Long Bar

World renowned ‘Singapore sling’ wouldn’t be worth coming to Singapore without visiting the long bar to taste one from where it originated, raffles. The decor of the bar takes you back in time and the atmosphere is one you can’t help but absorb. It’s understated luxurious finishes and customer service that really make this an experience to remember. The drinks were great and fun to watch being made. Then of course the famous monkey nuts, where you literally just throw the shells on the floor 🥜 this is a nod to its history in modern times. A great location, beautiful venue and attentive staff. Do get along, you won’t wait too long if there is a que as it moves quickly. Don’t miss it!

If you’re visiting Singapore, Long Bar at Raffles Hotel is a must-visit especially if you’re a cocktail lover or just curious about the iconic Singapore Sling. The bar itself has a charming colonial vibe with vintage decor, rattan fans on the ceiling, and a relaxed, old-school atmosphere that makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. It’s the kind of place where you don’t need to rush just sit back, soak in the history, and enjoy the moment. Of course, the highlight here is the original Singapore Sling. It’s a sweet, slightly tangy cocktail with hints of cherry, pineapple, and herbal undertones. Very refreshing, light, and surprisingly easy to drink which I can totally see why it became world-famous. It’s not just a drink, it’s part of Singapore’s cultural story. Another quirky and fun detail is the tradition of throwing peanut shells on the floor, one of the only places in Singapore where littering is allowed (and encouraged) lol Yes, the drink is a bit pricey (around SGD 37), but you’re paying for the experience as much as the cocktail itself and it’s worth every dollar for the atmosphere, service, and taste. Tip: Go during the quieter hours if you want to really enjoy the ambiance without the crowds.

Visited here to try the world famous Singapore Sling cocktail. The drink was really good, and as expected a little pricey. It’s worth it for the experience however, and even though it was busy we didn’t have to wait too long to enter. Definitely something to experience when in Singapore!

Had to try the Singapore Sling from its original creator. We waited about 20 minutes and finally got into the bar. The overall experience was pleasant but the drink price is over the top. The bar does offer some unique drinks but the price doesn’t align with the quality of the drinks. We are glad to experience it but will not pick this bar as our favorite bar in Singapore.

Well this was a bucket list visit for me. .what can I say. Sharing this experience with special people really made it a memory to treasure. Of course we have the Singapore Sling and it was so good I had a second one. It was everything I had wished for. The bar is lovely and you see the traditional cocktail shaker in use as well. Staff were keen to share the history of the place and how the Singapore Sling was created. This is a must have for anyone visiting Singapore. It's steeped in history. Beautify setting to share a unique experience. Can highly recommend and you must try the Singapore Sling!!

A must-visit for anyone wanting a taste of Singapore’s cocktail history. Long Bar is the iconic birthplace of the Singapore Sling, and sipping one in its original home is a fun, nostalgic experience. The colonial-style decor, rattan chairs, and ceiling fans add to the charm. It’s a bit touristy, but that’s part of the appeal. Don’t forget to toss your peanut shells on the floor — it’s all part of the tradition!

A must when in Singapore. Drinking a Singapore Sling here is iconic. The price is also iconic. Around 40 euro per drink is steep but for the fun of it it’s worth doing once 😊

Had a chance to visit the Raffles Long Bar in Singapore. Beautiful bar, great atmosphere. The bar is historic and known as the birthplace of the Singapore Sling drink. Obviously we had to try their (very expensive) Singapore Sling. Like the bar, the drink was beautifully put together and presented. Taste wise... meh... I've had better. But if you're in Singapore, the Long Bar is a must visit.
