ANGIE’S OYSTER BAR
Not only does this place boast one of the most gorgeous views in Singapore, it also serves the most amazing seafood platters (there is also a S$1++ oyster deal from 6pm to 8pm on weekdays). Plus, who can resist the $10++ cocktail coolers (including Rosemary G&Ts, Dirty Sangrias and Raspberry Juleps) that starts from 8pm daily. The view from the top is complementary and we’re pretty sure it gets better with every drink you order.

It could be the beautiful and grand art deco interior that transports you to a different era, the laidback alfresco area that’s perfect to watch the sun go down or perhaps it’s the $9++ house pours, house wines and draft beers as well as $2++ oysters (available from 5pm to 8pm) that signal the start of a good night ahead.
