  • The historic Long Bar continues its proud tradition as the Home of the Singapore Sling. The famous counter shines like new amidst decor that marries architecture and contemporary plantation-inspired motifs.
  • The Singapore Sling, widely regarded as the national drink, was first created in 1915 by Raffles bartender Ngiam Tong Boon. Primarily a gin-based cocktail, the Singapore Sling also contains pineapple juice, lime juice, curaçao and Bénédictine. Giving it the pretty pink hue are grenadine and cherry liqueur. Bartender Ngiam deliberately chose to give the cocktail this rosy colour. Why? Find out more at the Long Bar.
  • Long Bar is open to walk-ins only.

What to expect

Long Bar was located at Cad’s Alley in the early 1900s. At a time when improved rail and road systems brought rubber and palm oil plantation owners over to Singapore from Malaya every weekend, it was known as the ‘Rendezvous of Planters’. Not a formal bar, but rather tables placed next to another facing Bras Basah Road, it was a vantage point from which male visitors surveyed the procession of ladies.

The earthy decor of the two-storey Long Bar is inspired by Malayan life in the 1920s. The deep, rich colours and lush greenery transport patrons to the edge of a tropical plantation. In keeping with the relaxed atmosphere, guests are invited to brush peanut shells off the table and bar counter to the floor. This is quite possibly the only place in Singapore where littering is encouraged.

Review for: Singapore Sling Cocktail

We had a fantastic time at the iconic Long Bar in Raffles! The Singapore Slings were so so good and the bag of peanuts is huge too! The bar is beautifully decorated and the service was fantastic, definitely recommend a visit here!

Second visit! Brought a friend for afternoon tea. Besides ordering the signature Singapore Slinger, we spontaneously ordered a Half Yard long beer. We ate all the peanuts, chatted until we were sleepy, and scrolled on our phones until they died. The Long Bar doesn't rush you. First come, first served (we arrived in the afternoon, around 2-4 pm, both times). It's nice and cool inside the bar, and the electric fans are so cute. It's really nice to chill here in the afternoon for a drink!

Second visit! After lunch, in addition to ordering the signature Singapore Sling, I spontaneously added a Half Yard long beer. It was so comfortable and pleasant to eat peanuts to your heart's content~ The Long Bar doesn't rush people, first come, first served (both times we arrived in the afternoon, around 2-4pm, and there was no waiting in line at all)! The bar is a great summer retreat, so cool~

Showing the voucher when I was seated made everything clear right away! I was also satisfied with the amount of peanuts, there were more than I expected 🥜. If you're going to drink an authentic Singapore Sling, I definitely recommend the Raffles Hotel bar! (By the way, I arrived around 6 PM and got in smoothly, but there was a huge line when I left, so it might be better to go earlier!)

Long Bar at Raffles Hotel is a fantastic spot—elegant yet relaxed, with beautifully crafted cocktails and warm, attentive service. The atmosphere feels timeless and refined, making it perfect for both a quiet Singapore sling drink and a special evening out. Just be mindful that the drinks menu is pricey but it’s expected as you’re at an iconic hotel.

A rare experience to enjoy the atmosphere of the Singapore Sling's birthplace. The cocktails are delicious, and the floor is covered in peanut shells, making for a memorable and amusingly unique bar.

Singapore's famous cocktail, made with pineapple and lime juice. The highlight of the bar is the unlimited peanuts, which pair perfectly with the delicious cocktail.

Review for: Singapore Sling Cocktail

Honestly, I felt that over ¥6,000 for one cocktail was expensive. (Visited on April 16, 2026. On that day, 1 SGD = ¥125.) Even with a coupon, it still came out to just under ¥6,000. Nevertheless, the experience at such a prestigious hotel was a truly valuable moment. I recommend going early, as a line forms even on weekdays starting at 11:00 AM.

Yi by Jereme Leung at Raffles Hotel Singapore

Specially curated to present lost masterpieces to ancient Chinese provincial dishes, 藝 yì by Jereme Leung does not look to present one specific style of Chinese cuisine. Instead, Jereme showcases an array of Chinese cuisines with a modern touch, such as the eye-catching Hundred-ring Cucumber with Sea Whelk – a classic dish found in China’s Northern region during warm summer months. The Hundred-ring Cucumber with Sea Whelk at 藝 yì by Jereme Leung is skillfully sliced and served with refreshing vinaigrette and sea whelk. Unlike a pot of customary tea, Jereme prefers and encourages guests to pair their meals with a bottle of wine or a cocktail, together with his signature drinking snacks. He believes that this pairing invigorates the communal vibrancy of a home-cooked meal while encouraging heart-warming conversations.
