Singapore’s Best Rooftop Bars For Sky-High Sips

Singapore was practically built for rooftop bars. Warm nights, ridiculous skyline views, and enough towering hotels and hidden terraces to keep your after-work drinks rotation permanently stacked. Whether you’re in the mood for champagne with a Marina Bay backdrop, low-key cocktails under the stars, or a rooftop party that escalates quickly, there’s a sky-high spot here with your name on it.

The best rooftop bars in Singapore aren’t just about the view either. Some come with killer cocktail programmes, some lean hard into the music and late-night energy, and others are all about long sunset sessions with snacks and spritzes. From iconic rooftops to under-the-radar gems, these are the spots worth heading upstairs for.

Milli

National Gallery Singapore, 1 St Andrew's Road, Level 5 and 6

Set to shake up the city’s dining and nightlife scene, Milli lands at the National Gallery Singapore as a double-story destination that promises two very different moods under one roof. Helmed by hospitality heavyweights LG Han and Vijay Mudaliar, alongside the team behind Bae’s Cocktail Club, Milli is designed to take you from leisurely lunches and sunset drinks to dinner, late-night cocktails, and dancing till 4am. 

Upstairs, Milli: Sky Dining & Bar delivers an intimate rooftop dining experience with sweeping skyline views and a menu that playfully reimagines familiar Singaporean flavours. Expect Han’s signature creative touch on dishes like chilli crab ice cream (now designed as a shareable starter), a soufflé-style oyster omelette, and roasted spring chicken rice paella with a satisfyingly scorched claypot-style base. Desserts get just as creative, with a collaboration series of Ice Kachang-goris—a clever rework of the local dessert with Japanese precision, and a lineup of cocktail and non-alcoholic flavours. Think a bandung-inspired variation with rose liquor, as well as a tangy Solero-inspired version.

Downstairs, Milli: Lounge dials things up into a high-energy nightlife destination built around nostalgia and crowd-pleasing beats, from disco and funk to hip hop and R&B. Mudaliar’s cocktail menu riffs on local icons too, with drinks inspired by kaya toast and kopi, whisky green tea, and even familiar fast-food flavours reworked into spice-forward pours. Add in some late-night bites, big-named guest DJs, a striking 20-meter HD screen, and a no cover charge policy, and Milli makes it dangerously easy to return to again and again. Officially opening 31 May 2026, with reservations already available, this is one rooftop launch you have to jump in on.

Las Palmas

Sitting atop the Novena skyline at Courtyard by Marriott Singapore Novena, Las Palmas offers a more laidback alternative into the city’s high-energy rooftop scene, pairing poolside views with a distinctly tropical atmosphere. And now, the bar is refreshing its experience with a new food menu inspired by beachside stalls, street markets, and bold open-air flavours designed to complement its Palm Springs-style cocktail programme. 

The new menu moves between light bites and heartier comfort food, with highlights including the Mediterranean-inspired Mezza Mix platter, the smoked beef brisket sandwich served with chimichurri, and the tacos filled with lemongrass chicken. There’s also a playful local twist on churros, as they’re dusted in five-spice sugar and paired with kaya and salted peanut dips. Better still, Las Palmas continues to lean into easy-going rooftop drinking culture with rotating promotions like Sundowner Happy Hour cocktails, discounted signature drinks during Weekend Twilight, and weekend cocktail specials. 

For those wanting a slower afternoon above the city, the venue’s new central Pool & Cabana Package offers access to its 20-metre infinity pool alongside a private cabana setup complete with a complimentary bottle of prosecco. Altogether, Las Palmas continues to position itself less as a party rooftop and more as an easy, neighbourhood-style escape for sunset drinks, casual gatherings, and relaxed weekends away from the crowds.

HighHouse

If your ideal rooftop bar involves skyline views and a storytelling cocktail, HighHouse has just raised the bar. Their new cocktail menu takes guests on a spirited journey across Asia, with six countries, each inspiring a distinct drink that celebrates regional flavours, traditions, and techniques. 

Expect playful pours like Yolk & Phin, a Vietnamese-inspired mix of Haku Vodka, robusta coffee, hazelnut, and egg foam, or India’s Jaggery Wallah, where dark rum meets masala spice and black chai. Japan’s Matcha Paramour keeps things refined with sake, matcha, and yuzu espuma, while Thailand’s Siam Sunset blends bourbon, Thai tea, and palm sugar with kumquat foam. From Indonesia, there’s the Krakatoa Sunset, a snake fruit infused Toki whisky that’s balanced out by Campari cordial, spiced honey, and calamansi. And if you’re looking for something bolder, the Philippines-inspired Sisig leans unapologetically savoury with mezcal, miso, chili, and coconut oil fat-wash. There are also mocktails and a seasonal punchbowl for those who prefer to sip communally. 

Plus, with HighHouse also joining the 2026 Diageo World Class Cocktail Festival, you can even enjoy Crimson Path, a limited-time cocktail, available until 31 May 2026. Built on Johnny Walker Black Ruby with ume-boshi honey cordial and carbonated oolong tea, it’s a layered, savoury-sweet pour that proves your rooftop nightcap can be just as memorable as the view.

El Chido

Boasting beach club vibes within the heart of Singapore’s busiest districts, El Chido is the ultimate Mexican rooftop oasis. Located at the top of Pullman Singapore Hill Street, you can take a dip in the glistening infinity pool, share flavourful Mexican bites, enjoy stunning views of the Singapore skyline and groove to captivating Mexican tunes regardless of whether you’re a hotel guest or not.

When the sun starts dipping behind the Civic District skyline, the bar shifts into full rooftop-party mode. The space does a lot of the heavy lifting: swim-up bar, cabanas, communal sofas, colourful murals and a cactus-lined backdrop that feels more coastal Mexico than city centre Singapore.

Drinks-wise, the bar leans into craft cocktails alongside a serious selection of mezcals and tequilas, making it an easy pick for everything from after-work wind-downs to long, linger-over-one-more sessions.

What really seals it is how flexible the vibe is. Swing by early for chilled sunset cocktails, settle in with friends for free-flow deals during the week, or roll through on Industry Mondays when selected food and drinks go for a wallet-friendly $10. There's always a menu refresh to look forward to. Add live music and skyline views into the mix, and El Chido proves itself as a rooftop bar that doesn’t need dress codes or hotel-stay credentials, just good company and a solid thirst.

Think jumbo crab pasta, duck samosas with whipped foie gras, or a mezze platter made perfect for sharing. Mains bring the drama, from wagyu skirt steak with truffle fries to tiger prawns with Tuscan kale and chorizo suquet—each dish packing plenty of flavour for any night out. Desserts even keep things fun with options like chocolate churro poppers, matcha layer cake, and a classic Knickerbocker Glory to round things off. 

Behind the bar, the cocktail list keeps pace.
