Drinking in Singapore is definitely not cheap. An average price of a pint here is $12 and a cocktail runs between $22 to $30. But that doesn't mean that you can't score a good deal at some of Singapore's top drinking holes. We scour the island for the best happy hour deals so you don't burn a hole in your pocket.

As of early 2026, the cost of a pint of beer in Singapore remains among the highest in the world, largely due to the "Sin Tax" on alcohol. In a standard mid-range restaurant or bar, you can expect to pay between S15andS22 (approx. 11–$16 USD) for a pint of craft or international beer. If you are drinking at a high-end rooftop bar at Marina Bay Sands or in Clarke Quay, prices can easily soar to **S$25 or more**. For those on a budget, "Happy Hours" are a local institution, often bringing prices down to S10–S12.Alternatively,youcanfindalargebottleofdomesticbeer(likeTiger)atalocal∗∗HawkerCentre∗∗foraroundS7 to S$9, which is the most affordable way to enjoy a drink. Keep in mind that many bars also add a 10% service charge and a 9% GST (Goods and Services Tax) to the listed price, which can lead to "sticker shock" when the final bill arrives.
