I visit Raffles about once a month & always look forward to it. There are 2 highlights that make the 5-Star prices feel like a bargain...
1. Every day Happy Hour 5-8pm, offering unlimited consumption of almost everything including Singapore Sling & acceptable House Wines, and a token food sampler that is smaller than it once was. Decent live renditions of past & present hits adds to the experience way beyond Happy Hour.
2. Outdoor Bar with excellent City views, cool turntable sounds & buzzy staff who make you feel welcome enough to let them add-sell & up-sell you.
Bravo!
