Book with PearlWhy go
Writers Bar is worth choosing for a quieter, more polished Singapore cocktail night, especially if conversation matters as much as the drinks. The literary concept gives the menu a clear point of view, while the Raffles setting keeps the experience refined rather than nightlife-heavy. Better for dates, solo travelers, calm catch-ups than large groups.
About Writers Bar
Writers Bar is a Singapore venue with a simple profile: evening hours, a smart casual dress code, a price of $40 per person. Beyond those basics, specific claims about its setting, menu, drinks programme, food, awards, or service format should be confirmed directly with the venue.
A Singapore venue for evening plans
The clearest reason to consider Writers Bar is its schedule. It opens at 5 PM daily, runs until 11 PM from Monday to Thursday and on Sunday, stays open until 11:30 PM on Friday and Saturday. That makes it an evening option rather than a lunch venue.
Because only limited information is available, plan around the confirmed basics rather than assumptions about cuisine, signature drinks, seating style, or atmosphere. For broader planning around the city, the Singapore bars guide can help you compare other options generically.
What to know before you go
The price point is $40 per person. The dress code is smart casual, so plan for an evening visit with a neat, put-together standard of dress.
If dinner is the priority, start with the Singapore restaurants guide and treat Writers Bar as a potential evening stop rather than assuming it can anchor a full meal.
Who should choose it, who should skip it
Choose Writers Bar if the confirmed details fit your plan: Singapore location, evening opening hours, smart casual dress, a $40-per-person price point. It may work well when you want a direct evening option and are comfortable confirming any finer details directly before visiting.
Skip it if you need specifics on menu, seating, food, accessibility, group capacity, or a particular drinks programme before committing. For a wider Singapore trip, pair this decision with the Singapore hotels guide. The practical verdict: use Writers Bar when the hours, price, dress code match your evening plans.

How Writers Bar compares in Singapore
Choose Writers Bar when the priority is a quieter hotel-bar mood and an easygoing booking decision. Long Bar is the more obvious heritage play, while Anti:Dote is a stronger cross-shop for a sharper cocktail-bar feel. Writers Bar is the safer fit for conversation; those two are better when the bar itself needs to carry the night.
The Eight and Cloud 9 make more sense for readers choosing by scene first, especially if the group wants a livelier room. Writers Bar is easier to recommend for two people than for a crowd because the value is in the calmer ambiance, not in big-table energy.
If Writers Bar is unavailable, start with Last Word for a more cocktail-focused alternative, then check Anti:Dote if the plan calls for a polished hotel setting with a stronger drinks-program emphasis. For travelers comparing beyond Singapore, Pearl also covers ¡BE! Club in San Sebastián, a '70s-inspired bar in Sydney, and 'a veo veo yu in Alishan.
