Think of it as a long and massive terrace rather than a rooftop, complete with outdoor benches, large umbrellas, and subtle candlelights. It’s also a solid spot for chill drinks with friends if you’re looking for someplace quieter than nightclubs. 

Signature cocktails are Lantern’s Slings, which are modern twists to the iconic Singapore Sling. There’s the Fullerton Sling, made with Lime Garden Gin and rose syrup, and the Sydney Sling, which has Australian gin and blood orange juice.
