How this list is ordered: listings marked “Featured” are paid Premium placements; other listings are ordered by plan (Standard, then Basic) and then by our editors’ ranking. “Best overall” is always our editors’ pick. Links to businesses are provided for reference.
Singapore’s rooftop bars range from Level 70 sky lounges to low-slung terraces on the Singapore River. We compared eight on view, drinks, price and atmosphere, from the postcard view at Marina Bay Sands to sea-facing sunsets on Sentosa.
Two old favourites have closed, so this list is up to date: Smoke & Mirrors’ National Gallery rooftop is now Milli, and 1-Altitude has moved from Raffles Place to Sentosa.

Best rooftop bars in Singapore: what Reddit says
Searching for “best rooftop bar singapore reddit”? Local Reddit threads on r/singapore are a good way to hear unfiltered opinions from people who live in Singapore — but recommendations are scattered across many posts and are often years old.
How to use Reddit alongside this list:
- Search the subreddit for a business’s name to read recent experiences, good and bad.
- Check the date — prices, staff and opening hours change, so favour threads from the last 12 months.
- Look for specifics (what was paid, how long it took, what was done) rather than one-word recommendations.
- Then compare with the prices, hours and contact details on this page, which our editors keep up to date.
