Excellent Singapore Sling, but expensive. Still worth getting one!

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Hotel Bar is very nice and reminiscent of Colonial Days. A Singapore Sling is $32 and not amazing, so be prepared for a large bill for average cocktails. We also had cocktails at the top of the Marina Bay Sands and it was a better experience.
