Smoke & Mirrors

Top choice in Colonial District, the Quays & Marina Bay


Oozing style, this rooftop bar offers one of the best views of Singapore. Perched on the top of the National Gallery, the vista looks out over the Padang to Marina Bay Sands and is flanked by skyscrapers on either side. Arrive before sunset so you can sit, drink in hand, and watch the city transition from day to night. Book ahead.

If you can't tear yourself away for dinner, there are some tasty treats on the bar menu; most are surprisingly reasonably priced for the location. Outdoor tables have a minimum spend of S$45 per person and tables change over every two hours.
