The Magic Bar is a bar at 2 Havelock Road, #01-11, Havelock 2, Clarke Quay, Singapore. It holds a perfect 5.0 Google rating from 1,231 reviews, which is rare for that many opinions.
A good bar does a few things well: it makes balanced drinks, keeps the room comfortable enough to talk in, and has staff who read the table and suggest something suited to your taste. If you are not sure what to order, tell the bartender which flavours you like, such as citrus, bitter or smoky, and let them choose. Clarke Quay is one of Singapore's busiest nightlife areas, so Friday and Saturday evenings fill up quickly, and arriving early or booking ahead helps. Regulars also check whether there is a cover charge, a dress code or a minimum spend before heading out, and keep an eye on the sky if the seating is outdoors, as Singapore showers can arrive suddenly.
For anyone out around Clarke Quay, The Magic Bar on Havelock Road is a very highly rated place for a drink.
