The 11 Best Rooftop Bars in Singapore (2026)

Updated October 2026 · 11 picks

The best rooftop bars in Singapore in 2026 are CÉ LA VI on top of Marina Bay Sands, Lantern at The Fullerton Bay Hotel, NOVA on the 63rd floor of One Raffles Place, LeVeL33's rooftop brewery and Milli, which opened at National Gallery Singapore in May 2026. Mr Stork at Andaz and 1-Altitude Coast on Sentosa are the more relaxed picks.

Singapore's rooftop bars are mostly in hotels and office towers around Marina Bay and the CBD. Sunset is around 7pm all year, so arrive by 6.30pm for golden-hour views and, from 8pm, the Spectra light show over the bay. Cocktails typically cost from around S$22–30 before service charge and GST, so look out for weekday happy hours. Smart casual is the default; avoid flip-flops and singlets. Bars close open-air terraces in heavy rain — SKAI is the indoor option.

1. CÉ LA VI SkyBar — Marina Bay Sands

The postcard view — 57 floors up on the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark.

$$$ Upmarket

CÉ LA VI sits on the SkyPark at the top of Marina Bay Sands, looking over the bay, the CBD skyline and Gardens by the Bay. The SkyBar is the open-air drinking deck; there's also a restaurant and a club lounge.

Entry includes a drink, and it is cheaper before 10pm. It suits first-time visitors who want the classic view, and it gets busy at sunset.

Good to know: Go up before sunset to grab a spot on the rail; the lift is in Tower 3.

2. Lantern — The Fullerton Bay Hotel, Marina Bay

A low-rise hotel rooftop with the best eye-level view of Marina Bay Sands.

$$$ Upmarket

Lantern sits on the roof of The Fullerton Bay Hotel, right on the water, with a pool, lantern-lit tables and Marina Bay Sands directly opposite. Being only a few floors up, it feels part of the bay rather than above it.

Come for the weekday afternoon happy hour or for a cocktail at sunset. It suits couples and anyone who prefers conversation to a DJ.

Good to know: Weekday happy hour runs 3–6pm; the dress code tightens after dark.
