The best rooftop bars in Singapore trade on one thing above all: the view. This guide gathers ten established sky bars and rooftop lounges, each checked against its own website, spanning skyscraper hotel perches over Marina Bay, breezy heritage-shophouse decks along the river and a beachside terrace on Sentosa. Treat it as a shortlist to explore rather than a strict ranking, and check current opening hours and any dress code with each venue before you go.

1. CÉ LA VI

CÉ LA VI occupies the 57th floor of Marina Bay Sands, where an open-air rooftop bar looks out over the Singapore skyline and the hotel's SkyPark infinity pool. The venue runs as a day-to-night spot, easing from relaxed afternoon lounging into DJ-driven evenings, and pairs its skyline perch with a modern-Asian restaurant and club lounge alongside. Expect signature cocktails and an extensive spirits list built for sunset sessions.

2. LeVeL33

LeVeL33 sits on the 33rd floor of Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 1, with a wraparound terrace overlooking Marina Bay and the city skyline. Its main draw is beer brewed on site: the venue describes itself as a craft microbrewery and restaurant, pouring house lagers, pale ales and its signature Brut Beer alongside a beer-infused 'ContemBrewery' menu. It is a rare rooftop that makes its own drinks in-house.

3. LAVO Italian Restaurant & Rooftop Bar

LAVO is a coastal-Italian restaurant and rooftop bar on Level 57 of Marina Bay Sands' Hotel Tower 1, part of the Sands SkyPark. A wraparound terrace and floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides open up panoramic views from the sea to the city, and the space works as both a sit-down dining room and a drinks-and-views rooftop lounge. The bar serves classic and signature cocktails alongside its Italian kitchen.

4. SKAI Bar

SKAI Bar crowns the 70th floor of Swissôtel The Stamford, which the venue says makes it one of the highest bars in the city, with panoramic views across Marina Bay and the skyline. It styles itself as a classic cocktail bar, serving reimagined classics and original signature drinks alongside premium spirits and bar bites. The setting suits sunset drinks and late-night rounds high above City Hall.

5. Mr Stork

Perched on Level 39 of Andaz Singapore in Bugis, Mr Stork is an alfresco rooftop bar ringed by greenery with 360-degree views over the city. Its signature feature is a cluster of thatched teepee huts scattered across the deck, giving the space a laid-back, garden-in-the-sky feel. The menu runs to classic cocktails, wines and beers with bar bites to share.

6. Lantern

Lantern is the rooftop bar of The Fullerton Bay Hotel, set right on the waterfront at Collyer Quay with an infinity pool and open views across Marina Bay towards the Marina Bay Sands towers. The bar takes its name from Clifford Pier's historic 'Red Lantern Pier', and pairs a relaxed poolside-lounge feel with cocktails, wines and gourmet bar bites. Evenings bring DJ sets and a dressed-up crowd.

7. VUE

VUE is a rooftop bar and grill atop OUE Bayfront on Collyer Quay, with an open-air sky lounge and floor-to-ceiling windows framing Marina Bay, the Fullerton Bay Hotel and Raffles Place. The concept pairs binchotan-grilled food with a wine-led drinks list, plus signature cocktails and, the venue says, an outdoor spritz bar. It leans polished and date-night rather than party.

8. KINKI

KINKI is a modern Japanese restaurant and rooftop bar at Customs House on Collyer Quay, right on the Marina Bay waterfront. Its open-air rooftop deck, decorated with street-art murals, delivers wide views across the bay and the CBD skyline, with resident DJs turning it into a nightlife spot later in the week. The bar mixes cocktails built on East-meets-West spirits alongside sake, plum wine and Japanese-leaning bar bites.

9. Southbridge

Southbridge tucks a fully alfresco bar onto the fifth-floor rooftop of a restored heritage shophouse at Boat Quay, with sweeping views along the Singapore River taking in Parliament House, Raffles Place and Marina Bay Sands. It is best known as an oyster and seafood bar, serving a rotating selection of oysters with craft cocktails, sake and Champagne. The mood is chic but unfussy, open to the river breeze.

10. 1-Altitude Coast

1-Altitude Coast sits on the rooftop of The Outpost Hotel on Sentosa, trading the usual city skyline for panoramic sea views over Palawan Beach and the Singapore Strait. Part rooftop bar and part infinity-pool beach club, it runs day to night with poolside lounging, resident DJs and sunset views, and the operator markets it as an adults-only venue. Drinks centre on handcrafted signature cocktails.

How to choose

  • Pick the view and mood you want first: a high-floor hotel bar for the classic Marina Bay skyline, a waterfront deck along the river, or a Sentosa terrace facing the sea; and decide whether you want buzzy DJ nights or a quieter cocktail spot.
  • Because most of these bars are open-air, check the venue's current opening hours and ask what happens in wet weather, as Singapore's sudden downpours can close a rooftop deck or move you indoors.
  • Confirm the dress code and any minimum age before you go: several rooftop bars enforce smart-casual attire and turn away shorts or flip-flops, and some are strictly for adults only.
  • For sunset seating, book ahead and ask whether there is a minimum spend or a per-person package, which high-floor bars often apply to prime tables and window spots.
  • Factor in access and timing: hotel rooftops are reached by dedicated high-floor lifts, a Sentosa venue means island entry, and last drink orders can be earlier than the stated closing time.
