Singapore
A riverside cocktail den off Hong Kong Street, the flagship craft brewery at Riverside Point, and the loudest dance rooms on the Singapore River. Nearest stations: Clarke Quay on the North East line and Fort Canning on the Downtown line.
3C River Valley Road. The most recognised name in Singapore nightlife, in The Cannery since 2016, with the Main Room for house and techno plus the RedTail bar for cocktails before the floor fills.
30 Merchant Road. The relaunched flagship of the Brewerkz brewery, pouring its own beers across a long riverside taproom with food until late and a clear view across the water to Clarke Quay.
28 Hongkong Street. An unmarked door a short walk from the river opens onto one of Asia's most decorated cocktail bars, a regular on the Asia's 50 Best Bars list for its precise, spirit-led menu.
20 Upper Circular Road. A basement cocktail bar and art space under The Riverwalk, pairing a serious drinks list with rotating exhibitions and a late club programme on weekends.
28 Boat Quay. The original riverside outlet of the Harry's group, an after-work institution since the 1990s with live jazz, river-facing tables, and a long happy hour.
3A River Valley Road. A long-running Clarke Quay club with an indoor dance floor and an outdoor courtyard, busiest on its midweek ladies' nights and weekend DJ sets.
Clarke Quay sits on the south bank of the Singapore River, a short walk from Boat Quay and the central business district. The drinking here runs from a hidden cocktail bar off Hong Kong Street to a riverside craft brewery and the big late night clubs in the restored godown blocks. Nearest stations: Clarke Quay on the North East line and Fort Canning on the Downtown line.
The cocktail end centres on 28 HongKong Street and the basement room at Canvas, while Brewerkz Riverside Point anchors the beer side and Zouk Singapore runs the dance floors.
