Our favourite spots in town for taking in the sights, while sipping on a cocktail
Singapore’s skyline is one of the most picturesque in the world, and the best place to view it is from above the ground. Fortunately for us, the island is home to various rooftop bars that look out to these scenic backdrops. And what’s even better? They serve deliciously concocted cocktails and bar bites that make your visit worthwhile.
Whether you are impressing your date or just looking for a change of scenery, here are some of the best rooftop bars in the Lion City that are guaranteed to take your breath away.

1. El Chido
Hit the rooftop for Pullman Singapore Hill Street's flagship swim-up bar where it is viva la fiesta at any time of day. Translating to “cool” in Spanish, El Chido certainly lives up to its name. The playful theme evokes a dreamy coastal vacation in Mexico and the same could be said for the eight thematic cocktails designed by award-winning mixologist Dario Knox. Here, classic tipples are reconstructed with Mexican flair: “Sunset Boulevard” is an elegant champagne cocktail that delivers sweet and floral expressions at first clink; “Sombrero Smash” is a fresh and herbaceous gin-based tipple tailored for those with a penchant for fresh basil and citrus; and the “Martini Express” is a tamarind spiked coffee martini that will surely awake the tastebuds. To remedy the hunger pangs, especially after a dip in the pool, there is a sumptuous range of Mexican fare such as shrimp and chorizo tacos, tostadas and nachos to be enjoyed.
