Quick answer: CÉ LA VI and Spago sit atop Marina Bay Sands for that full-on skyline flex. Mr Stork has teepee huts and a 360-degree view that keeps things playful. LeVel33 is the one for craft beer brewed thirty-three storeys up, while Lantern over at Fullerton Bay brings heritage charm and a waterfront breeze. Skai and Kinki round out the pack – one for grilled steaks with Japanese precision, the other for bold fusion sushi in a graffiti-splashed Customs House perch.
You’ve lined up the sitter, survived the bedtime rush, and now you’ve got three golden hours before the tiredness hits. A rooftop bar isn’t just about the view – it’s about that first sip of a cold drink while the city lights blink on, and the quiet thrill of being somewhere your small humans aren’t. These are the spots where the night feels yours again, high above the chaos.

Rooftop bars in Singapore we keep going back to
CÉ LA VI
Right on Level 57 of Marina Bay Sands, CÉ LA VI gives you that full sweep across the city – from the bay to the sea – without a single pillar blocking your line of sight. The kitchen handles modern Asian plates, and the cocktail list is built to match the altitude: bright, precise, and not shy on presentation. Come sunset, the DJ picks up and the whole deck shifts from lazy afternoon to something closer to a party. It is the kind of place you book when someone visits from overseas and you want their jaw to drop before the first drink even arrives.
CÉ LA VI suits the couple who wants to dress up and feel the city’s pulse. Arrive in time for golden hour; you’ll watch the skyline shift from pastel to neon while the DJ sets the tempo. The decks fill quickly, so a reservation keeps your evening smooth – that first round feels extra shiok with the whole bay at your feet.

Lantern
Lantern sits on top of The Fullerton Bay Hotel, facing the water with this unhurried, old-world elegance that feels miles from the CBD rush even though you are staring straight at it. The bar works with sustainable ingredients, pours a serious champagne list, and plates gourmet bar snacks that pair well with a slow evening. Live DJ sets drift across the deck, and the heritage bones of the building give the whole place a sense of occasion without trying too hard. This is where you bring someone you actually want to talk to – the volume stays civil, the breeze does half the work.
Lantern is your exhale after a long week with the kids. Settle into the low-lit terrace just as the city lights reflect on the water – it’s calm without being stiff. The heritage setting and gentle breeze make it easy to linger; order a glass of champagne and let the live music drift over you. Perfect for when you need a slow, uninterrupted conversation.
Address: The Fullerton Bay Hotel, 80 Collyer Quay, Singapore 049326
Phone: +65 3129 8229
Hours: Sun–Thu 3PM–1AM; Fri, Sat & eve of PH 3PM–2AM
A drink and some bites: $$–$$$
go to their site: Lantern
Date-night territory. The kind of evening where you linger over a second round because the conversation is good and the view over Marina Bay keeps changing colour. Also works for a small group of friends who prefer clinking glasses to shouting over bass.
LeVel33
LeVel33 is a Guinness World Record holder – the highest urban microbrewery on the planet – perched on the 33rd floor of Marina Bay Financial Centre. The beer is brewed right there, in copper tanks you can see from the dining room, and the menu is built around ContemBrewery – food that uses brewing ingredients like malt, hops, and spent grain. They pour an IPA, a stout, a lager and a rotating seasonal; each one fresh and deliberate. The terrace looks straight out over the bay, and the whole setup appeals to the part of you that wants a good pint with a view, not just a pretty cocktail.
LeVel33 hits both marks for couples where one is a craft beer fan and the other simply wants an unblocked view.
Address: 8 Marina Boulevard #33-01, Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 1, Singapore 018981
Phone: +65 6834 3133
Hours: Daily 12PM–11PM
A pint and a plate: $$–$$$
go to their site: LeVel33
Beer kaki, take note. This one is for the crew that argues about hop profiles and wants something pulled fresh from the tank. After-work drinks that turn into dinner – that kind of night. If you know someone who says they are “not a rooftop bar person,” bring them here; the brewery angle sells it before the view even kicks in.
After you have worked through the rooftop list, you might want to explore Whiskey Bars in Singapore for a different kind of evening. Or if the pancake cravings hit the next morning, Pinnacle of Souffle Pancakes has your breakfast covered.
Mr Stork
On the 39th floor of Andaz Singapore, Mr Stork is the one with actual teepee huts dotted around a landscaped open deck, giving the whole place a garden-above-the-city feel. These are sheltered nooks with cushions, where you can have your own little circle while the skyline does its thing all around. Cocktails are bright and refreshing, the bar bites are made for sharing, and they brew an exclusive Andaz house beer. The 360-degree walkway means you can catch the sunset from one side and the city lights from the other without moving your seat.
Mr Stork is your answer when you want the novelty of teepee huts and a garden-in-the-sky. Nab a cushion‑lined hut before dusk, and you’ve got a private little den for two hours of your own. The drinks are bright, the bites are easy, and the 360‑degree view gives you a fresh angle on familiar landmarks. It’s lepak but make it special.
Address: Level 39, Andaz Singapore, 5 Fraser Street, Singapore 189354
Phone: +65 9008 7707
Hours: Mon–Thu & Sun 5PM–12AM; Fri & Sat 5PM–1AM
A round and some bites: $$
go to their site: Mr Stork
Best for a group of friends who want their own space – chope a teepee early and you have got a private little base for the whole evening. Also surprisingly good for a date if you want something more playful than the formal dining-room-above-the-world vibe. The price point is gentler than the MBS options, which helps when you are buying a few rounds.
Spago
Wolfgang Puck’s Spago sits on Level 57 of Marina Bay Sands Tower 2 – same height as CÉ LA VI, different mood. The dining room has this colonial-inspired lounge feel, warm and polished, and the menu leans Californian with global accents: seasonal steaks, seafood, inventive cocktails, and sharing plates that turn a dinner reservation into something more social. The terrace overlooks the infinity pool and the bay beyond. They hold a Forbes Four-Star rating and a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence, so the wine list is no afterthought. Come for lunch and the daylight view is just as dramatic; come for dinner and the city lights do the talking.
Spago turns date night into an event. The colonial‑inspired lounge feels plush, and the terrace seats put the infinity pool and bay right in front of you. Book a dinner seating and share the seasonal plates – the kind of meal you’ll talk about on the drive home. If you can, time it for sunset; the whole room glows.
Address: Level 57, Tower 2, Marina Bay Sands, 10 Bayfront Avenue, Singapore 018956
Phone: +65 6688 9955
Hours: Lunch daily 12PM–2PM; Dinner Sun–Thu 6PM–9:30PM, Fri–Sat 6PM–10PM
Dinner for two: $$$
go to their site: Spago
This is the one for a proper sit-down meal with a view, not just drinks and snacks. Book it when the parents are in town and you want to impress, or when you and your partner decide to actually celebrate the anniversary properly this year. The sharing plates also make it work for a small group who takes food seriously.
Skai
Seventy floors up at Swissôtel The Stamford, Skai is a contemporary grill with a Japanese lean. The Josper oven is the heart of the kitchen – it runs on charcoal and hits temperatures that sear premium beef cuts and seafood with this clean, smoky precision. The dining room feels sleek and deliberate; the service is tight and attentive. Beyond dinner, they do a high tea that is worth knowing about for a quieter afternoon indulgence. The view from this height is one of the few in Singapore that lets you look across to Marina Bay and out toward the sea in one uninterrupted sweep. It is the kind of height that reminds you how small the city can feel from above.
Skai works beautifully for the afternoon slot when school’s in session and you’ve nabbed a rare quiet window. The high tea is a polished affair, and those floor‑to‑ceiling views stretch all the way to the horizon. Even a short visit leaves you feeling like you’ve stolen a mini getaway – the Josper‑grilled treats are a steady bonus.
Address: Level 70, Swissôtel The Stamford, 2 Stamford Road, Singapore 178882
Phone: +65 6431 6156
Hours: Daily 12PM–12AM
Dinner for two: $$$
go to their site: Skai
Book this when you want the meal to be the main event. Steak lovers, anniversary dinners, closing a deal – the kind of evening where the food matters as much as the altitude. Their high tea is also a solid move if you want the view without the full dinner spend, and the afternoon light through those floor-to-ceiling windows is something else.
If you are planning a whole day out, Sip with a View has more spots that pair well with a lazy afternoon. And for those who like to end the night with something creamy and indulgent, Pinnacle of Creamy Indulgence might shape the next day’s lunch plans.
Kinki Restaurant + Bar
Right on the rooftop of Customs House at Collyer Quay, Kinki is the wildcard of the list. The walls are covered in Japanese-inspired graffiti, the menu throws together fusion sushi, sashimi, and Eastern-Western cocktails with zero restraint, and the maki rolls come out looking like they belong on a street-art wall. The outdoor deck faces Marina Bay, giving you the same waterfront skyline as the more formal spots, but the energy here is louder, looser, and leans all the way into its own thing. It is the only one on this list that closes on Sundays, so plan around that.
Kinki is for the night you want to let loose without stiffness. The graffiti‑loud walls and fusion maki rolls set a playful tone, and the outdoor deck keeps the skyline right there. Gather your kakis, order a round of cheeky cocktails, and let the marina breeze blow away the school‑run fatigue. No coat, no tie, just good energy.
Address: 70 Collyer Quay #02-02, Customs House, Singapore 049323
Phone: +65 8363 6697
Hours: Mon–Sat 12PM–3PM, 6PM–11PM; closed Sundays
Dinner and drinks: $$–$$$
go to their site: Kinki Restaurant + Bar
Bring the crew that finds most rooftop bars too stiff. This one suits a Friday night when everyone is in the mood to try something a bit off-script – sake bombs, bold flavours, music that creeps up as the night goes on. It is also a solid pre- or post-dinner stop if you are already in the Marina Bay area and want to keep the night moving.
We choose these ourselves. If your place deserves a look for the next update, let us know.
How to choose your rooftop bar
The first filter is simple: what kind of night are you actually after? CÉ LA VI and Spago are the peak of Marina Bay Sands glamour – one is a party with dinner, the other is a fine-dining grill. If you want the altitude without the MBS price tag, Mr Stork and Lantern sit on opposite ends of the vibe spectrum: one playful and garden-like, the other refined and waterfront-heritage.
Beer drinkers have a clear winner in LeVel33; nowhere else on this list brews on site at this kind of height. Steak and wine people should look straight at Skai. If you are rounding up a group that includes adventurous eaters, Kinki’s fusion menu and graffiti-covered walls will keep the conversation going. Think about whether you want a full dinner or just drinks and nibbles – Spago and Skai are meal-first; Lantern and Mr Stork are built for a longer session of sips and small plates.
Budget-wise, expect cocktails in the $22–$28 range at most of these spots, with full dinner running anywhere from $80 to $200 per person depending on how deep you go into the menu. Mr Stork and Kinki sit at the gentler end; Spago and Skai push higher. Always check if there is a minimum spend for terrace or peak-hour tables – some of these places enforce it at sunset and weekends.
Sunset is the golden ticket everywhere, so aim to arrive by 5:30 PM if you want a prime seat. These bars are almost entirely open-air; a sudden shower can mean a quick dash indoors, so check the weather and bring a light layer – the breeze up high can be cheeky after dark.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to make a reservation at these rooftop bars?
Yes, especially for the Marina Bay Sands spots like CÉ LA VI and Spago, and for dinner at Skai. Walk-ins might get lucky at Lantern or Mr Stork off-peak, but weekends and sunset hours fill up fast. A quick call or online booking saves you from the sian feeling of getting turned away at the lift lobby.
Is there a dress code?
Most of these places lean smart casual. CÉ LA VI and Spago enforce it more strictly – no flip-flops, no singlets for the guys. Lantern and Mr Stork are a bit more relaxed but still expect you to look put-together. When in doubt, throw on a collared shirt and proper shoes, confirm on their site before you go.
Which rooftop bar works best for a first date?
Lantern at The Fullerton Bay Hotel. The volume stays low enough to talk, the waterfront view gives you something to comment on when the conversation needs a nudge, and the champagne list sets the tone without screaming try-hard. Mr Stork is a close second if your date likes a bit of whimsy and you manage to grab a teepee hut.
Any option that does not revolve around alcohol?
Skai runs a high tea service during the day that keeps the view front and centre without the bar focus. Spago and CÉ LA VI both serve lunch, so you can get the altitude and a proper meal with just a coffee or a mocktail. LeVel33 pours craft beer but also has a full kitchen, so non-drinkers do not feel left out.
Which one is the most budget-friendly?
Mr Stork and Kinki tend to come in lighter on the bill. Mr Stork’s cocktails and bar bites keep things reasonable, especially if you are sharing with a group. Kinki’s à la carte menu lets you control the spend more than a set dinner would. Both still give you a proper skyline view without the full MBS premium.
Can I bring kids to these rooftop bars?
Some of them allow it during the day – Spago and CÉ LA VI serve lunch and are generally family-friendly before the evening crowd rolls in. After dark, the atmosphere at most of these spots shifts firmly to adults. Check directly with the venue if you are planning to bring the little ones along; they will tell you straight.
