6 Singapore Bars That Offer Free Drinks with Amex Platinum Credit Card

Here's how you can get free drinks in Singapore on a night out (without flirting with the bartender).

Since the cocktail renaissance of 2011, Singapore’s bars have become more vibrant and adventurous, each promising drinks that differ. But the pleasure of sampling these world-class tipples has a price.

Expect to pay S$12+ for a craft beer or S$20++ for a fancy cocktail by the bar’s star mixologist. Depending on how much you can drink, and how fussy you are about what you drink, a night out can cost anywhere from S$50 to S$300.

We’ve already shown you how the American Express Platinum Card can save you 50% off Singapore’s best restaurants.

This very same card also gets you complimentary cocktails, 1-for-1 deals, or 10% off your total bill at Singapore’s trendiest bars. Check them out below:

Ah Sam Cold Drink Stall

Ah Sam Cold Drink Stall stands out among the tourist traps in Boat Quay, and not just because of its distinctive name. Manned by Sam Wong, formerly from Jigger and Pony, this cosy, unpretentious bar serves an exciting selection of bespoke cocktails. “Bespoke” isn’t just a trendy marketing term here; Ah Sam has no menu, so let the bartender know what you’re in the mood for to receive a custom drink.

Anti:dote

The Fairmont Hotel’s resident bar keeps cocktail hour classy with its ambient lighting, snappy service, and award-winning drinks. While there’s a variety of liquor to choose from, handcrafted cocktails like The Mariner’s Julep and Spice Road are real gems, made from fresh ingredients from the hotel’s own herb garden. Anti:dote’s bartenders accept off-menu requests too, so if you want something specific, ask and they’ll recreate it!
