Top verdicts
- CE LA VI: The most recognisable rooftop in Asia — directly above the MBS infinity pool. Redditors split on whether the view justifies the price, but it's a bucket-list experience.
- HighHouse: Singapore's newest sky-high contender. The 360-degree views from Level 63 are genuinely unbeatable right now.
- LeVeL33: Reddit's most-recommended “good value” rooftop pick. The world's highest urban craft brewery with serious Marina Bay views and a strict-but-fair dress code.
Singapore's rooftop bars range from SGD 15-40+ per cocktail, with LeVeL33 offering the best value and CE LA VI providing the most iconic experience. Dress codes are strictly enforced, so smart casual attire is recommended, especially during sunset hours on weekdays or the cooler months from November to January.
Singapore's rooftop bar scene has quietly become one of the best in Asia — and the most varied. You have the famous Marina Bay Sands skybar circuit (CE LA VI, LAVO, Spago), the CBD tower cluster (HighHouse, NOVA, 1-Arden, Altro Zafferano, Artemis Grill), and the waterfront classics (Southbridge, Kinki, Lantern, Mr. Stork).
We analysed 200+ Reddit posts and comments across r/askSingapore, r/singapore, r/SGNightLife, and r/solotravel — spanning 2020 to 2025. The consensus is clear: CE LA VI is the landmark experience, HighHouse and NOVA are the new hotness, and LeVeL33 is the best bang-for-buck option. The MBS venues are priced for the view, not the cocktail quality.
Dress code warning repeated across dozens of Reddit threads: Singapore rooftop bars take their dress codes seriously. LeVeL33 will turn you away in sandals or shorts. Plan accordingly.

How we built this list
We analysed 200+ Reddit posts across r/askSingapore, r/singapore, r/SGNightLife, r/solotravel, and r/SingaporeEats — spanning 2020 to 2025. Venues were cross-referenced with Google Places ratings and review counts. We weighted responses from Singapore residents and regular visitors more heavily than one-off tourist posts.
1CE LA VI Singapore
💰 SGD 25–35 per cocktail
📍 1 Bayfront Avenue, Tower 3 Level 57, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore 018971
📌 Google Maps →
Verdict: The most iconic rooftop bar in Asia — directly above the Marina Bay Sands infinity pool. The view is genuinely unrivalled; the cocktails are priced for the experience, not the quality. Go at sunset for the full effect.
Quick comparison
- Best for
- Bucket-list Marina Bay skyline views; first-night-in-Singapore celebration drinks
- Strengths
- 4.3★ from 9,979 Google reviews · Most recognisable rooftop in Asia · Unobstructed 57th-floor view over Marina Bay
- Limitations
- Very expensive · Long queues on weekends · Cocktails “nothing special for the price” per Reddit
- Price / value
- SGD 25–35 per cocktail · View justifies the premium for first-timers
- What to order
- The signature Singapore Sling (yes, it’s touristy, but the view makes it memorable) or any of the house cocktails. The food menu is surprisingly good for a sky bar — the wagyu sliders are worth ordering.
- Insider tip
- Book a table reservation to skip the walk-in queue. The outdoor SkyBar area (Level 57) has the best view; the indoor club section is for later in the night. Weekday lunchtimes are far calmer and the view is just as good.

💰 SGD 15–25 per pint or cocktail
📍 8 Marina Blvd, #33-01 Tower 1, Marina Bay Financial Centre, Singapore 018981
📌 Google Maps →
Verdict: Reddit’s most consistently recommended value-for-money rooftop. The world’s highest urban craft brewery with spectacular Marina Bay views. House-brewed lagers, stouts, ales, and wheat beers — all brewed on the 33rd floor. A serious dress code (no shorts, no sandals for men) keeps the crowd upmarket.
Quick comparison
- Best for
- Best value rooftop in Singapore; craft beer lovers; CBD after-work drinks with a view
- Strengths
- 4.4★ from 4,177 Google reviews · World’s highest urban craft brewery · Spectacular Marina Bay views · More affordable than MBS competitors

- Insider tip
- Happy hour runs on select weekdays — check the website. Dress code is strictly enforced. The terrace gets gorgeous at sunset when the F1 circuit lights up in the distance.

4LAVO Italian Restaurant & Rooftop Bar
Italian · MBS Level 57
💰 SGD 25–40 per cocktail
📍 10 Bayfront Avenue, Hotel Tower 1 Level 57, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore 018956
📌 Google Maps →
Verdict: The Italian-inflected MBS rooftop rival to CE LA VI. Reddit often compares the two — LAVO consistently gets the nod for better food and quieter conversations, CE LA VI for the more vibrant atmosphere. Both offer jaw-dropping views on the 57th floor.
Quick comparison
- Best for
- Romantic dinner with Marina Bay views; Italian food at altitude; couples who want ambiance over clubbing
- Strengths
- 4.3★ from 5,773 Google reviews · Excellent Italian food · Less loud than CE LA VI · Same stunning 57th-floor MBS view
- Limitations
- Very expensive · Reservations nearly essential on weekends
- Price / value
- SGD 25–40 per cocktail · Worth it for a special occasion
- What to order
- The truffle pizza is legendary at this altitude. Cocktail-wise, the LAVO Spritz (house take on the Aperol Spritz) and the Negroni are both executed well. The outdoor rooftop terrace is where you want to be — reserve a terrace table if possible.
- Insider tip
- Walk-ins are possible at the bar area but nearly impossible for terrace tables. Book via the website. The bar at LAVO has no reservation requirement — show up and grab a stool for the full view without the dinner commitment.

5Southbridge
Craft Cocktails · Boat Quay
Verdict: The best rooftop bar on the Singapore River — open-air, genuinely atmospheric, and more affordable than the Marina Bay heavyweights. The Boat Quay setting (shophouse backdrop, river below) is uniquely Singapore without the tourist-trap pricing.
Quick comparison
- Best for
- Intimate drinks on the Singapore River; neighbourhood bar vibe without sky-high prices; couples and small groups
- Strengths
- 4.5★ from 2,012 Google reviews · Open daily from 5pm · More relaxed dress code · Genuine Boat Quay atmosphere · Moderate pricing

- Price / value
- SGD 18–28 per cocktail · Excellent value for a quality rooftop experience
- What to order
- The house classic cocktails (Old Fashioned, Negroni) are reliably executed. The Singapore-inspired house cocktails rotate seasonally — ask what’s new. The views of the Singapore River and Clarke Quay are best from the front-facing bar seating.
- Insider tip
- Arrive early (5:30–6pm) to get front-row seating facing the river before the after-work crowd arrives. No reservation required but walk-in seating fills fast on Fridays.

💰 SGD 20–32 per cocktail
📍 80 Collyer Quay, The Fullerton Bay Hotel, Singapore 049326

8Mr. Stork
Rooftop Tepee Bar · Andaz Hotel
Verdict: Singapore’s most distinctive rooftop bar design — open-air tepee structures on the 39th floor of Andaz Singapore. The Bugis/Beach Road location gives you a different perspective on the city. Mentioned repeatedly on Reddit as a hidden gem compared to the MBS circuit.
Quick comparison
- Best for
- Unique rooftop design experience; off-the-MBS-tourist-trail alternative; dates
- Strengths
- 4.4★ from 1,361 Google reviews · Iconic tepee structures · Less crowded than MBS · Beautiful views north and east over Bugis and the sea

- No Marina Bay view · Bugis location less central than CBD bars
- Price / value
- SGD 20–32 per cocktail · Good value for the unique setting
- What to order
- The Mr. Stork Signature cocktails designed around the Andaz’s neighbourhood-inspired concept. The Bee’s Knees and any Singapore-botanical gin cocktails are well executed. The tepee structures are the draw — book early to secure one.
- Insider tip
- The tepees have limited seating and fill fast on weekends. Book via the Andaz website. The bar is quieter early in the week — Monday to Wednesday evenings feel intimate and uncrowded. Is it Mr Stork at the Hyatt? Reddit gets asked this often — it’s actually at Andaz (Hyatt brand).

9Kinki Restaurant + Bar

- Price / value
- SGD 18–28 per cocktail · Excellent value when food is included
- What to order
- The Japanese-inspired cocktails (sake-based, yuzu sours) are the standouts. For food, the sushi and the wagyu steak are consistently praised. The rooftop terrace at sunset is exceptional — the view of the Marina Bay waterfront from Customs House is one of the best ground-level perspectives in the city.
- Insider tip
- Lunch is quieter and the waterfront view is equally beautiful in the daytime. Book a terrace table for dinner — inside tables miss the view. The cocktail menu rotates seasonally with Japanese seasonal ingredients.

Verdict: Singapore’s newest landmark rooftop bar — 63 stories high, Pacific Coast-inspired cocktails, and a dramatic ASTRA star-shaped light installation.

121-Arden
Sustainable Garden Bar · CapitaSpring
Verdict: Singapore’s most unique rooftop concept — a living garden “Food Forest” atop CapitaSpring, with a bar that harvests ingredients from the rooftop garden itself. The sustainability concept is genuine, the views of the CBD are excellent, and the vibe is completely different from every other rooftop on this list.
Quick comparison
- Best for
- Garden-to-glass cocktail experience; unique concept; sustainability-minded drinkers; daytime visits
- Strengths

- Insider tip

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best rooftop bar in Singapore for views of Marina Bay?
CE LA VI at Marina Bay Sands Level 57 is the most iconic choice — it sits directly above the infinity pool and delivers the famous Singapore skyline panorama. HighHouse at One Raffles Place (Level 61–63) is now Singapore’s highest rooftop spot with 360-degree views of the entire city. LeVeL33 on the 33rd floor of Marina Bay Financial Centre gives you a slightly lower but equally spectacular Marina Bay view paired with house-brewed craft beer. For a quieter alternative with the same bay views, Altro Zafferano on Level 43 of Ocean Financial Centre is exceptional.
How much do drinks cost at Singapore rooftop bars?
Singapore rooftop bars are not cheap. Expect to pay SGD 18–35 per cocktail (roughly USD 13–26). Marina Bay Sands venues like CE LA VI and LAVO are on the higher end (SGD 25–40+). Hotel bars like Mr. Stork and Lantern sit in the SGD 20–32 range. Southbridge and LeVeL33 are relatively accessible, with drinks starting around SGD 15–18. Happy hour (usually 5–7pm) can bring prices down by SGD 5–8 at most venues. Budget around SGD 80–120 per person for a proper evening at a mid-tier rooftop bar.
Do Singapore rooftop bars have dress codes?
Yes — most upscale Singapore rooftop bars enforce smart casual dress codes. LeVeL33 is particularly strict (no open-toed sandals, no shorts, no t-shirts for men). CE LA VI and LAVO typically require smart casual (no flip flops, no singlets). Mr. Stork and Southbridge are slightly more relaxed but still expect neat attire. The safest approach: closed-toe shoes, collared shirt or smart blouse, no shorts. If in doubt, check the venue’s website before you go — turning up underdressed means you won’t get in.
When is the best time to visit Singapore rooftop bars?
Sunset (6:30–7:30pm) is the prime time — the light transforms the Marina Bay skyline and the temperature drops to a more comfortable level. Singapore’s heat and humidity can make rooftop bars uncomfortable in the middle of the day. Weekday evenings (Monday–Thursday) are far less crowded than weekends. If you’re going to CE LA VI or LAVO on a Saturday night, book well in advance — walk-ins are nearly impossible. The cooler months (November–January) are the most comfortable for outdoor rooftop bars.
Are there rooftop bars in Singapore outside of Marina Bay and the CBD?
Yes, though the Marina Bay and CBD cluster has the most famous views. Mr. Stork is at Andaz Singapore in Bugis/Beach Road area. Las Palmas Rooftop Bar is at the Courtyard Marriott in Novena (33rd floor, great for a quieter, local crowd). Moon Rooftop Bar is in Tanjong Pagar, popular with the after-work financial district crowd. Lady Wu sits in Boat Quay and has a more accessible, intimate feel than the Marina Bay heavyweights. Kinki Restaurant + Bar at Customs House also offers open-air waterfront dining with Marina Bay views.
Which Singapore rooftop bar has the best happy hour deals?
LeVeL33 consistently gets praised on Reddit for its happy hour on house-brewed craft beers and cocktails — check their current promotions on the website. Southbridge at Boat Quay often runs early-evening specials. For the best value-to-view ratio, LeVeL33 happy hour is hard to beat: world’s highest urban craft brewery, Marina Bay views, and prices significantly lower than MBS-level venues. Always check current promotions on venue websites as they change seasonally.
