The Iconic Long Bar Returns with Exclusive Singapore Sling Offer and Snack Menu

An integral part of Raffles Hotel Singapore’s storied history and home of the Singapore Sling for over a hundred years, Long Bar is excited to reopen its doors from 7 January 2021 for guests to enjoy the most iconic cocktail in the city. Set amidst a lively ambience with plantation-inspired décor and the famous bar counter, a nod to its heritage, Long Bar offers the perfect cosy space for social get-togethers, and celebrations.

To welcome the community back to the legendary bar, Raffles Hotel Singapore is offering an exclusive promotion with every purchase of the Original Singapore Sling (S$35++). Available from 7 January till 31 March 2021, guests who order an Original Singapore Sling are entitled to an additional complimentary Original Singapore Sling or one snack of their choice from the Asian-inspired bar bites menu.

The snacks menu will offer a selection of Asian small plates including authentic Singaporean delights such as Singapore Chilli Crab Cake (S$22++), made with succulent crabmeat and chilli crab sauce, Spicy Tiger Prawns (S$16++), enveloped with sweet and sour sauce accompanied with a refreshing green papaya salad, and more. Guests can also indulge in the “Long Bar” Chocolate Peanut Bar (S$15++), from the menu, a nod to the unique Long Bar experience of snacking on peanuts from a gunny sack.

In addition to the beloved Singapore Sling, there are also a range of cocktail variations that offer a twist on the iconic concoction, such as the refreshing Sakura Sling (S$29++), an exotic blend signifying friendship and the renewal of spring made with Dasai 50 Sake, Calvados, St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur Hibiscus and Cayenne Cordial, Green Chartreuse; or the exquisite Vintage Sling (S$188++), made with private collection vintage spirits from the 1950s, the era when the Singapore Sling was becoming a global icon.

 Guests can also choose from a selection Straits Classic Cocktails, historical recipes from the Straits Settlements and some of the favourite international cocktails, remixed with authentic local flavours, such as Gin Pahit (S$26++), the Malayan style gin and tonic, or Sour Plum Mojito (S$26++), a refreshing take on the iconic Cuban cocktail, remixed with a favourite local drink. The Long Bar also offers a curated selection of wines, beers and spirits.
