Half the fun of visiting a city is checking out its nightlife, and in Singapore there are plenty of fabulous bars vying for your business. From cozy wine bars, to staggering views, to beachside cocktails, it was a tough choice to narrow it down to ten - but here are our current top ten bars in Singapore (like Singapore's nightlife scene, it's constantly changing).
It's all about roof-top drinking with a view in Singapore at the moment, and many bars on the list follow this trend. Number one is the current spot to see and be seen, with undoubtedly the best view from any bar in the city - Ku De Ta. This restaurant, bar, pool, restaurant and dance club in-one, attracts the beautiful people, so be sure to dress for the occasion.
If you have a head for heights, then be sure to check out 1-altitude - the world's highest al-fresco bar. Other roof bars on the list, albeit with slightly more modest altitudes, include Club Street's Club Skybar, old favourite Loof and current hotspot Lantern, which boasts fabulous views across the Marina Bay. Former favourite for sundowners with a view is the New Asia Bar - it might not be as on trend as some of the newcomers, but its views are still staggering and at least you can enjoy your lychee martini in air-conditioned comfort.
To escape the bustle of the city altogether, then check out our three off-the-beaten track choices: One Rochester, for cozy cocktails amongst the tropical garden foliage; Tanjong Beach Club for a seaside tipple and chill-out tunes; or Speakeasy for an intimate bottle of red.
