The party band is amazing and tempts you to dance the night away with their groovy music. The cocktails are amazing, and my favorite is the Singapore Sling here or the Altitude Affair. There are light bites to enjoy and the selection is quite good. After a drink and dance the Pizzas from their pizza bar is worth a taste.
This place is one my favourites as it is just across from my office and holds special memories as my first date with my Fiancée in Singapore was in this bar.

At the rooftop of the most iconic building in Singapore, Marina bay sands. While all the bars provide the view of Singapore with marina bay sands at its highlight, Ce La Vi lets you enjoy the view from MBS which is very refreshing and fun. The view from this bar at tower 3 Marina Bay Sands is simply spectacular.
There is a fine dining Asian restaurant with complex flavours and a widespread of options. The bar and club lounge is fun featuring best of the DJ’s and dance numbers. The view from behind the bar, when you head to the washroom is mind blowing, as you can enjoy the view of the sea, and the gardens by the bay as well.

Ladies night is on Wednesday for an hour from 8-9 PM where you have free flow of drinks; however, good of you do not know your drinks yet.
Elegant and stylish, Lantern is a pretty rooftop bar atop the Fullerton Bay Hotel. It is not a high rise rooftop bar like the others, but the view of the waterfront bay and the mesmerizing Singapore skyline is enthralling. The bar carries the grace and the luxury of the Fullerton hotel which houses it.
One of the recommendations I want to make for the place is there flatbread pizza which I simply love and the vanilla ice cream, generally given three scoops with some fresh fruits and tastes like cream and is so light. The music is light and the place has a romantic ambiance to it. The place is perfect for a relaxed evening or a special date night.
4. Level 33
Another one of the popular rooftop bars in Singapore is Level 33. It is also the highest brewery in the world.
Address: 8 Marina Boulevard #33-01, Marina Bay Financial Centre
Timings: 11:30AM – 02:00AM daily
Entry Fees: No entry charges but arrive early or book a table in advance if you want to sit outside and enjoy the views from there.
I am not aware of any ladies night at this bar.
The highest brewery in the world, located at the 33rd floor of the Marina bay Financial Centre in the central Singapore where most of the financial offices are located. This place really caters for the beer lovers as at any time there are 5-6 craft beers to choose from. At 156 metres above the ground, the sweeping 180 degree views from Level 33 are simply stunning, making it a perfect place to enjoy a chilled glass of craft beer.
They do have cocktails and wines but the beer is what they specialize in. All Singapore’s landmarks like Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, the Flyer and the rest of the CBD’s skyline are visible when you sit outside in the rooftop bar. The food is rustic in nature and goes with your beer. Selected few vegetarian options are available.
5. Altro Zafferano
If you are looking for one of the rooftop bars in Singapore with an amazing view of the city’s skyline, I would suggest heading to Altro Zafferano. The terrace lounge here is a very cozy place to be. Think of a nice canopy that is formed by over large umbrellas and accentuated with all kinds of greenery.
As the night heads in, the dim lights that are used really set the mood. Plus there is a deck with DJs who play some great music. Mind you, these events aren’t everyday so you would have to check their schedule before you visit.
But even if the DJs are not in the house, you will find that it is one of the best roof top bars in Singapore. Oh and while you are there, make sure to raise a glass of wine to the cityscape. It may be hard to narrow down your choice though because Altro Zafferano has over 800 different types of wine!
And with that we come to the end of our pick of amazing roof top bars in Singapore. You have to admit that every single one of them provides an exceptional view of the city below.
