What Makes a Speakeasy on a Rooftop Special
The charm of a rooftop speakeasy lies in its balance of exclusivity and exposure. You’re high above the buzz of city noise, yet under open sky. Decorations are moody: dim lighting, vintage or craft details, private seating nooks. Drinks are often signature mixes—bespoke, craft, experimental. Doors may be hidden, access by RSVP or invite, with a small guest list. This setup naturally fosters intimate conversation, relaxed networking, and memorable moments.
Rooftop Bars in Singapore to Watch for Hidden Speakeasy Vibes
Singapore has several rooftop bars that, during high-profile weeks like TOKEN2049, are likely to host or transform into speakeasy-style popup events. Some are well known; others are more secret:
- CÉ LA VI SkyBar, Marina Bay Sands: Iconic rooftop with panoramic views, often booked for VIP evenings or themed happenings. Its SkyBar section offers a luxury setting that can hide pop-ups behind request or word-of-mouth invitations.
- Smoke & Mirrors, National Gallery Rooftop: Has artful interiors, skyline exposure, and a sophisticated but not flashy atmosphere. Perfect candidate for speakeasy-style activations with tighter guest lists and creative cocktails.
- MO BAR, Mandarin Oriental: With its elegant aesthetic, drink craft, and views of Marina Bay, MO BAR is often a backdrop for elevated meetups and invite-only evenings. It rarely hosts open large crowds late at night, making it suitable for more secret, refined social gatherings.
- Lantern at The Fullerton Bay Hotel: Although not always “hidden,” its high vantage and stylish ambiance encourage intimate gatherings. During conference weeks, requests or known curator events might turn certain nights into exclusive speakeasy-style sessions.
- Jigger & Pony: More about cocktail mastery and nuanced mood. Though not always rooftop, it’s one of the bars that sets the tone for speakeasy meets—expect off-menu drinks, word-of-mouth invites, small rooms upstairs for members or private bookings.
How to Discover the Secret Speakeasies & Get Access
Here are tactics to find and access these rooftop hidden gems during TOKEN2049:
- Follow Curated Side-Event Lists & Unofficial Calendars
Platforms listing side events and party nights often drop listings for “invite only”, “popup”, “rooftop”, “secret lounge” etc. Keep an eye on TOKEN2049 Week’s events calendar for “Party/Dinner” categories with RSVP tags. - Network & Ask Insiders
Founders, speakers, or brand reps often know about unofficial rooftop speakeasy nights. Ask during panels or lounge breaks. Sometimes access is limited to those who know someone; being in the right conversation can unlock invitations. - RSVP Early & Confirm Details
Hidden speakeasies often have RSVP windows, door codes, or private entries. Some rooftop bars will require you to specify entrance through service lifts, by host confirmation, or by knowing password or code. Prepare ahead. - Dress & Arrive with Intent
Speakeasy nights often have dress codes or curated guestlists. Some rooftop bars favor smart casual or evening chic. Arriving a bit early helps you avoid being turned away at the door because of capacity. Also, respectful behavior helps; these nights value ambiance. - Leverage Project Hosting or Sponsorship
If you or your DAO/project sponsor side-events or rooftop meetups, you might influence or host a speakeasy-style experience. Projects sometimes partner with venues to bring curated cocktail lists, lighting, music to create hidden vibes. Hosting a small gathering can give you control over guest list and tone.

What to Expect When You’re There
Expect some trade-offs but also many rewards:
- Secrecy and Logistics: Doors might look plain. You may enter through service entrances, unmarked lifts, or side doors. Accept that some access paths are designed to preserve mystery.
- Limited Capacity: Spaces are smaller, often bottlenecked by capacity or by permit, especially for rooftops. RSVP or know someone to vouch for you will help.
- Curated Experience: Cocktail menus may include off-list items. DJs may be local, music more ambient or chill earlier in the night. Lighting will lean moody, decor may include thematic decor or live art.
- Cost: Drinks tend to be pricier in rooftop & speakeasy settings. A single well-crafted cocktail might cost more than at ground bar. Consider ordering signature or house specials to get more value.
- Moments & Memories: These nights tend to produce memorable snapshots—views, conversations, unique cocktails. Great for photos, for social memory, for follow-ups later.

Suggested Strategy to Incorporate Speakeasies into Your TOKEN2049 Schedule
To make the most of speakeasy nights without burning out:
Start with one early evening speakeasy or rooftop cocktail (e.g. just before sunset) to capture the golden hour views and less crowded feel.
Schedule another speakeasy-style night later in the week, especially after the official closing party or major panels—these are when hosts sometimes shift into more curated, secret sets.
Spread these out so that you have energy and recovery time—silent dinner → rooftop speakeasy → back to hotel or calm lounge.
Document discreetly: take photos, note names, capture menu items. They become great follow-up stories or social touchpoints.
