Level33
The world’s highest urban microbrewery, standing at 149 meters, and officially recognized by Guinness World Records.

The wraparound terrace offers unobstructed views of Marina Bay and the Singapore skyline. And yes, you can actually tour the brewery while sipping their signature brews.

Other tasty bar bites meet a good selection of bubbly and wines, as well as an impressive array of crafted cocktails. The beautiful setting is both cozy and intimate, with a soft vibe and friendly service.

Lantern Bar
Lantern Bar at the Fullerton Bay Hotel offers a low-level rooftop view (complete with a fabulous rooftop pool) that is worth a visit for its different angle to admire the beautiful Marina Bay waterfront and the Singapore skyline.
