Drinks & Nightlife
On the rooftop of the tallest building in Raffles Place, 1-Altitude isn’t just the highest bar in Singapore, it’s the highest al fresco bar in the world. The bar is completely uncovered and there’s nothing but a five-foot glass wall to keep you from walking off the edge and plummeting 282 metres onto a banker. Needless to say, the views are phenomenal. The bar occupies the entire rooftop to create the perfect 360-degree platform. There’s something to look at in every direction — the Singapore River, Marina Bay, the harbour filled with cargo ships — and not a single obstruction.

Closest to the river mouth, this was once Singapore’s centre of commerce, and it remained an important economic area into the 1960s.

Declared a conservation zone by the government, the area is now crammed with pubs, touristy eateries and persistent restaurant touts.
