Sinking a Singapore Sling in The Long Bar, Raffles Hotel, Singapore

There is no better place to sink a Singapore Sling other than the Bar in which it was invented. Step into the Long Bar at the iconic Raffles Hotel and journey back to Singapore's colonial past.

Revel in the atmosphere as tourists review their Singapore experiences and Expats reminisce their war-time exploits.

Relax in a bamboo chair, under the cooling breeze of wicker fans swaying on the ceiling above, as you sip your famous cocktail.

In a city where dropping litter is a crime, the Long Bar has a custom where it is tradition to throw peanut shells on the floor- A surreal yet enjoyable experience.

  1. That’s interesting that the tradition to throw peanut shells on the floor is a custom in the Long Bar. Now I want to check out the Long Bar after reading your post.
