Singapore is a city filled with spectacular rooftop bars. There are so many rooftops here that it's almost impossible to know which are the best each year. But don't despair, we've done all the hard work for you.
After visiting over 25 rooftop bars in Singapore ourselves and researching among locals, we could narrow it down to the 5 most hyped and "must-visit" rooftops in Singapore in 2025.
For each rooftop, this article comes packed with:
Both tourists and locals love to visit rooftops in Singapore, so two tips from us before your visits are to always book your spot in advance (we’ve prepared all booking links for you in this article) and visit during the famous light shows being held over the Marina Bay. It's our favorite hour to visit these Singapore rooftop bars!
Ambiance: Nestled atop Mount Faber Peak, right next to the Singapore Cable Car station, The Mirabilis Bar @ Mount Faber Peak invites to an elevated bar experience, surrounded by lush rainforest. Floating 100 meters above sea level, and offering some amazing panoramic views of the Harbourfront and Sentosa Island, this modern venue blends plenty of interior and alfresco spots.
Drinks & Food: The rooftop bar menu features a series of international classic cocktails with a twist, as well as floral-themed cocktails, skillfully curated by the in-house mixologists. There is also an extensive wine list, and a delectable selection of Modern European bites with Asian influences.
What we think: This is our favorite rooftop bar in Singapore in 2025! Open from 4pm daily, The Mirabilis Bar @ Mount Faber Peak is a prime Singapore spot to sip with one of the city's best sunset views, with live acoustic performances elevating the ambience every evening. After enjoying a delightful pre-dinner drink, you can indulge in a sumptuous meal from the adjacent rooftop restaurant Dusk @ Mount Faber Peak, where the dishes are perfectly complemented by the bar’s creations.
Dress code: The Mirabilis Bar @ Mount Faber Peak dress code is smart casual. Smart casual is an approach to dressing professionally that mixes trendier pieces in with classic staples. The goal is an appearance that’s clean and professional but doesn’t look too formal.
THE MIRABILIS BAR
Ambiance: It should come as no surprise that the view from up here is just breathtaking, spanning from the ocean, over the skyline and the Marina Bay and also over the best rooftop pool Singapore has to offer. CÈ LA VI Singapore is a large and impressive venue, and for sure one of the best rooftop bars in Singapore, and even in the world. Divided in two, here you find a restaurant and sky bar on one side (with views towards the ocean/Gardens by the Bay) and sky deck and club lounge on the other (views towards the skyline/Marina Bay).
Drinks and Food: The CÈ LA VI restaurant offers fantastic Modern Asian cuisine, served as weekend brunch and daily dinner, either as set menus or á la carte. The skybar and club lounge also offer some various bar bites, but the main attraction here are the well-crafted and fabolous signature cocktails.
What we think: We can just join the global praise for this rooftop bar. It’s something out of the ordinary! But that also comes with a touristic feeling and overcrowded rooftop. Open daily, almost any time is a great time for visiting CÈ LA VI rooftop bar. Choose between a romantic dinner in the restaurant (reservations highly recommended) or join the crowd and enjoy the lounge vibe trying to catch the amazing sunset. Or make a visit later at night, when the club lounge turns into one of Singapore’s hottest nightspots, with live DJs and a party friendly crowd dancing away into the late hours.
Dress code: The CÉ LA VI Singapore dress code is casual chic in the SkyBar & Restaurant, and dressy & smart casual in the Club Lounge (after 10pm).
Tip: To swim in the worlds largest and coolest rooftop infinity pool, book at least one night at the iconic Marina Bay Sands Hotel. It's a once in a lifetime experience, and as a bonus you will be just an elvator ride away from CÈ LA VI and the two other rooftop bars and restaurants at the 57th floor: Spago and LAVO.
MILA MIAMI BEACH
Ambiance: If you are looking for the best Singapore River views, Southbridge rooftop bar is the place to go. Located above the myriads of bars and restaurants along the very popular Boat Quay river walk, Southbridge is somewhat an oasis above it all. From up here you can watch the river boats pass by, glance all the way out to Marina Bay Sands, or turn your back on the river and watch the majestic skyline instead.
Drinks and Food: Self-named an Oyster Bar, we would like to call it an 'Oyster-Champagne-Cocktail Bar'. Up here you can indeed enjoy oysters from all over the world, but also other tasty bar bites like different sliders and grilled sandwiches. The drink menu is extensive, with a good set of bubbles and wines, along with an even more impressive array of crafted cocktails, from classics to signatures and from sweet ones to really spicy ones.
What we think: Very different from most other rooftops in Singapore, which is why we like it so much. Not a huge terrace, so make reservations or be here early to secure a good seat. Southbridge is one of the most cozy and intimate Singapore rooftop bars available, and with a great and soft vibe and friendly service, it is a perfect place for some romantic cocktails, and close to a 'must visit' when in Singapore.
Dress code: The Southbridge dress code is smart casual. Smart casual is an approach to dressing professionally that mixes trendier pieces in with classic staples. The goal is an appearance that’s clean and professional but doesn’t look too formal.
Tip: Tip: Find Southbridge by looking for the big white ballon above the bar. Just remember that the entrance is not on Boat Quay, but rather behind the building, from South Bridge Road, after 7-Eleven.
SOUTHBRIDGE
Ambiance: Perched on top of the exclusive The Outpost Hotel Sentosa, 1-Altitude Coast is Sentosa island’s latest rooftop lifestyle destination, and the perfect oasis for all sun-seekers and epicureans seeking an escape from the city. Covering all of the upper floor, the modern, vibrant and adult-exclusive rooftop features several spaces, and comes surrounded with stunning panoramic views over Sentosa, Palawan Beach and the Singapore Straits.
Drinks and Food: Here you can enjoy an all-day casual dining experience with Latin-Mediterranean cuisines at Sol & Ora, but the prime alfresco destination is the Rooftop Bar & Day Club. Among colorful and comfy sofas, luxurious sun loungers, palm trees and breathtaking views, the rooftop offers dips in the amazing infinity pool, as well as a menu filled with refreshing signature cocktails and pool deck bites.
What we think: We can recommend 1-Altitude Coast if you love a good rooftop party! It’s well worth a visit to Sentosa Island just to come here. With a setting that is pretty much a rooftop beach club, 1-Altitude Coast is the place to go for elevated poolside hours under the Singapore sun, sunset sessions with premium pours, or tropical pool parties with sky-high vibes and live DJs.
Dress code: The 1-Altitude Coast dress code is resort casual. Resort casual is a dress code that’s typically used in warm weather destinations such as resorts, hotels, and cruise ships. It’s a style of dressing that’s relaxed, yet I still find it fashionable and appropriate for more upscale settings.
1-ALTITUDE COAST
Ambiance: Perched on top of the OUE Bayfront on Collyer Quay, VUE rooftop bar and grill blends a luxurious setting with amazing views. Here you find a sleek and elegant interior dining room with panoramic windows, which is one of Singapore's best rooftop restaurants. But VUE is also home to a seductive outdoor wine bar, where the al fresco seating puts you right in front of smashing vistas over Marina Bay and the city skyline.
Drinks and Food: The rooftop restaurant (open for both lunch & dinner) reimagines grilling techniques with exceptional cuts of meat, seafood, and greens crafted into flavourful masterpieces on each plate. Indulge in an eclectic fusion of flavours from East and West, complemented with a carefully curated selection of wines. During evenings, the VUE rooftop bar invites to a diverse selection of libations to suit every taste. From crisp whites, rich reds and refreshing rosés to perfectly crafted signature cocktails, perfect to pair with some charcuterie, light bites or something from the smaller steak selection.
What we think: Since our first visit in 2016, VUE has been one of our favorite and go-to rooftops in Singapore. And 2025 is no exception! We can recommend everyone to come here. Preferably for some evening cocktails watching the light show over the Marina Bay. Visit the VUE rooftop bar for amazing and vibrant sunset sips and happy hours daily till 7.30pm, or anytime you want to celebrate a special occasion with a special someone.
Dress code: The VUE dress code is business casual. Ladies & Gentlemen wearing shorts and/or flip-flops will not be allowed in the main dining room.
