Southbridge

Colonial District, the Quays & Marina Bay


Rising above the glut of mediocre Boat Quay bars, this discerning rooftop hang-out delivers a panorama guaranteed to loosen jaws. Scan skyline and river with a 'lust, caution' cocktail (Sichuan pepper-infused gin, Cynar, lemon and soda), or taste test an interesting selection of spirits that include Zacapa Solera 23 rum and Nikka Coffey gin. Entry is via the back alley off South Bridge Rd.
