A Singapore sling at Raffles Bar in Singapore feels like a must - at least for us Westerners. I have been here a few times and I have started to build a resentment of this bar and similar bars in Thailand and Cambodia. These bars are Western outposts in countries far away from our own, they are reminders of our... More

The long bar locates right after the Raffle hotel arcade, you may easily go there by taking MRT to Esplanade or cityhall. It only takes about 3-5 minutes to go to the bar from MRT by walk. The atmosphere is really old European mixed South-eastern style and the live band starts at 9 pm every day. There're lots of different... More

Really enjoy the understated elegance of the hotel and surrounding grounds. 3 of us American ladies just had to visit the infamous LONG BAR to try the Singapore Slings. We were not disappointed They were delicious. We even were treated to a couple of pigeons that had come in to enjoy the peanuts. Service was excellent. Our server put up... More

There is no way I would have visited Singapore and missed buying a Singapore Sling in Raffles Hotel Long Bar! The atmosphere was great - I just loved the 'Heath Robinson' construction of fans along the ceiling. Crowded, naturally - expensive, of course (26 SD for a very weak Sling was rather excessive), but it has to be done. Funniest... More

Our Singapore Sling, whilst nice was overpriced. The whole establishment seemed too commercial. Shame I didn't see it in it's hey day.

Atmosphere of the place was great with attentive and friendly staff. Yes its expensive at $30 per drink, but it's the experience and Singapore as a whole is expensive.... More

This was a trip we felt we had to do whilst we were in Singapore. The outside is very impressive however the service in the bar where you are directed to for your singapore sling in not in any way special which in my opinion would have justified the cost of the drink. If you are on a budget do... More

If you just want to say you've been there go right ahead. Otherwise save your money and spend it on something worthwhile. The whole Hotel is looking a little tired and needs a good face lift.

We just dropped by for the Singapore Sling. They bring you the drink and a box of peanuts which you then proceed to shell, eat and throw the shells on the floor! Its a tradition from way back. I thought the bar would be crowded out but we found a seat easily. It was just as I thought it would... More
