Great off-the-beaten-track choice for wine and cocktails.

Description:

Spanning the corner on what could be Singapore's most picturesque street, this sign-less, sage-green shophouse is garnering something of a cult following amongst those in the know. Intimate gatherings of friends huddle round the mismatched outdoor tables, sharing bottles of red from the quirky wine list, or sampling vintage recipe prohibition-era cocktails, such as the Rockefeller (rye, fresh watermelon and mint). In respect for their residential neighbours, late night revellers are invited inside after 10.30pm for a local boozer style 'lock-in'.

Description:

For a pleasant evening out, ditch the rambunctious watering holes of the city and head over to this quietly elegant bar nestled in the famous Fullerton Singapore. Named after the ceiling of the General Post Office, which is still retained within the interiors, the restaurant is unique in style.

Contemporary jazz and swing beats keep the atmosphere alive, while the staff makes sure you are not left dry for too long. The place merits a couple of visits-if you have the dough for it!

In a tiny city where space is a fiercely sought-after resource, it is not surprising that the popularity of rooftop bars is slowly but surely picking up.
