Bar Guide · Singapore
268 bars across 11 neighbourhoods, organised by occasion.
Ranked in World's 50 Best Bars for years. The American whiskey selection is the deepest in Southeast Asia. Manhattan rewards regulars with quietly excellent service and rare pours you won't find elsewhere in the region.
Foraged ingredients, indigenous spirits, zero-waste philosophy. The Antz cocktail is genuinely unforgettable—a moment of genuine creativity in a drink. The whole bar operates with a sense of purpose that goes beyond making cocktails.
The speakeasy that helped put Singapore on the global cocktail map. Book two weeks ahead to secure a table at this legendary spot. Service is meticulous, bartenders know their craft, and the atmosphere rewards your patience.
Clarke Quay buzzes with energy from dusk onwards, where converted riverside warehouses house some of Singapore's liveliest bars. The area splits into established rooftop venues and newer craft cocktail spots, each with a distinct vibe. Best visited on Thursday nights when the city's young professionals flood in. Explore Clarke Quay bars.
Older, quieter sibling to Clarke Quay, Boat Quay holds Singapore's most traditional drinking culture. River-facing bars here date back decades, with loyal locals and an unhurried pace. The setting feels closer to classic Southeast Asian port town than modern metropolis. Discover Boat Quay venues.
Chinatown's bar scene mirrors its rapid gentrification: old coffee shops turned wine bars, shophouses converted into speakeasies. The neighbourhood rewards getting lost, with hidden bars tucked into unlikely locations. Browse Chinatown bars for authentic atmosphere mixed with contemporary craft.
Tiong Bahru's early-20th-century architecture and bohemian character make it Singapore's most atmospheric neighbourhood for nightlife. Art galleries, bookshops, and hole-in-the-wall hawker stalls coexist with innovative bars. Best discovered during afternoon drinks, when the area feels most itself. Explore Tiong Bahru.
Tanjong Pagar has emerged as Singapore's fashion and design hub, with bars that match its creative energy. Historic shophouses now house high-concept cocktail bars and wine dens. The neighbourhood draws a sophisticated crowd without the tourist overlap of Clarke Quay. See Tanjong Pagar bars.
Ann Siang Road is where serious bar culture lives. A single pedestrian street holds more world-class cocktail bars per metre than anywhere else in the city. Native, Jigger & Pony, Employees Only: this is the beating heart of Singapore's cocktail renaissance. Discover Ann Siang Road or book ahead on weekends.
