It might not exactly be the most common cocktail on this side of the world, but an Aperol Spritz is exactly the refreshing drink we need to combat Singapore's crazy levels of heat and humidity. A classic Aperol Spritz is made up of equal parts Aperol – an orange apéritif, dry prosecco, and it’s all tied together with a splash of soda water. If you’re feeling fancy, top it with an orange slice. This ice-cold, bubbly drink is exactly how Italians deal with their 40°C July summers, so perhaps it’s time for us to follow suit.
Now, for the first two weekends of July, join in an Aperol Spritz self-guided bar crawl ($72.50/person) around our little red dot. It’s all held across 20 venues in four districts: Bayfront, Chinatown, East Coast, and Riverwalk. Think of it not only as a bar-hop, but a way to discover the hidden sights of Singapore too since you can choose which of the four districts to explore. With a ticket, you can redeem five glasses of Aperol Spritz – choose to either have it across the five bars of a certain district, or simply have all five drinks at one go at your favourite watering hole.
When joining the Bayfront bar crawl, you can make your way around restaurants and bars like:
- Da Paolo Gastronomia at Marina Bay Sands
- Bayside Drinks & Eats
- Picotin Waterboat House
- Town Restaurant at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore
- Vue
For Chinatown:
- The Guild
- Pocket Rocket
- Alegria
- Potato Head
- Levan
For East Coast:
- Lime House

For the Riverwalk:

Alternatively, you can also follow the guided bar crawl around Bayfront and Riverwalk on July 2 or Chinatown and East Coast on July 9. This is priced at $132 for two tickets, and comes with six Aperol Spritz drinks, three sets of food pairings, and goody bags with a panama hat, sunnies, and an orange drawstring bag.
