Long Bar

Long Bar sits within the historic Raffles Hotel in Singapore, offering a restaurant and bar setting shaped by tropical plantation design. Its Malayan-inspired interiors recall the 1920s. The space is wheelchair accessible, while peanut shells scattered across the floor create its most distinctive visual detail. Classic cocktails fill the menu, with the Singapore Sling at its centre.

Ngiam Tong Boon created the Singapore Sling there in 1915, combining gin and liqueurs behind a fruit-juice appearance. That disguise reflected social restrictions that once made public drinking unacceptable for women. The bar also serves other classic and signature cocktails alongside its famous creation. Sustainable preparation reduces single-use waste and the cocktail’s carbon footprint through reusable systems and responsible production. The floor’s peanut shells remain the most unexpected detail of this historic Singapore stop.
