Singapore's Best Rooftop Bars 2026
Singapore has arguably the world's single most famous rooftop bar experience — the infinity pool on top of the Marina Bay Sands hotel, cantilevered over three towers 57 storeys above the city, is an image that defines the modern Singapore skyline. Beyond the MBS, Singapore has a diverse and high-quality rooftop bar scene across Marina Bay, Clarke Quay, and Chinatown, and the warm tropical climate means rooftop bars operate year-round. Prices are premium by regional standards but reasonable by London or Sydney comparison (cocktails SGD 18-35, approximately AUD 20-39). This guide covers the best rooftop bars in Singapore in 2026.
