Clarke Quay & Riverside Nightlife

Where to Go at Night in Clarke Quay & Riverside

Glittering lights, beautiful people and buzzing bars – these are some of the things that imprint themselves on your mind the first time you visit Clarke Quay. And its great reputation is well warranted; with its kaleidoscope of hip bars and nightspots along the Singapore River, Clarke Quay is certainly a great nightlife location.

Originally a centre of commerce along the Singapore River, Clarke Quay is nowadays a labyrinth of restaurants, concept bars, retail stores and recreation outlets. Clubs like Zirca Mega Club and Attica are famous names on the local night circuit, while restaurants and bars with a mind-boggling selection of themes and attractions round out your choice of after-sunset indulgence.

If you need an adrenaline boost, try the hair-raising GMAX Reverse Bungy – your hair might never look the same again. Join a cooking class at the highly acclaimed Coriander Leaf restaurant, or take a lesson in pewter-shaping at the Royal Selangor School of Hard Knocks. In the mood for some live music? Stroll around and see if you can’t find at least five bars with singers belting out hits.

All in all, Clarke Quay is highly recommended for a great night out in the heart of Singapore!
