Overview

Long Bar is now closed as part of our restoration programme and is slated for a grand reopening in the middle of 2018, along with the rest of the hotel. Home of the Singapore Sling, this two-story bar located on the second floor of Raffles Singapore is the place where travellers undergo one of the true rites of passage of travel. While there, sip on the world famous pink cocktail created in 1915 by bar captain Ngiam Tong Boon, and toss peanut shells onto the floor, the only place in Singapore where "littering" is permitted. The menu also offers a melange of cocktails and non-alcoholic concoctions, together with traditional pub favourites. The earthy interiors are inspired by Malayan plantation life in the 1920s. Oriental carpets are overlain on tiled floors and the furniture is traditional stained cane and rattan. A charming timber spiral staircase connects the two levels of the Long Bar with the seating above interspersed with teak lounge chairs.

Singapore Sling

The cocktails were delicious and maybe a bit pricey but the experience was great. I bought some replica glasses. Fun experience and looking forward to the 're opening of the Raffles Hotel

Overrated and sooooo expensive!!!!!!

We went because you feel compelled to. We have been to Singapore before, but not visited the long bar. We went this time to the pop up long bar as the hotel is closed for renovations. The price is ridiculous and not worth the effort....More

It's not the bar - It's THE bar.

Peanut Shells on the floor. Yes. But that is as crazy it gets here. It was fun visiting this historical place but it's nothing special. Really. Just a nice bar with cozy atmosphere.

Popped in for a Singapore Sling

A must do in Singapore. They are doing up the hotel so it’s only a satellite bar at present not the long bar. 16 seats that’s all but turnover is rapid. Worth a visit. Not cheap but the flavour is very special. And you can’t...More

Yes, they are. They serve cocktails and snack type foods. They might enjoy throwing peanuts on the floor! Be prepared for the really expensive prices!!!
