Wir hatten einen grossartigen Abend in der Bar! Die Beratung von Gregor war ausgezeichnet und nett! Das ganze Team war super nett und lustig. Auf jeden Fall hingehen!

An unforgettable brunch experience at Writers Bar, Raffles Hotel Singapore! Every dish was crafted fresh on the spot, bursting with flavor and elegance. The drinks were pure artistry — creative, perfectly balanced, and indulgent. A huge applause to Constantine and his outstanding team for their impeccable service, warm hospitality, and attention to every detail. Truly a world-class experience that exceeded all expectations!

原本設立於大廳，後於幾年前移到現址，和Raffles的其他幾個bar一樣是對外開放，就歷史性來說自然遠及不上Long Bar，以Raffles自豪的曾為不少大作家如Kipling、Maugham、Conrad下榻的歷史來說，當年這些作家若要造訪Raffles的bar比較有可能是去Long Bar(Maugham的”The Letter”中的Million Dollar Cocktail就是由Long Bar創造的新加坡司令)，不過現今Raffles想要透過Writers Bar而非觀光客勝地Long Bar強調推廣其文學作家的歷史與heritage，這可由Writers Bar的名稱直覺得知，且Writers Bar也在近年Raffles設立的Writer in Residence program(駐村計畫)中扮演要角，在這樣的背景之下現在的Writers Bar會有華麗的環境設計就不太意外了，除了運用Raffles Hotel既有的古典殖民大建物結構例如立柱與拱門窗(這在其他飯店比較無法匹敵，是Raffles的bar的天生優勢)外，還在Palm Court旁設置了一個半戶外的陽台座席區與吧台，不那麼炎熱的時分(是說新加坡有這種時候？😆)在那兒一邊欣賞庭院綠意和殖民建築的美一邊來一杯cocktail，據說可以有助於作家的靈感巧思(?)。作為Raffles推廣文學傳承的主場域之一，Writers Bar另一賣點則是inspired by一些造訪過酒店的作家及其作品所創製的雞尾酒，可惜這次無緣一嚐，再訪Raffles時定要將這些文學作品和與其連結的cocktail作為重點探訪事物之一。 (Translated by Google) Originally established in the lobby, it was moved to its current location a few years ago. It is open to the public like several other bars in Raffles. It is naturally far less historic than Long Bar. Raffles is proud to have stayed with many great writers such as Kipling, Maugham, and Conrad. If these writers wanted to visit Raffles's bar, it is more likely that they would go to Long Bar (the Million Dollar Cocktail in Maugham's "The Letter" was made by Long Bar). Singapore Sling created by Bar), but now Raffles wants to emphasize the history and heritage of its literary writers through Writers Bar instead of the tourist resort Long Bar. This can be intuitively known from the name of Writers Bar, and Writers Bar has also played an important role in the Writer in Residence program established by Raffles in recent years. Against this background, it is not surprising that the current Writers Bar will have a gorgeous environmental design. In addition to using Raffles In addition to the existing classical colonial building structures such as columns and arched windows (which are unmatched by other hotels and are the natural advantages of Raffles' bar), the Hotel also has a semi-outdoor balcony seating area and bar next to the Palm Court. When it is not so hot (do you mean there is such a time in Singapore? 😆) you can enjoy a cocktail there while admiring the greenery of the courtyard and the beauty of the colonial architecture. It is said that it can help the writer's inspiration and ingenuity (?). As one of the main areas of Raffles to promote literary heritage, another selling point of Writers Bar is the cocktails inspired by some writers and their works that have visited the hotel. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the chance to try it this time. When you visit Raffles again, you must make these literary works and the cocktails connected to them one of the key things to visit.

Fabulous and fun staff! Gregor was great! They knew our drink orders before we did! Always made sure we had enough snacks and always had a drink in hand. The staff had great photography skills too. Pricey but worth it! Great team work behind the bar! The atmosphere was super sexy.
