Sky-high times at these Singapore bars

Tired of all the industry talk and discussions so close to earth? We aim to lift spirits with the lowdown on the highest views of the island.

At 71 stories, Swissôtel The Stamford's New Asia Bar is the highest in Singapore, beholding a view worthy of that distinction. Located at the uppermost level of the hotel's Equinox entertainment complex, the resident DJs spin house, classic, new age, funk and top-40 tunes nightly.

Don't miss out on Mandarin Oriental Singapore's Axis Bar. Oozing with style and attitude, it offers breathtaking views of Singapore's Marina Bay, especially at night. The bar also offers tapas, for those indifferent to the "eating is cheating" rule.

OK, so it's not really a watering hole, but the folks at the Singapore Flyer organize Moet and Chandon champagne flights (S$69 per person) accompanied by a platter of chocolate and strawberries. Gather a few mates, book a cabin and have a private 30-minute party while you enjoy a spectacular view of Singapore at night.
