This famous shopping belt also harbours some great clubs. Venom (Pacific Plaza Penthouse, 9 Scotts Road, 7347677) boasts a state-of-the-art
dance floor and a sweeping view of Orchard Road. The theme changes
every night, and the music ranges from pop to retro to house. The
crowd -- well-heeled and chic.
For a touch of soft sophistication, go to Brix (Basement
Level, 10-12 Scotts Road 7307107), which is situated in the luxurious
Grand Hyatt Hotel. The underground place is lit up with candles,
and the décor is warm and woody. The pub's resident band plays every
day, and the place also has a great wine bar. Another trendy spot
is Bar None (320 Orchard Road, 831 4656) at The Marriot Hotel.
Bar None's resident band, Energy, is often said to be Singapore's
best homegrown music group.
If
you can't get over the '80s, there's Sparks (391, Orchard
Road, Ngee Ann City Shopping Centre, 7356133). This huge entertainment
complex houses a dance floor where retro music booms loud and clear,
as well as many karaoke rooms. If you've never tried karaoke, there's
no better time to do so. The rooms are bookable by the hour, and
sound-proof.
For a cosy environment, head for the Emerald Hill part of Orchard
Road. Here, Peranakan-style shophouses allow you to cradle a glass
of Beaujolais at the Que Pasa wine bar (7 Emerald Hill, 2356626),
or a mug of frothy Tiger at No. 5 (5, Emerald Hill, 7320818)
or Ice Cold Beer (Emerald Hill, 7359929). The latter's specialty
is beer - it has over 35 varieties -- chilled in ice tanks. There's
also the carnival-like atmosphere of Papa Joe's (180, Orchard
Road, Peranakan Place) with its colourful décor and catchy dance
music. A top expatriate hang-out.
