Perched on the 5th floor of a heritage shophouse at 80 Boat Quay (Level 5, Rooftop), Southbridge presents itself as one of Singapore’s premier rooftop bars with striking panoramic views across the Singapore River, Marina Bay and the city skyline. Entering via the alley off South Bridge Road (look for the signage by the lift) sets the tone: you climb up to an open-air terrace that merges elegant design with breezy vibes. The atmosphere is upscale but unpretentious: smart-casual dress is appropriate, and the vantage point makes it popular for an early sundowner or a late evening tipple. The drinks menu centres on craft cocktails, premium spirits, champagne and a robust oyster & small-plate selection. The happy hour runs 17:00-20:00 on weekdays (and reportedly all day Sunday), where oysters, spirits and bubbly are offered at more attractive prices. For example: six oysters around S$24++ off-peak; craft cocktails S$18-26 according to menu listings. Food-wise, the bar leans into seafood and finger bites: sliders, oysters in different dressings (ponzu/yuzu, chilli/calamsi, etc), wagyu sliders, tuna tataki and the like. From the inside outlook you’ll see the river frontline, the historic Parliament building, boats passing by and in the distance the glowing towers around Marina Bay—making the location not just a bar but also a vantage point. Because of its popularity and limited seating (roof terrace only), arriving early or reserving is wise, especially if you want a view-table. Some reviews mention that non-view seating was offered if booked or arrived late.
