New Asia Bar

Level 71, Equinox Complex, Swissotel The Stamford, above the city skyline, wonderful sight of Singapore's skyscrapers.

Wonderful! Great friendly service and reasonable prices considering where you are.

Go early and the bar opens up to the top floor helipad, where strong gusts of wind may ruin your 'do, but the 360-degree panoramic view of the bright lights around Singapore make the drinks worth the price. On clear nights you might even see as far as Indonesia.

As my title suggest, I came here to have drinks high up with a sky view. Pretty cool to just come and chill while enjoying the beautiful city skyline.

It used to be the highest bar in Singapore before 1 Altitude came along. But then again it is the highest "enclosed bar" since Altitude is open air concept.

Entrance is through Swisshotel lobby. There will be a special lift to bring you to the bar & the restaurant.

Requirements for dressing is the same as the restaurant - no T-shirt/ shorts/ slippers.

The crowd here is usually working class adults. There used to be a lot of yuppies hanging here. There is a cover charge which entitles you to 1 drink. Sorry I dont know how much is the cover charge since I did not pay for it. A glass of champagne will cost about $25 - steep yes? And you can never drink just a glass of champagne, well at least I cant.

To get a window seat/ a table facing the window can be quite difficult sometimes as everyone wants a table with the view. There is a small dance floor and there is a DJ to spin the beats but I find that the music choice has sort of deteriorated over the years.

The bar does shoot laser lights into the skyline at nite which is quite nice. I think theres an arrangement that all bars situated at high levels does this cause you can also see Ku Deta (Marina Bay Sands) and 1 Altitude shooting laser lights into the sky.

So what are you waiting for, bring your camera & make a toast!

71 & 72 Floor, Swissôtel The Stamford. Great View of the city in a martini bar atmosphere. Not the cheapest place in town as drinks run $10-$12US, but well worth the view.

Located at the 71st and 72nd floor of Singapore's tallest building - the Swissôtel Stamford, New Asia Bar offers guests a spectacular 360° view of Singapore. Level 71 is open to the public, while it's by-invitation only on the 72nd.

During the day, one can enjoy good food while listening to music and chatting with friends, while after sunset it's the perfect place to throw down and dance the night away. Also it's 50% off on drinks between 3:00 to 9:00 pm everyday, and 12:00 MN to 1:00 AM on Fridays and Saturdays.

It's a bit expensive though, but if you've got an expat friend in town that wouldn't be a problem at all. hehe!
