Travel Tips

  • Clarke Quay comes alive after 6 PM; during the daytime, most bars and clubs are closed, though some restaurants serve lunch.
  • Enjoy Happy Hour (usually 5 PM to 8 PM) for cheaper drinks, as alcohol taxes in Singapore are very high.
  • Visit the nearby Boat Quay or Robertson Quay for a slightly quieter, more laid-back dining vibe.
