Good view, cosy ambience, great night

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and there’s no better place for a romantic date than a rooftop bar, high above the bustling crowd with good food, dreamy ambience, and an undisturbed view of the Marina Bay skyline. We’re not talking about the usual big names in the downtown area too, we’re talking cosier bars that have just as much to offer for a truly quiet and intimate night with your special someone.
