outsiders have been known to slip unnoticed into the elevator that takes them up to this hellishly cool bar. If you prefer going in the legitimate way, then book a room ($420 for a premium room) and make a whole weekend of it. You’ll be treated like a VIP.
The View: Picture-perfect views of the Raffles City area and the city skyline.
The Drinks: The Crème Brulee, a martini featuring Absolut Vanilla, Frangelico, Triple Sec and whipped cream, will run you a stiff $22. Serious tipplers can also head downstairs to the Naumi Bar and indulge in the whisky buffet for $24-48.

The Terrace Bar
Rooftop, The Screening Room, 12 Ann Siang Rd., 6221-1694
The Terrace Bar atop hip hangout The Screening Room brings new meaning to the phrase “raising the bar.” Ostentatious luxury laced with East-West
influences makes it one of the top spots in town, literally. Watch out for its open-air screenings.
The View: Offers a stunning vista of surrounding skyscrapers and panoramic views of Chinatown.
The Drinks: Just the idyllic hangout to sip on vintage whiskies or just chill out with a Hanky Panky ($14), a unique blend of banana liqueur, pineapple juice, Midori and Blue Curacao.—Zaki Jufri
