Singapore’s drinking scene is as exciting as ever, and we’ve just made it easier for you to explore it. Introducing the very first Time Out Singapore Bar Guide, your essential bar-hopping companion for 2025. 

We’re thrilled to launch this inaugural publication – a pocket-sized but info-packed guidebook spotlighting the city’s most buzzworthy bars, from sleek rooftop lounges and speakeasies to trailblazing cocktail joints and laid-back gems.

For this debut edition, we’ve handpicked 50 of the most outstanding bars across the island and organised them by neighbourhood so you can explore each area like a pro. Hop through bar-dense Tanjong Pagar, soak up skyline views at Marina Bay, or take a little booze break in the middle of an Orchard Road shopping spree.

You’ll also find nifty neighbourhood maps, detailed spider graph ratings of each bar (which we’re incredibly proud of), and even profiles of bartenders to watch, as well as insights on trending drinks.
