Great stuff. Thanks guys.

Glad to hear pan pacific is good. Last time we did a city thing it was Hong Kong and RC, but this time our agent suggested we tried pan Pacific so we have. Hopefully it's as good! I told them it was my 30th so interested to see if they do anything special.

That level 33 looks right up my street. Will definitely book for a meal one night. Awesome smile

Really disappointed to hear about raffles to be honest. Will probably still go as I think it's on the mrs bucket list. But just have one and then sack it off. What a shame.

Good to hear about the clubs. Any in particular amazing?
I echo the comments on the Long Bar...terrible trap with overpriced and nasty Singapore Slings.

Zouk is the obvious one, also there is one called Bang Bang actually at the Pan Pacific

Bang bang looks cool as hell but has horrendous reviews it seems. Do residents get free entry? Will risk it if so but not spending $50 to stay 5 minutes and realise it sucks.

Zouk looks pretty cool too and pretty crazy. Not what I was expecting. Decent!

Gutted to hear about raffles! Victims of their own success I suppose. Shame.

Thought I'd bump this for any final advice as leaving in a week or so.

Just booked a table at Atlas bar for afternoon tea and then cocktails/fizz. Looks absolutely incredible. I'm a sucker for anything art deco.

Any decent galleries or museums in SG that haven't been mentioned. There's something in the batman building about sharks which looks cool.

Incredibly excited.

Just noticed that on my previous post I didn't recommend a couple of places to go for a drink....

The Swissotel bar has already been mentioned, it's good but I preferred 1-Altitude at the top of the one Raffles building - I might be slightly biased as my office was in that building but the views from there are great.

Also, although the infinity pool at MBS is only open to residents the old Ku-De-Ta bar (now called Ce La Vi) is open to non-residents and often gets a lovely fresh breeze of an evening.
If you fancy a decent Chinese, the best I've had anywhere in World was at Jin Shan Lou on the ground floor of Tower 2 at MBS
