puts a fun twist on the iconic Singapore Sling using Roku gin, Aperol, coconut syrup, and sparkling wine.

Those looking for something wacky and unapologetically British can order the adventurously named LSD (S$22.80) which takes some vibrant inspirations from The Beatles hit song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”.

If you’re a fan of classics, you can find many spruced up reimagining of classics at Taylor Adam such as the New York, New York (S$22.80) which is a play on the Manhattan, and a Vesper Martini (S$22.80) that utilises the elegance of 2 of Suntory’s signature spiritws in Roku Gin and Haku Vodka.

For those wondering if the tailor shop is just for show — no, you can actually make an appointment to be measured for a bespoke outfit there. So, the next time you need to slip away for a bit, just tell your colleagues you have to go get a suit fitted — your “fitting” will be quite an invigorating morale booster.

You can make a reservation here.
