12 Best Nightlife in Clarke Quay and Riverside

Love it or hate it, Attica is up there with Singapore’s most popular clubs. Easily reachable on Clarke Quay’s waterfront, Attica epitomises a certain type of Singapore venue, one in which fashionistas come to look pretty, chart-friendly tunes appease the masses, and young professionals let their money do most of the talking.

To give credit where it’s due, Attica’s recently revamped interior certainly looks the part, and they do occasionally play host to some international names like Paul Oakenfold. It’s huge too, and with four different areas, you can easily switch to the more underground-feeling hip-hop, house and electronic zones if you get bored with the party pop soundtrack in the main room.

Serious about your dance music? Then you should probably take note of Zouk, Singapore’s first real super club. It's always been at the forefront of the nightlife scene in the country, welcoming pioneering local DJs, as well as big-hitting international names like David Guetta, The Chemical Brothers and Tiesto.

You’ll find a mixed crowd, most of whom couldn’t care less about the price of your brand of vodka, but rather who’s on the night’s line-up. The venue is comprised of various interconnecting clubs and zones allowing revellers to switch areas with ease (most just refer to the whole complex as ‘Zouk’). The massive converted warehouse-club can be found upriver from Clarke Quay on Jiak Kim Street.

Renowned for its live jazz acts, Harry’s @ Boat Quay is the first flagship venue of the restaurant and bar group that has several other branches spread throughout Singapore.

Besides live jazz, you can also order beer on tap while watching live sports feeds ranging from rugby to Formula One racing. At the Boat Quay spot, you can also join in on the quiz nights every Wednesday night and stand a chance to win a free bucketload of beer.

Canvas Nightclub in Singapore promises punters a strict bass-heavy music policy that shies away from all the pop hits and EDM-style tracks found in most of the nearby Clarke Quay clubs.

The club has a yellow-on-black branding on its wall that’s bold and a bit hard to miss. You can expect a DJ roster that is filled with local and international performers who play on a weekly basis – encompassing genres such as a garage, techno, progressive, minimal house, and thumping drum and bass.

Harry's @ Riverside Point presents live bands every Wednesday and Thursday nights from 7.30pm onwards. Don't forget the popular Singapore bar and restaurant chain's delicious treats such as soy-glazed beef cubes its signature classic jazz burger alongside beers nd cocktails.

As long as you’re not afraid of heights, G-Max Reverse Bungy is a great alternative to Clarke Quay’s usual activities of eating and drinking at the many picturesque waterside bars or restaurants. This is Singapore’s first ever bungy and offers some great views of the city as well as an adrenaline fix to satisfy even the biggest of thrill seekers.

The daredevils that try it out (or just those who have plucked up enough Dutch courage at a nearby bar) are launched skywards at 200 km/h to a height of 60 metres. Although open from 5pm every day, G-Max is best enjoyed when the sun goes down and the city is lit up in spectacular fashion.

The Quayside at Robertson Quay is perfect for anyone looking for a combination of dining and drinking in alfresco style around Singapore's popular riverside area.

With a modern and exclusive atmosphere, The Quayside complex offers accommodation, eating, and drinking venues, and is connected to the Intercontinental Singapore Hotel, offering high-class services in the heart of Singapore.
