Quick answer
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.

Top verdicts
- CE LA VI Singapore: Sky deck access is separate from bar entry — pay the deck fee first or buy a cocktail at the bar to skip the deck queue.
- HighHouse: Open until 1am most nights and reservations work better than walk-ins; the doorman is selective about denim and sneakers.
- LeVeL33: Bar prices include the view — but the beer flight is still the cheapest way to spend an hour up there.
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).

- Price / value

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 iconic choice. HighHouse at One Raffles Place (Level 61-63) is Singapore's highest rooftop with 360-degree views. LeVeL33 pairs house-brewed craft beer with spectacular Marina Bay views. For a quieter option, Altro Zafferano on Level 43 of Ocean Financial Centre is exceptional.
How much do drinks cost at Singapore rooftop bars?
Expect SGD 18-35 per cocktail (USD 13-26). Marina Bay Sands venues like CE LA VI and LAVO are SGD 25-40+. Southbridge and LeVeL33 start around SGD 15-18. Happy hour brings prices down by SGD 5-8. Budget around SGD 80-120 per person for a mid-tier rooftop bar evening.
Do Singapore rooftop bars have dress codes?
Yes. LeVeL33 is strict (no open-toed sandals, shorts, or t-shirts for men). CE LA VI and LAVO require smart casual. The safest approach: closed-toe shoes, collared shirt or smart blouse, no shorts.
When is the best time to visit Singapore rooftop bars?
Sunset (6:30-7:30pm) is prime time. Weekday evenings are far less crowded. For CE LA VI or LAVO on Saturday nights, book well in advance. November to January offers the most comfortable outdoor weather.

Which Singapore rooftop bar has the best happy hour?
LeVeL33 consistently gets praised on Reddit for happy hour on house-brewed craft beers. 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 far lower than MBS venues.
