Warning, the current Long Bar eat Raffles is not the original, so if you think you're getting a piece of history, you're being duped. The original bar was moved several years ago to this current location because the endless crowds of tourists were disturbing the Raffles guests. To add insult to injury cocktails cost 30 singapore dollars each and they... More

Because of the large number of visitors the Long Bar has become a bit of a joke. The house cocktail, the Singapore Sling, is made in bulk and served from a large jug with none of the ceremony you would expect from this national institution. The drinks are very expensive and the staff a bit harassed by the constant flow... More

I have called in at the Long Bar each time I have been to Singapore. I did once try a Singapore Sling (and I suppose a first-timer should really do so), but I did think it was a bit overrated (and overpriced) so I didn't bothe rthis time. However, the Long Bar is a must for travellers. The atmosphere is... More

The Long Bar is a classic colonial bar designed in the style of the old Malaysian plantations of the 1920’s. It has comfy leather seats and it is dark and cosy inside. There are pictures on the wall of past guests and there are many drawings of flapper girls and young men in their dinner suits and top hats from... More

We attended and enjoyed 2 slings and 1 virgin sling (non alcoholic) for our daughter. It is worth attending and enjoying the experience.

Go and have ONE Singapore Sling, to say you did/say you were there. Have your second drink elsewhere. The original Sling was very good but sorely overpriced. Service at the bar was extremely slow and inattentive. The peanuts are good; it's ok to toss the shells on the floor. A few pigeons were flying around inside the bar. More

is it worth the price to have a Singapore Sling in the Long Bar at Raffles? Of course! How do you come to Singapore and not experience it at least once? Plus you get to eat all the free peanuts you want and litter the floor with the shells at no extra cost :) I've been to Singapore several times... More

Of course, while in Singapore we had to visit Raffles Hotel and have a Singapore Sling at the Long Bar! We were welcomed by an Indian door man, who politely showed our way to the second floor. Such a nice walk on the way to Long Bar! In Long Bar we were welcomed again by a nice lady, who showed... More

+30SD for a sling from machine. Very light on alcohol too! Please please please find a place more deserving of your custom. More
