There’s nothing quite like enjoying a good tipple with the wind in your hair and a great view of the city lights. Pay a visit to these eight rooftop bars, and take your drinking escapades to a higher level (literally).

Smoke & Mirrors

The artwork at the iconic National Gallery Singapore isn’t the only beautiful sight you’ll get to feast your eyes on. Walk through a building steeped in heritage, and pay a visit to the rooftop, where you’ll find Smoke & Mirrors.

Enjoy a unique drinking experience alongside the panoramic view; head bartender Jorge Conde’s innovative cocktail menu—dubbed “Illusions of Flavour—is divided into six distinct categories that evoke different flavour profiles, and pay homage to artists like Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol.
