Singapore’s Long Bar Doesn’t Fine Its Patrons For Littering Unlike The Govt!
Welcome to the luxurious and historic Raffles Singapore that houses the iconic Long Bar where you don’t have to worry about accidental or intentional littering!

Forget all about the rigid littering laws of Singapore, only to toss your peanut shells on the ground without the fear of being judged or fined!

A pile of litter will be near your table but that’s how they roll despite being an iconic landmark in this country. It is about to be nuts in here; however, this is not the only attraction here!
Singapore Slings And A Nutty Behaviour!
Long Bar opened its doors to the public in 1915 and since then, they have served delicious drinks to its patrons day and night! Then came the city’s famed cocktail, Singapore Slings, a pink-coloured gin-based drink that changed the cocktail scenes entirely and has been unstoppable since then!
The latest renovations of this bar in Singapore will easily transport you back to the early 20th century. The punkah fans adorn the ceilings with dark interiors and simple white and cream colours that perfectly complement the space. Long Bar feels modern with a hint of old charm which is packed with great drinks and a small sack of peanuts.
A regular bar going-individual is aware of the fact that bars offer salted peanuts as bar munchies. However, here this bar in Singapore will serve you a sack of peanuts straight away! It is not just a bar munchies but also an option for littering here. Indeed a little out-of-the-box trick.
