1Altitude Bar with an Attitude (Singapore)

Many people love the view from the top overlooking the vastness of the world. For others, it’s a welcome break that not just literally plucks you out of the world below which is your daily reality but also psyches you up with a feeling that there is a way out of the drudgery.  For others, it is a way to reflect on the endless possibilities beyond what they eye can see. While for some, it is just plain fun.

Whatever your reasons are, 1Altitude is a must-go. If you are a tourist and you only have one night to spend in a bar, make sure 1Altitude is your stop.

In business, you have to ensure that you offer something unique to your customers, an edge that distinguishes you from your competitors. 

1Altitude makes you see the difference.

The Gallery Bar is at 282 meters and provides a good 360-degree view of the city of Singapore.  Look around and you’ll see Marina Bay Sands, the Singapore Flyer, the Esplanade, China Town, Singapore River and even the famous universities in Singapore.

If you’re hungry, the food selection is sumptuous. We had buffalo wings and thin crust Portobello pizza which tasted divine. And for the price? I don’t really see a lot of difference from other mid-range restaurants. You can have a nice dinner at SGD30 per pax. 

A live band was playing and the selection of songs you can request range from oldies to newbies. It was just amazing. Although the Gallery is not officially a dance floor, it did not stop people from dancing to tasteful music.

Wednesdays are ladies’ night, so ladies walk in for free. I didn’t see this advertised in their website so I thought it has to be mentioned. There are no free drinks, though.

So here are the things to do at 1Altitude.

1. Relax - let go of your worries. Wind down to great view, music and food. Bring your friends along for a better night adventure. 
2. Take great pictures - for memories, for blogs, for instagram. If you'll be there at night, make sure you bring a camera/smart phone with good night mode functions.
3. Party - wear your dancing shoes and groove to the music. Ladies, if you can, don't wear stilettos so you don't slip into any of those tiny spaces between the floorboards. If you must wear high shoes, platforms or wedges are good.  
4. Romance - This could be considered one of the great date night destinations. There are tables which can be reserved to the couple can enjoy a little more privacy if desired. And I guess proposing on top of the world's highest alfresco bar can be romantic.
