In skyscraper-dense Singapore, rooftop bars are aplenty, but one towers above them all, literally. Located on the 63rd floor of Raffles Place is Nova, perched just above HighHouse. The new bar rises 282 metres above ground and now owns the title of Singapore’s highest rooftop bar. Sweeping city views aside, you certainly won’t miss the colossal steel star structure crowning the building that adds an electrifying, urban glow to the space – a must for pictures.
While you’re more likely to be here for the striking city lights and thumping DJ beats, the food and beverage programme is equally promising, with a focus on flavours around the Pacific Coast. Star cocktails include the mango sticky highball ($20) – inspired by the ever-popular Thai mango sticky rice dessert; the gin-based Trippple Lime Sling ($20); and the Roselle ($22); while peckish diners can snack on tom yum fries and Indonesian-style noodles ($20).
