9 places, each checked to be open, with the nearest MRT and the price.
@ Cafe Nesuto Marina Bay Sands

@ ArtScience Museum
Marina Bay, Singapore
The lotus shaped museum rotates exhibitions that mix art, science and tech, which gives you something to react to together. Check what is on before you go; one exhibition takes about an hour.
After: Coffee or dessert at Cafe Nesuto in The Shoppes, a short walk away.
6 Bayfront Avenue, Singapore 018974 · Map
@ CÉ LA VI
Marina Bay, Singapore
The SkyBar on top of Marina Bay Sands charges a cover that includes one drink, so one round with the view is a set, predictable spend. It gets loud and club like late at night, so an early evening visit is better for talking.
After: Supertree Grove for the Garden Rhapsody light show.

@ Helix Bridge and Marina Bay waterfront promenade
Marina Bay, Singapore
A free loop around the bay from the Helix Bridge past the Esplanade to the Merlion takes about 45 minutes at an easy pace. Walking side by side takes pressure off eye contact, and the skyline gives you plenty to talk about.
After: Satay and local plates at Makansutra Gluttons Bay beside the Esplanade.
Helix Bridge, Raffles Avenue, Singapore 039799 · Map
@ Super Loco Customs House
Marina Bay, Singapore
Waterfront tables facing Marina Bay Sands, with tacos and guacamole that are easy to share. It is lively rather than hushed, so it suits a relaxed, casual first date.
After: A walk along the bay to the Merlion.
70 Collyer Quay, #01-04 Customs House, Singapore 049323 · Map
@ DBS Foundation Outdoor Theatre, Esplanade
Marina Centre, Singapore

1 Esplanade Drive, Singapore 038981 · Map
@ LeVeL33
Marina Bay, Singapore
A microbrewery on the 33rd floor, certified by Guinness World Records in 2025 as the highest in a building. Ask for a terrace table and a tasting paddle to share; the bay view does the work.
After: A walk down to the waterfront promenade toward the Helix Bridge.
