The Best Bars for Nonalcoholic Cocktails in Singapore | Bon Appétit

"At the iconic Raffles Hotel’s Long Bar I encountered the birthplace of the boozy Singapore Sling, a historic spot that still tends to hog cocktail headlines even as hotel bars broaden their offerings to include carefully crafted zero-proof options." - ByAdam Erace

I Spent 72 Hours in Singapore—Here’s Everything I Did | Vogue

"As soon as we dropped our bags, we headed straight to Raffles to visit the historic Long Bar, where the Singapore Sling was born—a frothy, sweet pink drink topped with pineapple that’s considered the national drink of Singapore. In a city that is otherwise sparkling clean, the floor here is littered with peanut shells from the bags of peanuts that await you when you sit down, and I definitely contributed to the piles—the salty peanuts pair perfectly with the tropical sweetness of Singapore’s namesake drink." - Katie Henwood

12 Best Bars in Singapore | Condé Nast Traveler

"Long Bar in the Raffles Singapore hotel is iconic: It's the original home of the Singapore Sling and still makes the best version of the cocktail in Singapore. But it's so iconic that the crowd is made up almost exclusively of tourists, here to snap a pic of their Sling and gleefully throw peanut shells on the floor of probably the only place in the country it's legal to litter. The whole hotel, Long Bar included," - Naren Young

An institution that’s worth a visit once, but not somewhere you need to return to. Tossing peanut shells on the floor is a quirky tradition (though apparently a modern invention for tourists), so avoid if you’ve got a peanut allergy. The Singapore Sling is delicious and probably the best I’ve had — but also ridiculously pricey for what it is, which brings down the rating. Have one drink, enjoy the experience, then move on to a more reasonably priced bar. Bartenders are friendly and add to the charm.

Didn’t eat here…..well that’s a lie, we ate bags of peanuts!!! Had the traditional Singapore sling, nice, but needed to have a cool beer as the weather was particularly humid that day. An absolute must do if you’re in Singapore.. the last time I was there it was closed for renovations, and wow did they do a great job. A highly recommend bar for a true Singapore experience!

Highly recommended especially if you are a big fan of cocktails. The original Singapore Sling is absolutely amazing. The bartenders are so professional and kind. I must say it's a bit overpriced but considering the fact that this place is both historical and authentic, it's worth the price.

You have to visit Raffles when going to Singapore. Interior is nice and great atmosphere. The Singapore sling is very nice, but it is SGD44 each, and it isn’t the largest. Would get there early, we arrived at 5pm and waited about 15 minutes. Lucky to be sat at the bar which was ideal. They aren’t too fussy on dress code at that time either.

10 minute wait for the long bar, although it didn't seem unduly crowded when you got in. Very atmospheric as you would expect, had a seat at the bar and had the obligatory Singapore sling and played hunt the nut in the peanut shells. Staff were charming and prices as expected crazily high. A must do and box ticked.

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 a few weeks ago and had such a great time here! The atmosphere at Long Bar is super unique, classic old school vibes with a cool historical touch. Big shoutout to Jithin, the bartender. He was incredibly friendly and took the time to share the story behind Long Bar and Raffles Hotel. I had no idea the famous Singapore Sling was actually invented right here! 🍸 If you’re into cocktails, chill vibes, and places with real history, this place is definitely worth a visit.
