Best Happy Hour Deals in Singapore (2026)
Happy hour is where a Singapore night out actually becomes affordable — 1-for-1 pours, $5 drinks, dollar-ish oysters — if you catch the window. Most deals run the early-evening 5–8pm slot on weekdays, though a few pour cheap all day. Here are the ones worth timing your evening around, verified for September 2026. One caveat up front: happy hours change constantly, so confirm the deal and timing with the bar before you head down.

Where to head, and when
Cheapest pour: Five Bar at Cuppage keeps drinks at $5 all day, and Sque runs 1-for-1 beers ($12.50) for most of the day — the two to know when you just want cheap and easy.
The proper cocktail bars: Jigger & Pony, Live Twice and Humpback are award-list bars that get genuinely affordable in the early-evening window — the smart move for a good drink without the full price.
For a view: Southbridge pours cheap on its Boat Quay rooftop (Mon–Thu 5–8pm, and all day Sunday) — hard to beat for golden hour over the river.
Late 1-for-1: No. 5 Emerald Hill runs 1-for-1 martinis after 9pm, for when happy hour everywhere else has closed.
Catch the window: most happy hours run 5–8pm and end sharply — arrive before last-order for the deal. A few (Five Bar, Sque, Humpback) pour cheap all day, and Southbridge extends to all-day Sunday. Prices and timings shift often, so it’s worth a quick check before you commit.
