Gracing Singapore’s vibrant nightlife scene with its glowing presence is the latest scintillating bar in town, Nova. Perched just right above its sister restaurant, HighHouse, the rooftop bar takes the crown of a 63-storey high skyscraper with a breathtaking panoramic view of our city’s concrete jungle.
As you emerge at the top of the staircase, the magnificent skyline is not the only thing that awaits your company. The cool hues of a large light installation illuminates a buzzy atmosphere that transports guests into the magnificent artistic expression of Kuala Lumpur-based artist, Jun Ong, and his interpretation of the supernova phenomenon. Where matter and energy intersect, Ong’s innovative creation converges the gap between the natural glimmers in our ethereal sky and the man-made installation.
The geometric artwork beating at the heart of Nova is reflective of the bar’s central theme—embracing the ethos of creation and self-expression. To honour this spirit, presentations of the bar’s concept are sprinkled across the space.
On the design front, Nova embodies a chic and modern character that melds man-made and natural elements. The walls are clad with steel and aluminium, which starkly contrast with the earthy dark wooden flooring and decorative plants. It ties the space together, offering a sense of familiarity with an avant-garde spin that leaves you in wide-eyed wonder.
Of course, to amp up the ambience further, the neon rays need to be complemented with exceptional music reverberating through the bar. With a DJ booth and a state-of-the-art sound system, Nova balances its futuristic concept with some throwback nostalgic tunes beloved by all. Groove to an eclectic set following the evolution of music—from Afro to World Beats.
General manager of Nova and HighHouse, Wayne Lee, shares, “At Nova, our goal is to enhance the nightlife experience by combining refined culinary offerings with the vibrant energy of electrifying top hits. By drawing up line-ups inspired by music festivals, we strive to offer memorable nights out.”
As you create fond memories on the dance floor with your near and dear, be sure to make time for the culinary delights offered at Nova. Tuck into an array of signature flavours from the Pacific Coast—such as the aromatic Grilled Spanish Octopus coupled with smoked chickpea purée and Thai-spice dressing; the savoury Australian Lamb Ribs paired with garlic and scallion XO; or the scrumptious Ribeye Steak Bites served with red wine sauce, whole grain mustard and sea salt.
To complement its dining slate, Nova presents a wide selection of craft cocktails designed to spoil your taste buds—inspired by Asian flavours with our modern edge. Some of our top picks to indulge in are the Mango Sticky Highball, Triple LimeSling, and Roselle.
Given its exceptionally high vantage point, Nova offers an immersive sensorial experience set to be one of Singapore’s favourite hotspots for a temporary escape to unwind after a hard day at work. From the exceptional quality of its culinary delights to the cosmic ambience, all who step through the doors can expect to enjoy an enchanting evening on this rooftop bar.
