    Was super excited to try the bar! It was recommended by my friend, saying that place is great, oysters are amazing and view is breathtaking. So from all above mentioned I could only confirm the statement about the view. I did come without reservation, place was not full, only the view tables here occupied. I was offered to sit at the bar, which I gladly agreed to. I had to mention that the just at the entrance was really welcoming and friendly. I’ve seen in the menu buy 1 and get 1 for selected gin and tonics and I was already pretty excited. I have ordered from the bartender Peddlers gin, whom I actually had to call twice, since I was seated more than 10 min ago and he didn’t pay attention even once, that he is having a guest at the bar. After ordering I waited for few minutes and I’ve seen he is pouring botanist in two small glasses and serving it to me. I notified him that I didn’t order this gin. He took away two glasses threw them in the sink with such a frustration, that I immediately felt uncomfortable. And in the same manner he prepared the requested drinks hardly even filling up the glass with tonic and throwing mint leaves in. Please look at the picture attached and think if you would love to receive such g&t. I honestly felt horrible and already didn’t want even to drink them at all, as I was served them in such a horrible manner and lots of attitude, as if it was my fault that he poured me wrong drinks. Anyway, I finished both drinks in 5 minutes and left. I do advise you NOT TO SIT AT THE BAR. As big chance you will experience this kind of attitude from the bartender. Unfortunately didn’t try food, but my mood was robbed and I left the premises of this bar. Super disappointed. They are advertising beautiful oysters and drinks and in result you get what you see on the first picture.

    An absolutely amazing hidden gem on the rooftop of a hotel on the river downtown. Bartenders are absolutely fabulous. The cocktails are wonderful. The food is expensive but good. Definitely do the oysters! If you're looking for a place to spend a couple hours an amazing view, and just hang out and enjoy the cityscape, this would be it

    I must say the place is pretty nice for a small group of people gathering for drinks. The view is good and music is qt classic. I like the music, it is not too much. The night view is great, am always up for beautiful views while drinking and chilling. I think the drinks and food is a bit too pricey for the quality? And, the choice of food is very limited, definitely not a place for GOOD FOOD and drinks. Only to chill and drink and enjoy the Singapore view. That’s it.

    Nice discovery with a beautiful view of the Fullerton hotel and the river! It’s a mid-height rooftop bar that gives a nice feeling of being part of the surroundings rather than observing them from above or below. We enjoyed the vibe and the Slings!

    It was our 1st night in Singapore, celebrating my 50th birthday. Southbridge bar had it all in its best: fabulous location and views, excellent cocktails and food, kind, patient and helpful waiters, and the atmosphere... was amazing. We absolutely are in love with this place.

  • 4/5 Valene L. 6 months ago on Google • 59 reviews
    Loving the vibe there. It's a roof top bar. Great view. Food and drinks pretty standard stuff. But service is decent too. Considering we were a large group, I guess they assign one guy to look after us. Overall not bad place.

  • 5/5 Kelvin G. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a crazy drinks session there. Great views and service from most of the staffs. You are able to see the flyer, MBS and Fullerton, as well as a glimpse of the frontal portion of Raffles Place's CBD district. Good for photographs as the lights from the buildings are reflected on the water surface of Singapore river. Have fun!

    Excellent view of the Singapore skyline! I came here with my husband and it was such a nice experience. Such a gem. We had the oysters and they were pretty good (we ordered the natural type) and the alcohol list is pretty extensive. Two thumbs up for the great service as well. I highly recommend this place for anyone who fancies a nice date night or a fun outing with friends.

    May look quite dodgy when you're bringing someone to the back alley (behind Fitness Factory), but unfortunately that's the only way up to this bar. Once upstairs, it's actually quite a view. Personally having seen the Singapore view for so many years now, having a seat at the bar counter, with the fan, was actually not a bad idea. Had a bottle of house Malbec, some good conversations, behind the backdrop of a solid view. Can't complain. Not exactly the best with some fine tuning of things, but overall not too bad.

    This bar has great scenery that will take your breath away. A great place to go if u want to impress someone on your first date! 😀 The entrance is located at the back-lane of the building (not the normal stretch where restaurants are located). You will need some time looking for it. During the weekdays, they do have happy hour set menu where a bottle of wine and some other 4 side dishes are priced at 120++. You are on your own on weekends. Everything on the menu will be on ala cart prices. Cocktails are not exactly tasty. Slightly overpriced for the quality. I had better ones with similar pricing. So why 4 stars? Service, Ambience & Delicious fresh oysters! P/S: please make your reservation prior going down.

    Overall soso experience. Impromtu chosen a rooftop bar to chill. We didnt make booking so was asked to wait at the bar counter from 5pm+ till 9pm. 1st sad, even though there are many empty outdoor tables around (rain has long stopped); staff did not take any actions to shift us out to enjoy the sceneries. 2nd sad, ordered a cocktail catrina roja that supposed to looks pretty in the photo(left - grapefruit & banana leave), but was given another look(right - orange & celery). Felt wayang as I love citrus grapefruit, and dislike celery. 3rd sad, I love tiramisu and this is kinda disappointing as I dont taste the coffee and liquor (even my colleague claimed that the tiramisu tt i made recently taste better). 1star for being rooftop. 1star for the fresh oysters (umami good). 1star for duck pastrami. Thats all.

    A nice roof top bar with excellent views, but it’s recommended to go after sun down. Staff is friendly. Menu is pricey to be honest. Some items on the menu didn’t look too good in reality. I suggest go for the happy hours Monday - Thursday to get some decent deals on f&b. We had a drink each and then walked to the iconic Singapore cricket club for a nicer view & service. Overall it was okay, can’t say we loved it, but we might swing by once the Covid restrictions are lifted and give it a another shot. The only reason I’m giving it a 3/5 is that we got a bit annoyed with the waitress offering us a table with no views - despite making an online booking some time ago. The explanation provided didn’t really hold up as guests cannot pick a table till they arrive - so that was a bit strange. Would have liked to splurge 💵 here but we were not in the mood !

    Great views of the canal and Marina Bay Sands. Plus, solid drinks and pretty large oysters. A great place for after work drinks or a date night. It is mostly uncovered outside though, so beware if it’s supposed to rain!

    Nice place to hangout for drinks and oysters! Recommended to make a reservation as the place was pretty small. The view here is stunning although it can get a little hot before the sun sets. Their oysters were really fresh. We loved the oyster with the ponzu and yuzu sauce. The other bar food were alright but the highlight was the oysters. The bartender and servers were all very friendly. My hubby and friends enjoyed the drinks and had a great night too! Recommended to go during happy hour as well!!

    An absolutely amazing place with a great view! Food and cocktails were great. Signature oysters are highly recommended! Special thanks to Warren, an amazing waiter! Thank you very much for your hospitality. Your recommendations were all great. I had great Valentine's day memories and photos with my husband there!

  • 5/5 Nicole O. 9 months ago on Google
    Absolutely loved the hilarious bar staff, Warran at this place! He had us in stitches throughout the night with his quick wit and funny banter. Not only did he provide a great service, but he also created a lively and entertaining atmosphere. The way he effortlessly incorporated humor into his service made the experience truly memorable.Good job!

    A hidden gem along Boat Quay. Priceless / unblocked view of the Singapore river and skyline till Marina Bay Sands. The staff here are very polite and great service... kudos to the good training by the owners! I would like to particularly give a shout out to Shafiq who definitely complete my experience here...super attentive and super professional. Definitely worth more than a visit there.... Cheers!

    Had my Valentines Day dinner here. Great views and good food. The oysters are a must try (especially Nikkei & Umami). Service could be better - but overall, nothing much to complain about!

    Great Experience. Me and my husband went for Christmas Eve dinner. Staff Hitesh was informative. He knows the menu well and explained to us individually. I also appreciate the fact that they gave us a good seating place that we are able to have an amazing view. FOOD is also great. Reasonable price. You should try their oysters they are amazing. We tried UMAMI and we loved it. ❤️

    I had never visit any rooftop bar along Boat Quay. I would say it’s Awesome, especially when the night falls and the city a rose light up. The disappointment was that we needed to give up the seats after 1 hour. So better make your reservation. They do served bar food or snacks and I felt that it’s a little expensive, maybe I measure it together with the time I had so... hmm... Would I go again, maybe not for now.

    Such a wonderful experience! Ordered three drinks and sat Under the moonlight glow Talking and chilling. Hendrich Gin, Smitten Eden, and Tropical Sunrise — Burst of flavours Right at the tip of my taste buds Indulge in the wonderful view of the Singapore River Date-worthy location Gazing at the Fullerton Hotel right opposite Ending the night on a fine note~

    Love the view!! The atmosphere is great for drinking and gathering with friends :) Staff services are superb, especially Mr Warren, he is cheerful and friendly and helped us to take photos. Mr Handsome also made special shots for our birthday celebration. Food wise, we ordered slider platter for four pax and chicken stewer. Drinks are perfectly good. Although there are lesser food choices but overall it’s worth to have a try!! Highly recommended if you want to have a chilling place to relax ☺️☺️ It’s better to make reservation if you want to have better view to sit.

    We were introduced to this place by Inside Singapore(Korean Singapore Trip Information Community). This place gave me a really great experience. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly. This is a place where you can get pleasantly drunk while enjoying delicious drinks while admiring the wonderful night view. Next time I go to Singapore, I will visit this place again.

  • 5/5 sudiptorudra03 10 months ago on Google
    An awesome bar with unmatched views. I have been there thrice and twice without reservation. The staff is happy to accomodate you but I didn't manage to get the tables with the best views, which is the USP of the place. The bar does get very busy even on weekedays, so make sure to get reservations beforehand. The staff is very kind and friendly which is cherry on top.

  • 5/5 Mel Balilo J. 7 months ago on Google
    Good food (crispy chicken skewers are the best), good drinks, and impeccable service. The music was not too loud, so it does not drown your conversations. The view of the SG skyline is gorgeous. We took tons of photos. Our experience was made memorable by the excellent service of Matt.

  • 5/5 Filia 8 months ago on Google
    I went to this place twice, the first time I visited alone, the staff warrent give best services by communicating and ask how the food how the service and also give me a place with a view with note I can sit there for less than hour cause it s reserved, if warren didnt give me a place I would like to give bad review because I already book a month ago, that s make me invite my friend to come for second time. I think all waiter need to learn from warrent how to treat customer very well.. there s a staff who throw placemat beer to my friend and he doesnt like it. Overall the food was good and atmosphere was perfect.

  • 5/5 Kay 8 months ago on Google
    What a view of the Singapore skyline! Service was great, drinks were expensive (normal for Singapore) but great. Make sure to make a booking in advance.

  • 5/5 Celeste T. 5 months ago on Google
    Really good service by Jufri. First time here on a Friday night with my girls. I enjoyed the food and drinks, especially the service provided by staff here. Felt really welcoming. Not to mention, this bar has great ambience, music and most importantly views. There are birthday bundles which are affordable. The staff went the extra mile to prepare a mini chocolate fruit platter to surprise for my upcoming birthday. Was a sweet gesture that I will remember for a long time. Highly recommend this rooftop bar!

  • 5/5 Evelyn S. 4 months ago on Google
    Good oysters paired with drinks. We had a party of 10 and the service was prompt, thoughtful and friendly. They even gave took the initiative to make sure the sliders were well done for our friend who was pregnant. It's a small place but friendly, casual, with a great open view of Boat Quay. Cocktails were good too. Compliments to the bartender.

  • 5/5 XL S. 4 months ago on Google
    Celebrated birthday here. All staff was wonderful in service and helped to serve the cake with a candle. First time here, and the staff came by to introduce menu and recommendations. Felt very warm welcomed. Before leaving, the bartender and staff gave us surprise shots. Have never experienced such humorous and welcoming service. They have reserved a seat with the marina bay view for us too. Thank you for making it memorable for us. Will definitely come by again.

  • 5/5 Matthew Hoe (. 2 years ago on Google
    Best time to go is 6.30pm. So your will get the best views of both day and night. We're lucky as the weather is so good, perfect to celebrate our memorable day. Decent services as well, keep it up guys!

  • 5/5 Lucky L. 2 years ago on Google
    Great rooftop bar in Singapore overlooking the Marina Bay Sands and Singapore Flyer. We had the opportunity to view at front seat of the National Day rehearsals and superb service by Shafiq and his Team. Even-though its a little pricey but the view and service was worth it :) Need to reserve much earlier if your looking to sit facing MBS. Overall, Fantastic!

  • 4/5 Derek M. 3 years ago on Google
    Great view of the city from the rooftop. The drinks were good but for the price, I expected more. The service is great and the servers are friendly and talkative. There is limited space here so the spots get filled up pretty fast so make sure you make a reservation a week or more in advance.

  • 5/5 Agnes D. 2 years ago on Google
    5 stars for the view. For 3 pax, we spent close to SGD 140. Their oysters were fresh, and the wagyu beef sliders were really good, too. I would say it's worth the visit every once in a while.

  • 4/5 Khuresh F. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Phoebe T. 3 years ago on Google
    Great spot for drinks with a view. Cocktail menu is quite extensive and appreciated the descriptions! Service was lovely - even though their systems were down when we went, staff were still quick to respond to orders. Will come back to try the food! It looked great on the table next to us.

  • 2/5 Katie Q. 2 years ago on Google
    View is nice, food is limited, but service is truly lacking. I went for a friend's birthday and was met with unfriendly staff. I understand the restrictions of no mingling, however was not allowed to even say hello from the table we were sitting. We were told off when we tried to wave or say hello from another table. When a table next to us cleared, we were not allowed to change tables to be seated adjacent. The entire dinner felt scrutinized and strict, to top it off there was no functioning toilet in the restaurant or building for that matter. We were bluntly told to go downstairs, cross the road to the building opposite. No clear instructions were given. As a pregnant lady it didn’t seem ideal or well planned to have to walk so far for a basic necessity. Waiter was also not very friendly, when he asked if we would like any drinks I explained that I was pregnant so wouldn’t be drinking alcohol, instead of pointing me to any non-alcoholic options, he told me that there was a one drink policy in place. A confusing, and unpleasant experience. As patrons, we did not feel valued or respected. For the price and location there are many other options that are much friendlier and more customer-focused.

    Great environment with a stunning city view ! Compare between other rooftop bar I pretty like this place ! It is easily accessible near to the train station . Great choice for friends gathering 👍🏻👍🏻 Five star service staff as well !

  • 5/5 Wei Lun Chan (. 2 years ago on Google
    Went there to celebrate valentine day with my wife. The place has a great view and it's a wonderful place for happy hours with drinks and oyster. Talk about the oyster, it was very fresh and tasty. Besides that, the staff was very friendly. Thank you very much to the staff who served us. Definitely will come back again for more oysters. haha

    Nice cocktails and great service. Walked in on the eve of a public holiday but managed to get a nice table as the staff was willing to move us. Cocktails were well made though some prices can get quite steep. Good place to chill with a nice view

  • 4/5 Jennifer V. 1 year ago on Google
    Really thankful to have gotten a place two hours before we were there for a last minute teams' drink session. It's a humble Rooftop Bar with great view with really good service and snacks was pretty yummy! If you ever looking for a place to chill with good drinks and view, definitely a top choice. Be sure to make reservations in advance as it is a small setting which makes it exclusive.

  • 4/5 MC S. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly recommend to visit for the amazing view! Music was good too, not too loud and service crew were all very cheery. Cocktail was average, can't really taste the alcohol. Great place to have a drink after dinner and quite romantic for couples.

  • 4/5 Doria Z. 1 year ago on Google
    The view was quite good. A roof bar alongside the river. While we didn’t make a reservation, the waiters continued to remind us the time limitations and should go… The food and wine are just normal.

  • 4/5 Jorge 1 year ago on Google
    The views of the skyline are stunning. It is a good rooftop and the cocktails were pretty decent. The service was very nice and friendly.

  • 5/5 Rachel C. 1 year ago on Google
    My go-to spot for quieter bar that can see splendid night view of Singapore river. We visited 8pm during Sunday night without a booking and we managed to get a seat. Service was efficient and drinks are delicious :) Price is reasonable for its location

  • 5/5 Cyril J. 6 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Our first time to go this place to celebrate my friend bday. We got the best spot where can see best view from the area. I can say it’s not the fancy rooftop bar but comfortable to chill. The drink and food was ok and highlight to the staff service they are attentive and helpful especially to Mr Rahim 👍🏼 was thankful he did his best to provide a simple bday cake for my friend to blow. Overall happy experiences will definitely come back again !

    This resto was recommended by my friend. I was curious with this place and loving the IG post of many, thus we decided to try it out. The ambience, delicious food, music and topnotch service from Matt made us love this place. All the staffs were so attentive and friendly, it made the place more cozy. Love the chicken skewers, oysters and their differen type of drinks. Definitely would recommend to anyone.❤️❤️❤️
