Singapore's rooftop restaurant scene is anchored by one of the world's most famous rooftop architectural installations: the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark (the 340-metre infinity pool cantilevered between the three towers of the Marina Bay Sands integrated resort, whose silhouette has become the defining image of 21st-century Singapore). The Singapore skyline (the Marina Bay Financial Centre, the CBD's cluster of international bank towers, and the reclaimed Marina Bay waterfront) creates a rooftop dining landscape of maximum contemporary urban ambition. Here are the best rooftop restaurants in Singapore for 2026.
Cé La Vi SkyBar: Marina Bay Sands
Cé La Vi SkyBar (at the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark, 10 Bayfront Avenue, Marina Bay, accessible by MRT Circle Line to Bayfront station, open daily from noon to midnight, hotel guests and day-pass visitors for the SkyPark, non-guests via Cé La Vi restaurant reservation), is Singapore's most iconic rooftop bar and restaurant and one of the most visited elevated dining venues in the world: the Cé La Vi SkyBar at the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark (at 57 floors, 200 metres above the Marina Bay, with the iconic infinity pool at one end and the SkyPark observation deck at the other) provides a rooftop bar and restaurant setting of worldwide fame. The view from the Cé La Vi SkyBar (looking across Marina Bay to the Singapore CBD, Gardens by the Bay, Sentosa Island, and the Strait of Singapore with the Indonesian islands visible on the horizon) is one of the great urban rooftop views in Asia. The Cé La Vi SkyBar menu presents Pan-Asian cuisine; the sushi, the wagyu, and the cocktail programme (using Asian spirits and tropical Singapore produce) are the signature offerings. Non-hotel guests must make a Cé La Vi restaurant reservation to access the SkyPark rooftop without a hotel room key.
1-Altitude: Raffles Place Rooftop
1-Altitude (at 1 Raffles Place, OUB Centre, Level 63, accessible by MRT North-South/East-West Line to Raffles Place, open Tuesday through Sunday from 6pm), is Singapore's highest alfresco bar: the 1-Altitude on the 63rd floor of the One Raffles Place tower (282 metres above Raffles Place) provides the highest outdoor bar venue in Singapore with panoramic views of Marina Bay, the CBD, the Singapore Strait, Sentosa Island, and (on the clearest days) the Indonesian Riau Islands and Johor Bahru in Malaysia. The 1-Altitude's cocktail programme and its premium spirits selection create a Singapore rooftop bar experience of maximum elevation prestige; the DJ programme on weekend evenings makes 1-Altitude one of Singapore's premier late-night rooftop social venues.
LeVeL33: Marina Bay Urban Craft Brewery
LeVeL33 (at Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 1, 8 Marina Boulevard, Level 33, accessible by MRT Circle Line to Bayfront station, open daily for lunch and dinner from 11:30am), is Singapore's finest rooftop urban craft brewery and restaurant: the LeVeL33 (the world's highest urban craft brewery, brewing its signature LeVeL33 Blond Lager, House Porter, and Wheat Beer in the restaurant's own copper brewing tanks visible throughout the restaurant and bar) provides a rooftop restaurant and bar setting at the 33rd floor of the Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower, with direct views of the Marina Bay Sands, the Marina Bay waterfront, and the Singapore CBD. The LeVeL33 restaurant menu presents contemporary European cuisine; the craft beer pairing with the food menu is the signature LeVeL33 dining experience.
Smoke and Mirrors: National Gallery Singapore Rooftop
Smoke and Mirrors (at the National Gallery Singapore, City Hall Wing, 1 St Andrew's Road, Level 6, accessible by MRT North-South/East-West Line to City Hall, open Tuesday through Sunday from 5pm to midnight), is Singapore's finest rooftop cocktail bar with the Singapore civic heart views: the Smoke and Mirrors (on the rooftop of the National Gallery Singapore, the 2015 conversion of the former Supreme Court and City Hall buildings into Singapore's largest visual arts institution) provides a rooftop cocktail bar setting with views of the Padang (the historic colonial-era cricket ground), the CBD skyline, the Esplanade Theatres, and the Marina Bay financial district. The Smoke and Mirrors cocktail programme is among the most creative and most awarded in Singapore; the bar's name reflects its focus on optical illusion and theatrical cocktail presentation.
New Asia Bar: Swissôtel The Stamford
New Asia Bar (at Swissôtel The Stamford, 2 Stamford Road, Level 70-71, accessible by MRT North-South/East-West Line to City Hall, open daily from 5pm to midnight), is Singapore's finest rooftop bar in the Raffles City complex: the New Asia Bar on the 70th and 71st floors of the Swissôtel The Stamford (one of the tallest hotels in Southeast Asia at 226 metres) provides Singapore's most complete rooftop cityscape view, with the CBD, Marina Bay, the Esplanade, Sentosa, and the surrounding sea all visible simultaneously. The New Asia Bar's cocktail programme uses Asian spirits; the bar food covers contemporary Asian small plates.
Practical Rooftip Tips
Singapore's rooftop dining season runs year-round in the equatorial climate; afternoon thunderstorms (most common between 3pm and 7pm) are frequent throughout the year but clear quickly. The outdoor rooftop venues in Singapore (1-Altitude, New Asia Bar) have covered sections that allow dining to continue during brief rain showers. Reservations for Cé La Vi (required for non-hotel SkyPark access), Smoke and Mirrors, and LeVeL33 are recommended for weekend evenings. Singapore's MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) is one of the finest public transit systems in Asia; all major rooftop venues are within 5-10 minutes' walk of a major MRT interchange. Singapore's dress code for rooftop venues is smart casual; shorts and sandals are accepted at most casual rooftop bars but smart attire is required at Cé La Vi and LeVeL33 for dinner service.
