GET SOCIAL IN SINGAPORE

After months of social distancing and travel restrictions, we’ll all be clamouring to get and out and mix and mingle – when the time is right of course. What better place to do so than Singapore, which continues to up the ante in the cool bar stakes.

If you haven’t yet visited the skybar at Ce La Vi on the 57th floor of Marina Bay Sands, then we suggest you get yourself up there pronto for breathtaking views of the skyline as you sip a Singapore Sling, Mai Tai or Berry Bellini and nibble on some Korean beef burger sliders.

Another cool joint to raise a glass is destination rooftop cocktail bar Smoke & Mirrors, whose newest cocktails include the Turmeric & Spritzer, a tipple made with select Venezian Aperitivo, topped with sparkling wine and married with turmeric, and the Cacao & Negroni which sees the classic Negroni made with prohibition Shiraz barrel-aged gin, Campari, Cocchi di Torino and cacao.

Catch some live music with pals at Timbre X at the Substation, which serves thin crust pizzas ‘til late, or perhaps head over to Ann Siang Hill in Chinatown and soak up the authentic British pub vibe (there’s a curated G&T menu) at Oxwell & Co before heading over to the Screening Room directly opposite to catch a film or a drink at its rooftop bar. celavi.com; smokeandmirrors.com.sg; timbregroup.asia; oxwellandco.com; screeningroom.com.sg
