As Singapore turns 60, the city readies itself for a time of celebration unlike any other. This milestone isn’t just marked by parties—it’s a tribute to our people, our spirit, and the stories that shape us. Whether you’re drawn to an elegant atmosphere with panoramic views or a sparkling party spot where the cocktails flow and the bass thumps, there’s a dining destination for every kind of celebration.

Sushi Samba
Let the festivities unfold high above the city at Sushi Samba’s Sunset Hour, where views of the Singapore Straits are only rivalled by the sky’s dramatic transformation at dusk. As golden hour deepens, the night unfolds in beats, colour, and celebration. Toast to Singapore with a Lychee Blossom cocktail before diving into the restaurant’s signature blend of Japanese, Brazilian, and Peruvian flavours.

A sensorial feast of culture, cuisine, and sound to mark the national milestone.

With panoramic views that sweep from Marina Bay Sands to the Parliament House, this fully alfresco gem delivers an atmosphere that’s both stylish and effortlessly laid-back.

Perched atop at The Fullerton Bay Hotel, Lantern takes its name from the historic “Red Lantern Pier” and delivers an experience just as evocative. Surrounded by an infinity lap pool and lush greenery, this rooftop bar offers unbeatable views of the Marina Bay waterfront.

Playful, free-spirited, and kissed by coastal charm, Jypsy One Fullerton brings a breezy take on Japanese cuisine—with postcard-perfect views of Marina Bay to match. Set right along the water at One Fullerton, the alfresco terrace provides the perfect backdrop to the restaurant’s curated set menu. Taste the Hokkaido hotate ceviche, and the savoury miso barramundi on a bed of seafood risotto. And end the meal on a gentle, citrusy high with their signature yuzu tofu cheesecake. Pair it with a their signature pandan-infused cocktail, and you’ve got yourself a celebration that’s stylish, spirited, and wonderfully laidback.
