CÉ LA VI Photo: the rooftop bar that puts all other rooftop bars to shame ( I mean, that view!), CÉ LA VI oversees the majestic vistas of the seas and the world-famous infinity pools. Andrew’s Road, #06-01 National Gallery, Singapore 178957 You can find a slew of artistically-presented drinks, ranging from the bubble-adorned Monochrome (S$25) to the tranquil and balanced Breaking Storm (S$26). Since the bar is located in the National Gallery, their drinks menu derives a lot of inspiration from the moving pieces of artistry littered throughout the gallery. If you prefer to marvel at the grandeur of the MBS building afar instead of taking in the sweeping views the distinctive landmark offers, Smoke & Mirrors will be the best place to take in a picturesque scenery composed of the sprawling greens of the Padang field in the foreground with a graduating background slowly building up from the Esplanade to the Singapore Flyer, then the rest of our towering skyline.

What better way to channel your inner crazy rich Asian than a night out at one of the gorgeous rooftop bars littered around Singapore? There’s a reason we’re the basis for “Crazy Rich Asians”, after all.

The oysters were delicious and fresh, the tangy ponzu jelly and ebiko went really nicely with them, better than the plain oysters with lemon and the Philly Cheese Steak was very tasty. We ordered 6 of the plain oysters and 6 of the ponzu oysters as well as their Philly Cheese Steak ($14.70) which is a sandwich with thinly sliced prime rib, caramelised onions, roasted capsicum and melted white cheddar cheese in a buttermilk rye brioche roll. The Devil In The Details cocktail is a lighter option, in fact they actually separate their cocktail menu into strong and light selections so that you can make a more informative choice. I really liked my cocktail, it was small but pretty strong due to the mixture of spirits in it and the pear infused sac’resine balanced out the strong aniseed flavour from the absinthe nicely. I had one called Pear Tree ($20) which is made from pear infused sac’resine, fine vermouth, benedictine and absinthe and my friend had one called Devil In The Details ($20) which is made from white rum, dragonfruit and lime juice. It was a slightly darker beer than a usual IPA and had fruity undertones. We first had their craft draft IPA beer which I have to say is one of the best beers I’ve ever had. It’s a very small and cosy bar, it’s fairly dark and has a relaxed atmosphere and most of the seats are lined up facing the walls and at the bar but there is a small table in the middle. It wasn’t too crowded at that time so reservations are probably not needed, they do take reservations however if you prefer to book a table in advance. My friend and I got there at around 6.45pm and were given some seats near the back of the bar. I’d always been curious about this bar and finally went there a few weeks ago on a Wednesday night. You can have the oysters either plain with lemon or with ponzu (Japanese citrus) jelly and ebiko (prawn eggs). They have happy hour from 5pm to 7pm on weekdays where their draft beer is only $11 and cocktails are $14 and recently they started their “oyster hour” where oysters are only $2 with every drink ordered from 7pm to 10pm (limited to half a dozen oysters per drink). They have a huge range of gin, whiskey, vodka, rum and plenty of other spirits and one of the walls in the bar is actually lined with all the bottles. The Secret Mermaid has a variety of craft draft and bottled beers available and handcrafted cocktails using American craft spirits. Located in the underpass connected to Raffles Place MRT, it changes from a Japanese takeaway called Shinkansen which serves healthy protein loaded bentos during the day, to The Secret Mermaid at night where you can always hear a happy crowd of people there having a drink or two after work. Does this place look familiar to you? If you’re around the Raffles Place area a lot then you’ve probably walked past it a multitude of times.
