I can't agree with anyone who doesn't feel this is a truly special place..nuts yes..Singapore pings yes..ceiling fans yes..but it a different world and the exotic orient that we all want

Just left Raffles with a bad taste in my mouth. Figured I'd better have a world famous S'pore Sling while I'm here... probably never have the chance again. Guaranteed I'll never have one again! Over $30 for a warmish, weak, syrupy (is that a word?) little drink that was pre-made. Why not show a little pride in the history of... More

I had a look through the Long Bar but unfortnately could not get a drink as I had sandals and shorts on. Long pants ans shoes are the order of the day.

Staying at Raffles is probably prohibitive to most people as rooms are very expensive. However paying a visit to the Long Bar just has to be done - a little bit of Colonial Singapore that is very atmospheric!

Unlikely to visit again, recommend to go once for it's... More

I went to the Long Bar with my wife and her sister last year as she had never been to Singapore before - I found it to be atourist trap, over priced with poor service and poor quality Slings. Having vowed not to return I sucumbed and took my daughter....what a surprise! The staff have elevated rudeness to an art... More

Overpriced legendary "Singapore Sling" cocktails; but you have to sip on one when you have out-of-towners visting Singapore, don't you? Most love the novelty of tossing peanut shells on the floor.
