Fabrika

Not quite a rooftop bar (it’s more of a ‘tween levels sort of place) but with views to rival any of them, this breezy bar at Klapsons The Boutique Hotel has exotic Moroccan-inspired décor like mosaic tables, daybeds and Bedouin-like canopies. The cocktails here are excellent too, made with fresh fruits and juices, and the bar bites are pretty good.

Gravity Bar

Sneak out of sight from the Bras Basah Road traffic and into the sleek, sophisticated space that is Gravity Bar. With a great selection of single malts, wines and cocktails, the bar also has a well patronized international a la carte high tea buffet every afternoon. Once evening sets in, Gravity Bar’s resident band takes to the stage, performing everything from golden oldies to contemporary pop as you sink into a plush chenille or crocodile leather chair.

Post Bar

The plush Post Bar boasts a fine selection of spirits and cocktails and is a favorite among trendy professionals in the CBD. Despite its chic and modern look, historical features like the original ceiling and pillars of the General Post Office are left untouched. The outdoor area is also a great place to look over the Singapore River from a slightly different (and less crowded) vantage point.
