About
Singapore's first standalone rooftop bar, Loof presents a cheeky and quirky character with extra local flavour. Carefully crafted Southeast Asian-inspired cocktails, such as the Loof Bubble Tea - with vodka, gin, rum, orange liqueur, sour plum, passion fruit, calamansi, lemon with yoghurt, fruit & tapioca pearls - sit alongside food with an Asian twist, while a cool breeze graces the urban garden just across the road from Raffles Hotel. Upon entering Loof, you will be greeted by nostalgia-infused The Mama Shop, a locally curated souvenir shop that offers a trip down memory lane. Consistently named one of Singapore's best rooftop bars across international publications like Travel+Leisure, Timeout, Harper's Bazaar and Wallpaper, Loof will take you up and away. Last call for food and drinks is 1 hour before closing.

Great view, chill vibes, nice place to have a conversation since there is no music playing. The drinks are unique with a local twist, many local flavours like Pandan infused into them. Very unique menu and even the appetisers are good - would highly recommend the Kimchi Fries.

Very casual group drinks, just 3 of us, so a few cocktails & beers.
Very friendly attentive staff, made us feel welcome & told us how to get menu via app, but we ordered directly with staff each time.
Unfortunately table was booked for dinner so we had to leave, but will come back again when we can stay longer.
No happy hour on a Saturday was a shame but understandable.

Coming back again after an absence of a few years, Loof has certainly retained it's beautiful backdrop and wonderful ambience. Even Covid did little to alter the uniqueness of this rooftop bar.
Such pity the landlord has to take back this piece of land for redevelopment - look forward to seeing you guys again in action at another location as memorable as this one. Cheers to the team!

I visited Loof on 24th December at 8pm with a reservation made 3 weeks in advance. A staff told us that we could switch seats if there were any vacancies. Thus we switched seats but was told off by the staff in an aggressive manner after we sat down. Unfortunately, our whole Christmas Eve mood was dampened. We asked another staff if he could take pictures for us as we saw that he offered to take pictures for the table behind us and also returned their phones to them in a friendly manner. To my displeasure, when we approached him to take photos for us, he seemed very unwilling as if he were forced to do it, which was a stark contrast with the attitude he displayed with the other table. After taking our photos quickly with reluctant body language, he immediately placed my phone on the table and walked off when he could. We are disappointed with the quality of service. Despite the amazing food and drinks, after the service rendered that day, we would not return again due to the inhospitable service we received.

Dear msjowei,
Thank you for taking your time to leave us a review on Tripadvisor.
Please accept our sincere apology for the displeasure you encountered during your visit on Christmas Eve. We are saddened to hear that your experience with Loof was dissatisfactory and incongruent to our usual standards. This does not reflect the high standards we hold here at Loof and this is never intended for any guests that walks into our outlet. We would like to investigate this unpleasantness further and would truly appreciate it if we could hear more from you at huiyee.ong@loof.com.sg.
We hope that this outlier experience will not lead you to write us off as a potential dining destination and look forward to making your next visit a memorable one.
Best Regards

This place has gone downhill indeed since COVID. Service was surly , waiters were only too keen to put us in lousy seats, and requested us to spend SGD 60 per pax if wanted "good seats". As a result of our non compliance , we were seated next to the A/C compressor and got a little deaf after two hours there. Terrible, watered down drinks. Avoid!

My friends were there on 30th Dec 2021, They wanted to go to the smoking area to smoke but there wasn't any available table. That wasn't the issue. The issue was the staff there was outright rude in tell my friends they can't smoke and have to take the lift to exit the building and smoke. Also when we ordered the flaming lambo, my friend commented the liquor content was diluted. No wonder they closing down in Feb this year. Bad staff svc and the drinks are questionable.... Not recommended at all!

This place is quite overrated. It is a famous rooftop bar, but you don't even get the nice rooftop views (since it is on level 3).
Cocktails were absolutely not tasty, chairs uncomfortable, not even ambience music.
The service was nice though and the fries too.
If you go there I recommend you not to order the negroni or mojito, just stick to beer, wine or bottled drinks.
Maybe they just had a bad day....

Me and my friends were planning to celebrate my colleague’s Farewell. And so we booked 2 reservations under different names. We are all understand the government law not to mingle or cross over to another table as we are all hotelier for sure we understood it very well! 3 of my friends reached first and planning to seat and admired the scenery. And so when they approached the door host below Ms Jiawen. My friend were asking her that we had 2 reservations under different names and want to check how’s the seating arrangement while waiting for me to arrive. However Jiawen bluntly speak to them “I have to cancel 1 of your booking” whereas we have 7 pax! Did she understood and paying attention to the question??!! When I arrived with my other 3 friends, Mr Gilbert keep repeating that we can’t cross over. It’s was really a bad experience. The way Gilbert tell me at my face it’s like I do not understand English and being judgemental that I am stupid?!! My 2 bf wanted a 2 seater table facing the scenery whereas I and my gf will join the other table to make up of 5pax. However Gilbert strongly insisted for my 2 friends to take the big table instead! It’s our 1st time there and we thought we gonna have a good experience there but sadly unexpectedly the customer service that we received was terribly bad. We can close one eye if the staff being rude but not to the extend of being judgemental towards us. I noticed that most of the customers there were chinese, but to treat us 5/7 were Malays and looking down on us is totally wrong! A piece of advice to the management, since it’s covid period do upgrade your staff customer service oriented course for their poorly customer service.

We had booked a table for last Saturday. They called at the last moment and said that they cannot accommodate us as it was drizzling outside. We asked if they can give us a table inside, but they said they don't have any vacant tables inside.
But when we reached there, we saw at least 2 empty tables. When asked, they said it's already reserved. C'mon guys, you are cancelling our reservation and not accommodating in another vacant table and holding the other reservations for the people who are yet to turn up.
When I told then we can wait for some time for either the rain stops or some tables become available. They simply refused to give us a call back.
This is so unprofessional and rude behaviour from their staffs. Will never ever visit them in future.
