Nightlife in Singapore
A night out in Singapore is mostly a walk between rooms: shophouse bars in Chinatown, riverside tables at Boat Quay, rooftops over the Marina Bay skyline and music rooms in Kampong Gelam. Small bars take bookings and some clubs have dress codes, so check before you go. Previews stay on this site, with no charge.

Questions · Reviewed October 2026
Where can I find a rooftop bar in Singapore?
Lantern at Fullerton Bay is our pick: a rooftop pool bar on the water, more hotel bar than club, so book a slot before you go. For more height, CE LA VI SkyBar is 57 floors up at Marina Bay Sands, and its cover includes one house pour. On Sentosa, 1-Altitude Coast is an infinity pool bar on a hotel roof, looking over Palawan.

Which Singapore streets are best for a bar crawl?
Chinatown is the easiest place for one, with shophouse bars climbing Ann Siang Hill and Club Street. Do one lap of the hill before you pick a door, and skip the loudest one. Duxton Hill is a smaller, quieter hill of bars in conserved shophouses, and Keong Saik Road is a good place to finish. By the river, drink one street back from Boat Quay.
Where can I hear live music in Singapore?
Blu Jaz Cafe, off Bali Lane in Kampong Gelam, is the dependable room for live jazz. Timbre is the place for local bands and beer, though its rooms have moved over the years, so check where it's playing. The Esplanade Outdoor Theatre puts on concerts most weekends with the bay behind the performers, and you bring a mat to sit on.
Which Singapore cocktail bars are worth booking?
Book ahead at 28 HongKong Street, an unmarked speakeasy, and at Native, a three-storey shophouse bar with few seats. There's no sign outside 28, so look for the number. Bar Stories on Haji Lane has no menu: you name a spirit or a mood and the bartender makes a drink to match. For gin, ATLAS Bar in Parkview Square is built around an eight-metre tower of it.
