Now look, people, all of you who were expecting Allen Quartermain sitting in a noisey corner welcoming you with free drinks, get a life! The Long Bar is a classic colonial bar. Well preserved and professionally staffed. Sure the drinks are a bit overpriced, but what would one expect from a prime tourist site. Nonetheless, the atmosphere is relaxing beyond... more

The famous sling is too pricey (over SG$23) and is not particularly good. The environment is very ordinary. Once is surely more than enough. more

Our next stop was the Raffles Hotel, an old colonial landmark opened in 1890. We had lunch at the Long Bar and tried the "Singapore Sling", a beverage that started at Raffles many years ago.

It's a busy bar. Didn't stay long. There is also an exhibit on the history of the Raffles Hotel on the 3rd floor, take a... more

I was so jet-lagged while I was here it was almost hallucinatory, but it was really beautiful. Very casual and colonial. It's part of the Raffles Hotel. Throw your ground-nut shells on the floor as you're munching on the peanut-like snacks, just like Conrad and Kipling did. Sink into a rattan chair and relax, try a really expensive Singapore Sling... more
