Great cocktails served outdoors. The bar is located in the garden in front of the villa housing the French restaurant and action theatre.

It is located at 42 Waterloo Street (just off Bras Basah Rd, across from the arts museum).

Raffles Hotel is the home of the 'singapore sling' or 'gin sling'. If you are visiting Singapore then going to Raffles and sipping one of these in the Bar & Billiard or the Long Bar is simply a 'must do'.

Even though I don't usually like Gin they were so delicious I had to have two.

A sheesha bar on the river-front. Run by a friendly bloke and not too expensive, a good way to relax after an exhausting day shopping or seeing the sights of Singapore.

It is a bar/club on the side of Goodwood Park Hotel. Goodwood is one of the oldest and most beautiful hotels in Singapore. The bar has a large outside seating area perfect for people watching and enjoying the hot climate!

Fridays and Saturdays are packed out with Singapore's best and brightest and the queue often extends toward the York Hotel.
The house band are a unique Asian experience which some Western travellers may not like, but there is also a DJ who caters to most tastes. The staff are friendly and the owners are extremely hospitable.

Oh, and Saturday night is model night and you can find the smallish Singapore fashion scene getting smashed there most weekends

The Park View building on North Bridge Road has a vast and magnificent neo-Art-Deco bar on the ground floor. A glass cabinet houses the most expensive bottles at ceiling height; if one is ordered, a barman allegedly has to be hauled up on a rope to fetch it.

The bar is open to the public only when it's not being used for business entertainment, so try your luck if you're passing by or phone ahead to enquire.

Very well known hotel, very expensive to stay there but a must for anyone on a visit to Singapore is afternoon tea and a Singapore sling in the lobby area of the Raffles Hotel. It's one of those fantastic experiences and a defo must. Dress smartly.

Very local to city, just ask any locals who are very friendly to direct you.

The riverside walk along the Singapore river goes from Robertson Quay to the Esplanade. It is a very pleasant stroll on wide pavement, away from the traffic and with mostly subways under the main roads. There is plenty to see along the way and plenty of places to sit or to eat and drink.

Best of all is BREWERKZ microbrewery on the other side from Clarke Quay, which has an outside terrace with retractable sun blinds, or inside comfort away from the heat. This place has a range of ten or so different beers brewed on the premises. Try the "sampler" of several different small glasses, or cut straight to my favourite,the best of all ........ IPA. Good food is available at Brewerkz and there is a wine bar adjacent.

Clarke Quay itself has lots of restaurants, music pubs and shops. Walk on to Boat Quay then to the fabulous Fullerton Hotel. This was the old British era Post Office and has been expensively refurbished as a top hotel. There is a nice bar where the old counter room was. Over the bridge from the Fullerton is the centre of British Colonial Singapore.

Singapore has a tremendous range of food and drink but the ColBar is a unique restaurant that is redolent of the colonial repast enjoyed by British ex-pats since it opened in 1948. It is run by Mrs Lim and is located in Portsdown, a quiet suburb with a pleasantly “arty” ambience.

The restaurant is a wooden-walled shed with school canteen tables, aluminium ashtrays and a concrete floor. Ceiling fans circulate the air affectionately and football team photos adorn the wall. It’s basic, and is all the better for that. The food is good Malay and Chinese but you can get the full British breakfast if required.

This is a much loved place that has already had one close call with the wrecking ball of progress. It was relocated lock, stock and wok a few years ago when an expressway was planned. The locals fought a rearguard action and the ColBar was saved. It doesn’t open on Mondays but is a fantastic place to relax away from the commercial bustle of Orchard Road and the Central Business District.

The New Asia is on the 72nd storey of one of the tallest buildings in Singapore. It offers spectacular views of the city centre and the whole of Singapore - you might even see Malaysia on a clear day. Drinks are reasonably priced (for Singapore!) as long as you go before 9pm. Expect to pay around S$7-9 (£2.50)for a beer.
