Best bars in Singapore

Four ranked rooms in Singapore, from Tanjong Pagar to Bugis, with addresses, booking rules, and what to order.

Four ranked rooms in Singapore hold a position on the current Asia list, across Tanjong Pagar, Bugis, and Clarke Quay / Boat Quay. Every one is below with the detail that decides where you actually go: the address, the reservation rule, what a visit costs, and the serves worth ordering.

Where to drink in Singapore

Entries sit in separate districts rather than on one bar strip: Tanjong Pagar (Jigger & Pony), Bugis (Nutmeg & Clove), Clarke Quay / Boat Quay (Offtrack), and Orchard Road (Origin Bar). Plan an evening around one area, or budget travel time between two.

The highest-ranked bars in Singapore

Jigger & Pony (Tanjong Pagar) at No.10, Nutmeg & Clove (Bugis) at No.13, and Offtrack (Clarke Quay / Boat Quay) at No.17, on the current Asia list. Positions move with each edition, so a room can climb or drop between seasons.

How to book bars in Singapore

Of the 4 rooms in Singapore, 3 take walk-ins. Every profile carries the phone, website, and reservation rule we last confirmed with the room. For a sense of spend, Jigger & Pony lists about S$28 per cocktail.

How we chose these bars

Each of these 4 rooms holds a position on our Asia ranking for the current season. Editors visit unannounced, more than once where a room has changed hands or rewritten its menu, and score on drinks, hospitality, consistency, and sense of place. We take no fee for inclusion, so nothing on this page can be bought. Singapore rooms we rate but have not ranked are published as profiles without a list position.
