Raffles

Long Bar · Singapore

Toss the peanut shells on the floor and order the drink that was invented right here — colonial theatre, deliciously unbothered.

The Setting

The Room

A two-storey colonial throwback of dark rattan, tropical greenery and the famous hand-pulled punkah fans swaying overhead. Peanut sacks at every table; the shells go on the floor.

The single drink worth the journey to Singapore.
— On the Singapore Sling
The Atmosphere

The Vibe

Loud, fun and unapologetically touristic in the best way. The one Raffles room where decorum relaxes — it's a rite of passage, not a quiet nightcap.

At the Bar

The Drinks Program

Home of the Singapore Sling, created by Ngiam Tong Boon around 1915. It's sweet, pink and built for the heat — order it once, here, where it belongs.
