WHAT makes a good evening out is subject to personal taste, but surely you cannot dispute that a breathtaking view, laid-back atmosphere, exceptional service and of course, good company will ensure a pleasurable evening to say the least. Esplanade Roof Terrace‘s newest tenant, Orgo (short for Organic Chemistry), ticks all the boxes.

Situated at the roof terrace, the bar offers an unobstructed view of the city skyline as well as the sparkling lights of the ongoing construction of the Marina Bay Sands. Once the integrated resort is completed, it will be arguably the best view in the city that you can get while enjoying a relaxing drink or two. The clever use of open space combined with interchangeable glass and metal structures utilises the surrounding view as part of the interior decor, offering all customers the same humbling view of the towering city skyscrapers.

If you prefer having a chat with friends without having to fight with the jarring music for their attention, you will appreciate the comfort of Orgo’s music offerings. While loud enough to set the mood for the evening, you won’t have to try too hard to be heard over the music even if you’re seated directly in front of the speakers.

The drinks all but speak for themselves, with subtle flavours brought out by the fresh ingredients used by Orgo’s celebrity Japanese mixologist Tomoyuki Kitazoe, who tries to replace processed ingredients with fresh produce wherever possible.

Service at Orgo is outstanding, and every effort is made to personalise your experience there. Founder Nick Yen himself takes the time to engage with customers, and do not be surprised if you find your order being anticipated by the staff if you are a regular enough customer.

With Orgo offering almost the complete recipe to a good evening, all you will need to do is bring along some good company and get ready to enjoy the night.
