Cheen The CuriousJune 23, 2019The Singapore Sling was first created in 1915 by Raffles bartender Mr. Ngiam Tong Boon, a Hainanese-Chinese. He deliberately chose to give the cocktail a rosy colour, meant for ladies. Source: Hotel

Romain D.February 25, 2019Iconic bar inside the Raffles Hotel. Cocktails are good but maybe not worth their US $27 price tags! Original Singapore Sling was good but the Golden Milk Punch was even better!Upvoted Feb 23
Kane Steele 司徒凱恩July 16, 2016Regular pax on Singapore Airlines would appreciate the Long Bar can make you a customised Silver Kris Sling: a delicious mix of gin, Cointreau, orange juice and pineapple juice, topped with champagne.
Nic ComleyMarch 14, 2023A ‘must do’ in Singapore - visit the birth place of the Singapore Sling! It’s expensive, but if you just go for one drink it’s a fun thing to do. We arrived at 6pm to a short 15min queue
Freesoul YMay 3, 2016Singapore Sling started here! The bar is in the amazing Raffles hotel. Definitely should come here for a late night drink. Daytime will be too hot to sit in open place.
A b e l l e 🐢March 19, 2016Singapore Sling of course. Try once and that's all you need in your life. They do have unlimited peanuts so you can stay as long as you want. There is often a queue in tourist season.
Edmund NgMarch 9, 2015Must try the singapore sling. Feel the british sense environment and the romance in the air. I didn't try the food. Hope other recommend the best dish.
Mauren TanakaAugust 3, 2013An old bar with classy vintage design, good music and the most important, their signature original Singapore Sling. If you are underage or don't want alcohol, try their Virgin Sling.
Celine OngOctober 4, 2015I love coming here for their band, great singing and entertainment. The Singapore sling, on the other hand, is a tad too sweet for my liking, all premixed these days.
Gül D.September 10, 2023I tried the Golden Milk Punch, thought it was very well made. We also tried the Singapore Sling, it is a classic. You should try it!
BBB 01auDecember 19, 2019Go early. Long queues for a very expensive drink. No atmosphere and the stay don't seem to enjoy their job. It's simply a cash grab now. We were there 10 years ago and the vibe then was so much better
Ben K.December 26, 2012Like others before me have said the Singapore Sling is so not worth the outlandish $26 price tag. But if you feel you must, order it with Hendrick's.
Fredrik StenbeckAugust 26, 2015They sell 1000 Singapore Sling per day and it is also a lot of alcohol in it, so make no mistake ;) Is it touristic, YES, is it worth going, yes, at least so you can check it off the list.

Gyle CruzFebruary 20, 2011Those with peanut allergies... stay away fron this place! For the sake of your mortal life! :) Peanuts are everywhere! Even on the floor and steps of the staircase leading to the bar...
Trish TanDecember 25, 2012Get the original Singapore sling here and throw peanut shells on the floor without guilt. A rare luxury in Singapore!
Bokyung ParkSeptember 3, 201710% service charge and 7% of GST makes one Singapore Sling $36.5. Is it worth it? Only if you're a tourist Yes!
Rob BilsonAugust 20, 2014Expats and tourists galore. The Singapore Sling might have been invented here, but what they serve today ($30) is a pale stand in made with pre-mixed ingredients.
Matteo PenzoJanuary 6Long line at the entrance. If you just wanna visit without drinking, just skip it.
Paul RasmussenAugust 26, 2015The Singapore sling generally tastes like cough syrup. Strangely, I don't care where it originated, the ones served on Singapore air are much better than raffles.
wernFebruary 7, 2023It's OK to be once in a legendary bar for visitors, getting the vibe& checking inbutNot a place to drink& chill outAnd all drinks are very expensive
VotreX TanDecember 29, 2015Between the original and the special Sling, i prefer the original. Historically it is a ladies' drink though. Hmm...
BeyoncePadThaiJanuary 3, 2016Although it's THE place to get a Singapore Sling, the drinks are mediocre at best. Not worth the money given that there are MUCH better (and cheaper) bars. Good ambiance but it's a tourist trap
Tim HillJanuary 20, 2012Don't drink Singapore sling otherwise you'll look like a tourist. They sell 1000 a day at $25 a time
Kevin ChiuSeptember 8, 2015Super touristy but ya gotta do it. Have a Singapore Sling, throw some peanuts on the floor and never come back😁. Bonus: take an uber black to the front entrance of the hotel and roll in like a boss😎
Mike WhiteApril 23, 2017Home of the Singapore Sling. May be overpriced, but still a great old vibe. Husk your own peanuts, sip the tropical cocktail, and imagine it's 100 years ago.
- BrianJuly 13, 2012Outrageously bad service even by Singapore's low standards. Considering this is a 5 star hotel with 5 star prices ($32 drinks) it's even more difficult to swallow.
Jason Baughman-OpricăMay 10, 2016Get your Singapore Sling so you can say you had one and move on to so many other cooler and cheaper places to drink. A classy hotel, though. Worth seeing.
Dimi PastApril 23, 2011Agree with all the below. Singapure sling shouldnot be considered a cocktail. Disappointing bar
Nikita LukjanovJanuary 12, 2014Overpriced? Yes. But you have to do it! It is an amazing atmosphere of the past. Plus I was lucky to hear the live music upstair, not sure if they play everyday. A definite must do!
CatarinaJuly 23, 2015Drink the original Singapore sling and eat peanuts from the bag. Not cheap (S$31 + tax and service), but it must be done!
Shona GrantDecember 9, 2015Celebrating 100 years of the Singapore Sling. A "must do once" Singapore experience. Do you know why the Singapore Sling was created?
Kathy MatthiesenFebruary 22, 2016Hang out in the bar that created the Sinapore Sling. Casual spot to sit, eat peanuts, and drink cocktails

Home of the Singapore Sling, the earthy decor of this two-storey bar was inspired by the Malayan plantations of the 1920s. In addition to almost every alcoholic and non-alcoholic concoctions imaginable, the bar also serves traditional pub favourites that are available as a meal or snacks.

"Love their concept store in Taipei. Happy that they are available in Sg. Best Taiwanese style pineapple tarts. They are so confident of their product that the taster is one whole piece of tart w/ tea."
