Perched on the seventh floor of The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore, Lantern is a luxe rooftop hideout where you can escape the CBD crowd in style. Named after the red lanterns that once lined Clifford Pier, this intimate poolside bar brings old-world romance into the now, with slick cocktails, sultry lighting, and front-row seats to the stunning Marina Bay skyline.

The vibe

Sink into plush sofas and soak in panoramic views of the Civic District, Marina Bay, and the buzzing CBD. Imagine watching the sunset reflected on the iconic Marina Bay Sands, with the pool shimmering in the glow and a cocktail in hand. As darkness falls, live DJ sets from Wednesdays to Sundays turn the tempo up, transforming this peaceful perch into a sleek, starlit party spot.

The food

Bar bites here mean business – think Sichuan mala sweet potato fries ($16) and spicy Korean wings ($24) to turn up the heat. Craving for more? Sink your teeth into heartier mains like the wagyu beef short rib ($138) and the grilled lobster quesadilla ($46). There are also thoughtful plant-based plates in the mix, so no one gets left behind. Whether you’re grazing or going full feast mode, Lantern’s food menu doesn’t disappoint.

The drink

Draw your eyes to the heart of the bar: a lantern-shaped centrepiece. Here’s where resident bartenders put on a show, shaking up Asian botanical cocktails. Sip on signature pours like the Fullerton Sling ($32), a tropical remix of the classic with gin and cherry liqueur, and the Heritage Negroni ($28), featuring Singapore dry gin and a hint of mandarin tea leaves for a local spin.

Time Out Tip

Come for The Skive Life – Lantern’s daily happy hour special from 4pm to 7pm. Treat yourself to selected drinks from just $10. It’s the best excuse to clock off early.
