I mean, you can't come to Singapore and not indulge in a Singapore Sling. Prices have gone up since I was here 10 years ago (a Sling was about $28 and now $38) but the beverage is still just as good. Busy in the evenings and needed to queue for a few minutes, but service is great as expected and the atmosphere in the bar is lovely and has some nods to the bar's history. Menu is a lot more than just the 'Sling, you can now have a beer, wine or other beverage Peanuts come free and you of course have to drop the shells on the floor, original as a disregard for the littering, but supposedly to help with dust control....see if you can get a 3-er! If you're a backpacker there are cheaper places, and rooftop bars, that will promise a better experience but I suppose it depends on taste and budget. An institution worth visiting.

Tried their signature Singapore Sling. The most expensive drink I've ever had at 43.5$SGD. The "service fee is 10%". Not cool in my opinion. It's good to try once in a lifetime but I wouldn't come here to drink Singapore Sling on a frequent basis due to the price. The drink does taste good and there's peanuts provided for each table. The staff were friendly and alert. The bartender has a sense of humour which is appreciated.

Want to visit the place where the Singapore Sling is invented? Look no further! This historical bar is famous for inventing the Singapore Sling drink and is a great stop back in history to see an old-style pub in Singapore. There is a queue for the bar which took us 45 minutes at 3pm mid-week. When we were leaving (4pm) the queue was significantly shorter. I believe it is possible to book a table - but I don't know how easy that is. If you know what time you will be there plenty in advance then I do recommend doing this! There is no standing in the bar so you are only let in if there is a table available. There is also an upstairs so there is plenty of room to get a seat. Obviously we ordered a Singapore Sling when there and it was delicious - however they do serve other drinks if you aren't too interested but would still like to experience the bar. All of the tables have peanuts available, and you throw the shells on the floor which cover the room. Very interesting! Worth knowing that the drinks are VERY expensive. Significantly more than anywhere else in Singapore. We did enjoy experiencing this piece of Singapore's History.

A really historic and beautiful bar to visit in Singapore that just happens to be in the classic Raffles Hotel, where the Singapore Sling originated in 1915. They stay really busy here, as they serve almost 800 Singapore Sling drinks a day! You can sit at the bar, or at a table and eat as many roasted peanuts as you like and just toss the shells on the floor! You can make a reservation, but we just walked in and waited a few minutes for a table. As expected, prices are fairly high ($30 US for a Sling), but the ambiance is relaxing and the bar has fairly classic decor. A “must do/must see” when you are in Singapore

The ultimate tourist experience - get the famous Singapore Sling from the famous Raffles Hotel Long Bar... Well, I did it and it was indeed a fun experience! First off, the hotel is beautiful and I see why people rave about it. Once you find the Long Bar, you'll likely be welcomed by a line. I hear the line can move fast; however, I waited about 30 minutes. I also think the wait time depends on the size of your party. Since I was alone I was seated at the bar. The Singapore Sling drink is delicious and I drank pretty fast. Probably because I was thirsty after waiting in the hot sun in the humid-stricken city. In my opinion, you are overpaying for a cocktail but I guess you can say you are paying for the experience. I like that they give you peanuts on the house, and it is part of the bar's culture to throw the peanut shells on the floor. Initially it felt weird to throw my rubbish on the floor, but hey, when in Singapore. 😊 Overall, I recommend this experience, and I think it would be more enjoyable with a group of people! I did not try the other drinks on the menu, yet they looked equally as refreshing.

We came here because, well, it seemed like the touristy thing to do. We had to wait about 20 minutes to get in. The staff was extremely friendly. The cocktails were excellent. Granted you pay for the experience as the iconic Singapore Sling is pricey. But we didn’t regret it and the non-sling cocktails were more average priced. Fun ambiance as well.

The 'must visit place' in Singapore!! This bar is very famous for it's Singapore Sling which is so well known that the Raffles hotel has become more of a tourist attraction where crowds throng to come to this Bar. We visited around 12noon and already the long queues to get in had started as people waited patiently outside to get in. It's the only place in Singapore where you will be allowed to have your peanuts and throw the shells on the floor ,onother ritual which is famous at Long Bar. We all tried the Singapore Sling which I must say was absolutely amazing and totally different from the one we had at our hotel, it was really amazing and worth the wait. I would highly recommend everyone to go to this bar not only to try the cocktail but also to see the amazing Raffles hotel and the history which makes it so special as it is almost a hundred years old! I loved the experience!

A must must go place. Totally out of this world. Time slowed down and it felt like we are transported to another place. The slow mechanical fan added to the quirkiness of the bar. Oh, yes, you have not tasted Singapore Sling until you try one here. Love this place. Did I mention the peanuts. Crunchy, fragrant and addictive!

Having the Singapore Sling because of the history here. The experience was very good here, especially with the literally free-throwing peanuts. But I was expecting more from a $39 ($46.5 after tax and service) cocktail. Cocktail tastes fine but the garnish pineapple a bit too bland and too chewy. Still worth the experience (especially if you're a cocktail lover), but once is totally enough. No revisits needed.

A must see/do when you are in Singapore! Try the original Singapore Sling right where it was created 100 years ago! It’s so good🍹Guests are invited to brush their peanut shells off the table and bar counter to the floor! I absolutely love how iconic and fun this place is! The wait to get in might be long depending on the hours you go but trust me it’s worth the wait.

Had to try again since we were staying across from Raffles, but found it quite pricey for the not so tasty slings and drinks. The unlimited peanuts 🥜 are a nice draw and there’s always a nice crowd. Enjoyed the NYE paraphernalia they handed out! So I guess 5 stars and TY for the fun!

The place where the original Singapore Sling recipe was created. It's a fun tourist trap that is worth indulging in. You do pay a premium for the drink plus VAT, plus service charge. The drinks are tasty and the complimentary peanuts are nice to nosh on. There might be a queue to get in.

The drink might be pricey, but the overall experience is priceless. We tried the original Singapore sling, one glass was slightly more bitter so not sure what the true flavor is. I'm impressed by the ambiance and exquisite decor. Despite a minor hiccup with the service - waiting for water that never arrived - the unique atmosphere and polite staff, along with a burlap bag of peanuts, made it a worthwhile visit.

Visiting the long bar is very much a tourist thing to do, but the Singapore Sling here is one of the best I’ve had. Combine that with free peanuts which you get to a) shell and b) throw the shells on floor. Great fun. Afterwards explore the grounds of the Raffles Hotel and admire the renovations and outstanding architecture.

When life throws you lemons, u make lemonade! So during Covid days, no queue no crowd at Long Bar. Well distanced between tables. Good and polite service crews. Long Bar serves the bestest version of Singapore Sling...

Awesome place. You totally can zoom out and enjoy a super nice drink in a relaxed atmosphere. Very friendly bartenders and service staff, they always welcome you and go the extra mile to explain everything you want to know. It's now the best time for locals to enjoy this great place without the tourist crowds. Enjoy the drinks, staff and unique atmosphere, just very exclusively. Instagramable 👌 Support a local icon.

Long bar finally reopen after few months, very cosy place to hang out with friends, although they only open 3/7 days per week. Currently, they have buy 1 original Singapore Sling get 1 free sling or 1 snack from their menu, but limited snack choices. In view of current pandemic situation, peanut shells are not allowed to throw on the floor, but still free-flow. Enjoyed the atmosphere and the drinks. Definitely will visit again.

Never thought to try out this bar as I was always a little intimidated by it but glad I finally did it. We got seated in a small and very private corner, making it perfect for hush talk and intimate moments. Even though it blocked our view of the entire room and was a potential blind spot for the staff, service was prompt and amazing. There was something so relaxing and cozy about the interior, maybe it's the slow swinging fans but time seems to slow down here and the dimness of the lights were just right. Drinks were a little pricey but that's expected for a premium place.

Finally got a chance to enjoy the original Singapore Sling at Long Bar! The place feels high-end with colonial charm. The automated fans flapping were a nice touch. We like the drinks here as they had a good variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. Moreover, they used almond milk instead of regular milk so the drinks are vegan-friendly.

The original place of Singapore sling, a must visit place for Cocktail lover. This place is well knowns for Singapore sling but they also offers plenty menu of amazing cocktail. They served only cocktail and nuts here, no appetizer or food available here. Price is quite high but really worthy.

A delicious Singapore Sling straight from where it originated. $39 SGD. They even let you use the sling! Unlimited peanuts you can just throw the shells onto the ground.

It’s the thing to do in Singapore! Cast your mind back to the early 1900s, instead of tall buildings and malls, you’re surrounded by peanut fields! You head into the local watering hole to grab a cool drink, perhaps a recently popular gin cocktail made just for the ladies to enjoy under the premise of enjoying a fruity drink. Like the plantations, when you visit, the folk are shelling their peanuts and throwing the shells on the floor. Back to the present day, you can visit the Long Bar and enjoy a range of cocktails, most famously the Singapore Sling. Enjoy the bar theming, shell some peanuts and huck them onto the floor while sipping your cocktail! Get there early as the line can reach down the stairs!

Fantastic atmosphere. The original Singapore sling sets the standard for others to reach for. Bit on the pricey side but no regrets. PS “free” bucket of peanuts included.

Awesome bar, home of the Singapore sling! We arrived around lunch time with a wait in-line of approx 15 minutes. The slings were strong & delicious! Loved the bag of peanuts on the table! Highly recommend stoping in!

My favorite bar in town! Classy with nice ambience and friendly staff. It is walk-in only so I suggest you to arrive before 8pm. Singapore Sling is a must-try, fruity and sweet cocktail perfect for ladies! The Dutch Wife is a sweet sour cocktail with a refreshing finish, great alternative to Sling! Always fun to throw peanut shells on the floor to experience the old tradition. This would be one of the top 3 places I recommend in Singapore!

Hone of the original Singapore Sling. Cool looking bar that looks like the 1915 times when the sling was invented, complete with the sling shaker. The bar is 2 stories and much more space then you would think. When I went in line was short, but when I came out it was long. The Singapore Sling was delicious, but be prepared...it is $48 SGD out the door after taxes. Service was great...what you would expect in Raffles. Not your every day bar...but worth a stop at least once.

Fun to pop by and try the famous Singapore Sling. The drink is very expensive as you'd imagine (~£55 for 2). We waited maybe 40 minutes to get in at 2pm. Drink was served promptly and it's nice and cool inside. The peanuts are a fun custom to try. We weren't hassled into buying more drinks or rushed out, despite the queue so you can take your time. A fun little experience to fill a few hours of your day.

The only bar that folks who aren't staying at Raffles are welcome. Drinks are hideously expensive, even for Singapore. The iconic Singapore Sling is SG$38 (about AUD$50), and is a bit sweet for my taste, the Golden Milk Punch and Planters Punch were delicious. All patrons are given a bag of peanuts to snack on, and told to throw the shells right on the floor. A funky old school machine shakes up to 6 cocktails at a time, and the bartenders will encourage guests to have a turn cracking it. At busy periods there is a wait to get in, but the line moves swiftly enough.

It’s the most touristy thing to do when you’re in Singapore I guess but the Long Bar definitely is a vibe and the Singapore Sling is delicious there (and very expensive). Fun fact which I didn’t know before: there is a bag with peanuts on each table which you can eat. The shells you just throw them on the floor - it’s a tradition.

Definitely fun to try this out. Be prepared for a curly queue out the door but we didn't wait too long. Signature cocktail is yummy but pricey (S$39) but you get a bag of roasted peanuts (you throw the shells on the floor). Head waiter bod was efficacious but obliged to take some pics of us. His staff were smilier. There's a mad mechanical Victorian drink mixer at the bar which is worth a look too.

Without a doubt the cocktails here are amazing. We had the Singapore Sling and the Golden Milk Punch - both done to perfection. However, whilst the drinks were first class, the ambience and clientele were certainly not. The dress code was not enforced at all - shorts, vest tops and trainers were on show everywhere. Loud, raucous shrieks from several tables let you know that the cruise ships were in town as well. When you pay this sort of money you expect the highest quality. Sadly that was missing in the ambience. More Dog & Duck than the famous Raffles Hotel 😳

Hands down the best Singapore Sling that I tasted in my week long visit for a price at which I could get a more than decent meal. I visited the bar in the afternoon, was seated promptly and the courteous staff brought out our drinks within minutes. The bar has a nice vibe - chic yet unpretentious. Each table has a sack of roasted n salted peanuts that everyone can dig in. You are actually welcomed to leave the shells sloppily on the table, (and let them fall on the ground too) while sipping on your cocktail. We ordered the original Singapore Sling and it's teetotaler version for our 9 year old. All in all a good experience, which I would'nt repeat due to the exorbitant pricing.

Nice place but.... too expensive and not as good as in other places downtown

On an evening exploring Singapore we happened to pass Raffles and the Long Bar. We decided to pop in as it is the done thing when in Singapore... apparently! We enjoyed the obligatory Singapore Slings (this is where they were invented afterall) and the peanuts which you traditionally throw on the floor! However, this place is definitely a tourist trap. The atmosphere resembles a noisy canteen and the prices are ridiculously high. I would not return and would not recommend you venture out of your way to drink here.

Well, it is in fact the best Singapore Sling in Singapore. Sure the prices are eye watering, but it's Singapore! Prices are nuts all around. In my head I rationalized the price of the drink as basically including free entrance to an extremely cool old school colonial bar.

Beautiful bar offering excellent cocktails and complimentary peanuts. Great experience and great atmosphere. The experience would be even better if they replaced the plastic straws with a more sustainable version (bamboo, paper etc.).

The hotel at Raffles itself is well worth a visit, the renovations are stunning and the hotel is iconic Singapore for a reason. The Long Bar is home of the Singapore Sling and is high on every tourist book’s tips. Expect to line up 20-30 minutes. You will feel incredibly touristy, however the bar is well done - request a seat at the bar if you can - and the staff friendly. Throwing peanuts on the floor is an enjoyable novelty and there’s no point looking at the menu, just order the Sling! $33 is steep, with 10% service and 7% tax on top, however the experience is a pretty enjoyable one at that!

Really good cocktails and unlimited peanuts. Funny, everyone throws the peanut shells on the floor. The high quality of the drinks justify the higher price.

Raffles Hotel is an iconic institute in Singapore that has been serving Singapore Slings for over 100 years. By far the best that we have had, even if it does come with a price tag!

Stopped in around 730 pm on a slow night, were seated and no one bothered to acknowledge us. Table service was definitely available and we tried to get the attention of someone to take our order, but after 20 minutes without response, we left. Disappointing.

Not a bad bar. For me the Singapore Sling is like spiked lemonade - way too sweet. But a G&T there - not a bad way to kill happy hour.

I love the old world history and charm of this place but I feel it leans on the touristy side too much. The story and fact that the original snooker table is still there is fantastic. I am not a fan of the Singapore Sling, it is too sweet for me. Something to tick off when in Singapore.

(Translated by Google) I can't evaluate it. This is a genuine Singapore sling (laughs) (Original) 評価なんてできかねますね。これが正真正銘のシンガポールスリングなんですから（笑）

One of those places that you really have to go to when you visit Singapore, for the customary Singapore Sling. There are actually multiple variants, which we didn’t know in advance which was nice to find out and try. The bar itself is split out onto two floors (separated by an ancient spiral staircase) so whilst the 1st floor might look rammed, the 2nd floor may very well be clearer. Both floors actually have a bar and their own bar staff for speedy service. The ambience is good and the air conditioning is cool. Watch out for peanut shells on the floor if you are wearing high heels though and don’t go expecting a cheap bar bill!

(Translated by Google) In Raffles Hotels Long Bar, the drink Singapore Sling was created in 1915 by bartender Ngiam Tong Boon. Long Bar is an experience. In the ceiling hang fans that moved with the help of a mechanical arm and you sit in large rattan armchairs. Peanuts are served with the drinks. Well-behaved as I am, I put the peanut shells in one of the ashtrays that stood on the table. It did not take long before a waitress approached our table, sighed and poured completely sonic shells on the floor! Throwing peanut shells on the floor of a bar in Singapore may sound strange as littering in other contexts is severely punished, but such is the custom at the Long Bar. After a while it was full of peanut shells around our table ... Recipe for 1 Singapore Sling: 3 cl gin 1.5cl Cherry Brandy 12cl pineapple juice 1.5cl lime juice 0.75cl Cointreau 0.75cl Dom Benedictine 1cl Grenadine A small splash of Angostura Bitters Mix everything in a shaker with ice. Garnish with a pineapple slice and a cherry. Enjoy... (Original) I Raffles Hotels Long Bar skapades drinken Singapore Sling 1915 av bartendern Ngiam Tong Boon. Long Bar är en upplevelse.

Det dröjde inte en lång stund förrän en servitris gick fram till vårt bord, suckade och hällde helt sonika ut skalen på golvet! Att kasta jordnötsskal på golvet i en bar i Singapore kan låta märkligt då nedskräpning i andra sammanhang straffas hårt men sådan är seden på the Long Bar.

We had an exciting experience at a classic luxury bar

Iconic. Singapore slings and peanut shells. It's a must-do in Singapore!

(Translated by Google) I have been visiting the Long Bar every now and then for almost 40 years. Unfortunately, the historic Long Bar on the ground floor of the Court Yard no longer exists. After the extensive renovation of the hotel, it was moved to the first floor as a reduced version. Unfortunately, the bar has lost its historical claim, although it has been restored in the old colonial style. It looks a bit overloaded now. However, the service staff is sneaky and slightly arrogant. The Singapore Sling is expensive, but excellent. Overall, the bar is worth a visit. I will come again sometime. (Original) Seit knapp 40 Jahren besuche ich die Long Bar ab und zu. Leider ist die historische Long Bar im Erdgeschoss des Court Yard nicht mehr existent. Sie wurde nach der umfassenden Renovierung des Hotels als verkleinerte Version ins 1. Obergeschoss verlegt. Leider hat die Bar ihren historischen Anspruch verloren, obwohl sie wieder im alten Kolonialstil eingerichtet wurde. Sie wirkt jetzt ein wenig überfrachtet. Das Service-Personal ist allerdings schnöselig und leicht arrogant. Der Singapore Sling ist zwar teuer, aber exzellent. Insgesamt ist die Bar einen Besuch wert. Auch ich werde irgendwann wieder kommen.

Good gin 1915 sling, it is one of those things you have to try while in Singapore. service not great (lady upstairs- incredibly slow). Otherwise, had a descent time

Nice bar with great ambience. Historic place for the Singapore sling. It is of course very expensive though.

(Translated by Google) This is the bar that originated in Singapore Sling. Peanuts are also very delicious. (Original) シンガポールスリング発祥のバーです。 ピーナッツもなかなか美味しい。

Absolutely superb, great atmosphere, drinks music relaxed and enjoyable afternoon.

(Translated by Google) Singapore sling you want to drink at least once (Original) 一度は飲みたいシンガポールスリング

Touristy, yes, but also great drinks and ambience. Guest management at the door could be a bit more efficient but great cocktails and atmosphere make up for it.

(Translated by Google) At the foot of the peanuts (Original) ピーナッツのからは足元に

First visit.... Traditional Singapore Sling while shelling the compulsory peanuts and scattering the husks on the floor!! One off the Bucket List

Great cocktails but that’s about all I can say. The bar is a tourist trap with cheap decorations and insanely expensive drinks. Rude staff just top it off. The free monkey nuts are great, but don’t make up for the fact it feels like raffles has become a theme park.

(Translated by Google) I went to drink a Singapore sling. When I went around 22 o'clock, about 6 sets were lined up, I did not wait too much. Singapore slings are more alcoholic It was sweet, bittersweet and delicious. I ate peanuts and dumped them on the floor. The floor was full of peanut shells, Because no one was slipping and falling I thought it was amazing The price was higher than other shops. With one cup of Singapore sling each, About 6500 yen for 2 people. But it ’s delicious and tastes like Singapore It was good. (Original) シンガポールスリングを飲みに行きました?? 22時ごろに行ったら6組くらい並んでましたが、 それほど待たずに入れました?❣️ シンガポールスリングはアルコール強めで、 甘くてほろ苦で美味しかったです✨ ピーナッツを食べて床にポイっと捨てました?✨ 床はピーナッツの殻がいっぱいでしたが、 誰も滑って転んだりしていなかったので すごいと思いました?? お値段は他のお店に比べて高かったです。 シンガポールスリング1人1杯で、 2人で6500円くらい。 でも美味しくてシンガポールらしさを味わえて よかったです❣️

We were able to be seated straight away. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. The cocktail ($35) was good quality and you have a bag of monkey nuts on your table. My only issue is with the bar that they put a plastic straws in your drink. If I'd known I would have ordered my drink without a straw! Please stop using single-use plastic Raffles ?

An interesting place, quite expensive, one for the bucket list.

(Translated by Google) Nice atmosphere but overpriced cocktails 28 € one, I think Too much for a drink (not the best I've ever drank) In the end we pay so much for Shell peanut shells on the floor? For me it's not worth it (Original) Ωραία ατμόσφαιρα αλλά υπερτιμημένα κοκταιηλ 28€ το ένα ,νομίζω Πολλά για ένα ποτό ( όχι το καλύτερο που έχω πιεί) Τελικά πληρώνουμε τόσα για Να πετάξουμε τα τσόφλια απο τα φυστίκια στο πάτωμα ? Για μένα δεν αξίζει

Really nice bar with history. Expensive, but really the only place to partake of the Singapore Sling.

(Translated by Google) a long time I couldn't forget 10 tonker tongues I was able to completely forget this time. It has become a regular tourist spot bar ... It is a place to enjoy while thinking about one page of youth I would like to visit again in 25 years. (Original) 長い間 タンカレー１０トニックが忘れられなかったけど 今回すっかり忘れることが出来ました。 新しくなってすっかり普通の観光地バーになりました… 青春の１ページを思い浮かべながら楽しむところですね 僕もあと２５年したら もう一度訪れたいと思います。

Nuts! Singapore Sling! Tradition! Great service!

(Translated by Google) high! (Original) 高い！

Always worth it

Great atmosphere and gin!

What an introduction to my first ever Singapore Sling! This is a must for any first time visitor to Singapore. The staff were very friendly and the prices were not overly expensive. There can be a bit of a queue but I would say it is worth the wait, and you get to admire the splendour of the hotel as well!

You can't visit Singapore without going to Raffles

Good but very expensive

Cocktail is ok. 10% service charge for the worst service ever, not worth it

Not special place and cocktails prices are too high!

Nice :-)

(Translated by Google) Super great bar ... (Original) Super tolle Bar...

This place is not for you if you have nut allergy. Peanut shells are all over the floor as a tradition. We tried the traditional Singapore Sling, but I prefer the Raffles Gin Sling which was much refreshing. Monday afternoon we had to wait about 10 -15 minutes to be seated, but we got a spot by the bar so service was quick and easy. Alcohol in Singapore is expensive any way, but this place takes it to the next level. It is a nice experience to try.

Very good, classical drinks. The staff really separates this bar from the rest. Amazing people, amazing experience. Very special thanks to Casper for going the extra mile- we appreciate it :)

Beautiful bar with amazing service. As long as your willing to pay the price. The price of one drink could buy lunch for four at a Hawker stall. But I think worth it as a one of for the experience.

Not really wallet friendly but nice place to visit and chill with friends once in a while. Signature Singapore sling doesn't disappoint, staff and bartenders are warm and friendly. Love the old school fans on the ceiling.

Simply awesome. Terrific ambience. Friendly service staff. Singapore Sling, main drink but there other cocktails.

A good walk down memory lane of the Singapore of old!

Fantastic place, famous for the invention of the Singapore Sling cocktail! Still under covid 19 restrictions on my vist, so was lacking atmosphere,but still a "must do" when in Singapore!

Christmas Eve drinks before dinner at Butcher’s Block. The elegant colonial vibes, cast-iron Sling Shaker, and automated flapping fans made our 40-minute wait well worth it. I much prefer the original Singapore Sling to their Christmas cocktails, only because I like tasting alcohol in my alcoholic beverages, and their festive drinks paled in that department. At least to me. They seemed short on staff but no biggie, our server in a beige vest handled it all with grace despite a busy evening. It appeared as though only 1-2 guys were running a full floor and entrance. How do they do it?

Visited after years hearing about it. Great place to chill for a weekday afternoon. Raffles 1915 Gin Sling is bubbly, refreshing, served in highball. Sakura Sling is fragrant, a tad on the sweet side, served in coupe glass. Upon seating we're promptly served with water and peanuts. The famed tradition of brushing peanut shells onto the floor still lives. Website stated walk-in only, hotel hotline mentioned the same, and clarified that the dress code is casual. At the entrance the waiter asked if we're walking in or reserved, only hotel in-house guests can make reservations.

This place is everything that you dream of - it’s classy, bougie and simply amazing! Like a small piece of the world got stuck in time, the Raffles Hotel backdrop only adds to the charm. No points for guessing that I ordered the much hyped Singapore Sling here and boy is it worth the hype! The drink was delicious and deep with a variety of fruity flavours all hitting you at the same time. It also came with a free side of Chicken Satay to complete the Singapore experience. Overall, definitely a must visit when you are in Singapore to soak in the culture and history.

Had to visit the Long Bar for the iconic Singapore Sling. This drink was not cheap. It’s $41 SGD after the service charge and tax. However, it does come with free peanuts lol. The drink itself was refreshing and tasty. I would say this is a very easy drink as you can hardly taste the alcohol. Didn’t try their other drinks but they all looked pretty tasty.

Enjoyed whiling away two hours here not doing much. The ambience is lovely and, despite it being almost full, the noise level never gets unbearable. Tables are spaced far apart so that you still get some sort of privacy. Service is also efficient and generally friendly. Would recommend The Duke if you’re looking for a spirit forward drink with interesting flavours! While not the cheapest, the drinks served are of a quality I’d be happy to pay for.

The Long Bar at The Raffles hotel is an institution. A must visit on most first time tourist visit lists to Singapore, this bar is also the birthplace of the famous Singapore Sling. For a bit of history and ambience and some good cocktails, people are recommended to wait in line to get a table at Long Bar. Walk ins are welcome, but the wait can get prett long sometime. It is also the only place in Singapore where littering is encouraged. Do ask the bar tender or server for the story behind that. Always a favourite to take visiting friends to. However we enjoy the hotels bar in the Courtyard more.

Seems that almost all customers in this bar are foreign tourists. Due to popularity that Singapore Sling origins here, they ordered Singapore Sling. A little bit expensive, but I think it's responsible if you consider here is located in 5-star hotel.

I had an excellent time. This is clearly a tourist trap and the Singapore Sling isn't cheap at $42. But knowing that and reading a review that talked about this and that you piff the peanut shells on the floor "like a savage" made the experience more entertaining. LOL

Legendary... Home of The Singapore Sling. Loved the peanuts. Beautiful bar with an old world atmosphere. So good that they limit the patrons allowed in at any time. Get ready for the price shock of the drinks. A must do in Singapore. Cheers

"When in Rome..." Worthy of a visit to experience the iconic Singapore sling in the very bar it was created in and experience what it would have been like to drink at this bar in the colonial times. They also have a raucus mechanical cocktail mixer , which when asked politely, the bar tender will perform a demonstration with the next drinks order. Prices have gone up since i was last here 3 yrs ago, with the cocktail being around $43 sgd all in with service charge & gst added in.

The OG Singapore Sling. They drink is great and the vibe at Long Bar is hip. It’s a little on the pricey side, but if you’re in Singapore you’ve gotta try it. The drink is well-balanced here and not overly sweet like they make it everywhere else. I love the history behind the drink which you learn about in captioned pictures along the wall. They also give you peanuts, and you toss the shells on the floor when you’re done.

Was recommended by a friend to come here for drinks before my dinner elsewhere. Directly throwing peanut shells on the floor was an interesting experience. The Singapore Sling was nice, but a tad expensive at $37 per glass. The service could really be improved though. I'm not sure if they were understaffed when I was there, but it was extremely hard to get the staff's attention to order and even settle the bill. I wasted so much time trying to do those things when they should be the basic requirements at any F&B place.

Long bar had a line up! We had to wait about 15 min to get in but half and hour later and there was no line. The Singapore Sling was good - lots of alcohol in it! We sat at the bar and saw the bartender’s antics. This is a cool place and I recommend going in for 1-2 drinks. As we went in we saw people coming out legless - more than one of the famous Sling’s and you would be. Good service. Place was hard to find - one the second floor.

Don’t miss this place in Singapore. Friendly staff. Service was amazing. And of course, we came here for the famous Singapore sling. We were lucky to be seated at the bar to see how the bartenders do the famous cocktail. The experience was fantastic. I dont usually eat peanuts but I did it for the experience.

Singapore Sling's home and origin, this is the place to be to get a taste of this one-of-a-kind cocktail. A frequent mention as favourite of some top mixologists. For first timers, do not skip the Singapore Sling, it's just a must. And although some may argue that it's too sweet, I would say that it has enough acidity to balance that out. They do have other cocktails for those who prefer another flavour profile. The side of steamed peanuts come free, and for that full experience, toss the shells on the floor. Be prepared to queue since they don't accept reservations. We had the right timing, so we only waited for 10 min, but could sometimes be 30min to 1hr.

We went for the same reason anyone else would - or reason you're reading this review. To have a Singapore Sling where it was invented and throw peanut shells on the floor. The price is expensive for a cocktail but you're paying for the whole experience and tourist clout. I would recommend to everyone. The other cocktails were still quite pricey but more reasonable than a sling and we spent around $300 plus tips in a couple hours here. Wouldn't return now we've done it but was good fun and we get to say we have.

The original Singapore Sling looked great and tasted delicious as expected. Would love to go back. It was fun having the peanuts and throwing the shells onto the floor (as per tradition), and seeing other diners do the same as well. Memorable experience.

An impeccable Singapore sling. Service was super friendly and professional. Loved the interior. Pricey cocktail at 37$ but worth going at least once.

My first ever visit to Singapore so I had to do the tourist thing of course with a visit to the world famous Raffles to try a Singapore Sling! Be warned the place isn't cheap, the 'Sling' was 37 SGD. $28 USD. They have bags of monkey nuts for you to devour at will and to stick with tradition you just throw the shells on the floor! Very efficient and friendly staff just what you would expect a place of this calibre. During busy times you will have to queue to get in I arrived around 530pm on a Tuesday and walked straight in. When I left at 7pm a queue outside had formed. Not cheap but worth it for a great experience and another box ticked.

While it was great to visit such an iconic hotel. I felt the long bar Singapore sling was a little over priced at $46 dollars each.

If you have the urge to public litter without worry for hefty fine and *gasp* corrective work order.... Zoom zoom to Long Bar. Where littering is,.... Well, just throw it on the floor. Birth place of Singapore Sling. And many wonderful house cocktails. Place is always crowded, and be advised to go early as they don't take reservation.

Loved the experience of going here for a Singapore sling. Quite pricey but you get what you pay for! Found it amusing how the tradition goes that the peanut shells are just left on the floor, so it’s probably the only place you can litter in Singapore without incurring a fine!

This was certainly a fun experience. The Singapore Slings were made well and probably the only place in Singapore that you can throw rubbish on the ground (in this case peanut shells) without getting fined. Exceptional customer service in the beginning however I did not appreciate the tone of the older female waitress who said we had to leave since we weren’t ordering anymore. She then later came back and said we could stay. This is why this wasn’t a five star experience. Given there was no waiting line and there was ample available seating I found her actions quite unnecessary.

Iconic Singapore Slings with great taste. Free peanut and lovely customer around made this a special and memorable place to try. You could ask to try to shake the "wheel model" on the bar and they happy to let you do so.

Great cocktails and atmosphere. Waited about 10 mins to go in and we were seated upstairs. The place was great, with a good atmosphere and music. Had the Singapore Sling and then a couple of other cocktails which were great as well. Great for the history and the cocktails were great. Probably wouldn't sit there all night getting smashed with the prices, but well worth a visit.

Long bar with long-faced staff. I love cocktails. And I love Singapore sling ( my usual drink in Singapore Airlines). Naturally i want to try it at its origins. Came here , queue up and go. Atmosphere nice, drinks nice. But the service friendliness leave much to be desired. So, the bad : At the queue when I ask about the Benefits of the Accors club, staff answer nonchalantly. The staff then lead me to a dark corner at the end of the car, when I asked if is there another place, he legit walk away. I had to ask another staff member if I could change seats. The rest of the staff aren't rude but just have this "long" face. Now I know where it gets it's name.

When in Singapore this is a must place to visit…..famous for the Singapore Sling at $40 a pop…. Place is cool atmosphere is chill…. Be prepare to wait in line at least 20 minutes….. eat the peanut and throw the shells on the floor

Great to try the original Singapore sling - be warned it is very expensive, but you are paying for atmosphere/experience We queued for around 15 mins before being shown to two seats at the bar which was fun! Peanuts are a fun addition! We had 1 drink each and were not rushed by staff for more or to hurry. Much bigger inside than I thought so always plenty of traffic in and out
