Beyond its high-end event and conference venues, Singapore enhances the experience for MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions) delegations with various after-hours activities and services. Visitors can relax and engage in networking opportunities to foster new partnerships.

Areas like Marina Bay, Clarke Quay, and Sentosa host numerous social and networking spots that are easily accessible from MICE event centers across the island, thanks to Singapore's modern transport network. For a more dynamic atmosphere, rooftop bars, lounges, or bayfront bars offer comfortable and inviting spaces.

Ce La Vi: A rooftop bar with panoramic Marina Bay views

Located on the 57th floor of the SkyPark at Marina Bay Sands, Ce La Vi provides sweeping views of Marina Bay and the city skyline. This outdoor restaurant and bar space flexibly transitions from a daytime dining area to a vibrant night lounge. For MICE groups, this model allows for extended discussions after main programs, such as small group conversations during dinner or larger social gatherings, without needing to change locations. This seamless experience helps maintain connections and facilitates natural conversations.

LeVeL33: A craft brewery on the 33rd floor

Another elevated option, LeVeL33 is a craft brewery situated on the 33rd floor of the Marina Bay Financial Centre. It was once recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's highest urban microbrewery.

The venue features wood materials and amber tones, with copper brewing systems serving as interior design focal points. The fresh beer here is produced using a blend of traditional techniques and modern technology. The menu includes five main beer styles: IPA, traditional stout, experimental stout, wheat beer, and fruit-infused lager.

Additionally, the "ContemBrewery cuisine" menu, which combines classic refined cuisine with craft beer, is suitable for small group meetings or informal gatherings. Unlike nightclubs or high-end restaurants, LeVeL33 offers a balanced environment where partners can engage in deeper conversations in an open atmosphere. Its central location also ensures easy access for MICE groups traveling from nearby hotels or convention centers.

Boaters Bar: A floating bar at Sentosa Cove

Nestled within the luxurious One15 Marina Sentosa Cove yacht club, Boaters Bar offers a unique waterfront dining experience with sunset views over Sentosa Cove marina. Its open, nature-inspired setting provides a distinct, slower-paced, and more peaceful ambiance compared to the city center. This makes Boaters Bar a preferred choice for MICE groups seeking a change of scenery after intensive conference schedules.

The bar serves modern tapas and grilled dishes, including black angus beef skewers and soft-shell crab, alongside a variety of cocktails. The menu is designed for light post-conference networking, allowing MICE guests to converse in a relaxed environment. For groups staying or hosting events on Sentosa, traveling to Boaters Bar is convenient, making it ideal for intimate networking sessions where guests can connect in a comfortable yet refined setting.

Lantern: A rooftop bar in the Fullerton heritage district

Lantern is located on the 6th floor of The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore, overlooking Marina Bay and the central skyline. This venue is part of the Fullerton district, known for its heritage architecture and proximity to financial centers and luxury hotels. Consequently, MICE groups can transition from conference programs to networking spaces within minutes on foot.

The name Lantern is inspired by the historical name of Clifford Pier – "Red Lantern Pier," which once welcomed immigrants and sailors to Singapore. Also on the rooftop are an infinity pool, an outdoor lounge, and a bar designed in the shape of a lantern. The terrace offers both outdoor and sheltered areas, suitable for various purposes, from small group discussions to networking. The drink menu features traditional cocktails such as the Singapore Sling and mojito.
