Singapore has some of the most well-known skyscrapers in the world. An enchanting mix of imposing imperial buildings, extravagant shopping malls, and a variety of vibrant rooftop clubs. While the Lion City is a tiny country with a small population, its skyline on the other hand, is one of the most beautiful in the world.
After all, there’s a reason they’re the inspiration behind those “Crazy Rich Asians’’ hype. So what better way to embrace your inner crazy wealthy Asian than a night out at one of the stunning rooftop bars strewn across the area?
Take your drinking to the next height by sipping your favourite cocktail on these cloud nine locations, as Glitz presents the best rooftop bars in Singapore with spectacular scenery.

It’s not often that you find Japanese rooftop bars in Singapore. Thus, when we came across Kinki, we knew we had to recommend it. Kinki specialises in Japanese cuisine and incorporates unique Asian elements into their cocktails. While they feature a wide array of liquor, we personally love their gin-based cocktails like the Aurora Polaris and the Earlgroni. The first is a beautiful butterfly pea-infused Kyro Gin, while the latter features earl grey tea infused gin!
