Velvet Underground
Part of local nightlife institution Zouk, Velvet Underground draws the suits and yuppies and is the place to see and be seen. For those who’re looking for action, get off the plush cushions and ball-shaped stools and head to the dance floor where you can groove to the funky house beats.
Zouk
For more than two decades, Zouk has seen several big names gracing its decks like Paul Van Dyk, Danny Howells and Sasha.

Post Bar
The plush Post Bar in Singapore’s beautifully restored General Post Office building is a favorite among trendy professionals in the CBD. Excellent cocktails in a chic and modern setting, but which still holds its colonial allure—beautiful features like the original ceiling and pillars of the GPO are left untouched. The outdoor area is also a […]
Wala Wala Cafe Bar
Despite having no air-conditioning at the alfresco area on the first level, Wala Wala still packs in the crowds every day of the week. Seating spills onto the sidewalk where patrons kick back in casual attire.

Set in a colonial black and white bungalow surrounded by lush greenery, you can groove to chill-out beats and smooth jazz here.

Zouk Winebar
There’s no lack of eye candy, as poseurs, celebrities and the hip and trendy are constantly parked in the perpetually-cool Zouk WineBar. Despite its fab-ness, people are here to unwind and you can easily join their ranks by doing the same with a glass of red or white dangling from your hand.
House | Review
A former army barrack, House is 35,000 sq. ft. space set in Dempsey Hill. Relax at the cafe and bar while the latest downtempo and electronic music fill the air as you sip on delicious cocktails.
China One
Located in Clarke Quay, this understated bar with its tasteful wood furniture and lounge music is good for that after-hours drink and to entertain guests. The pool lounge is perfect for relaxing or to break the ice. Resident band Tabula plays a good mix of party music, pop, rock, top 40s, alternative and reggae while […]
Chihuly Lounge
The glass sculpture that overlooks the lounge is created by American glass artist Dale Chihuly, the man the lounge is named after. Filled with warm earthy tones, large armchairs and overstuffed sofas, this place is great for a relaxed drink or that salubrious late night tipple. Run out of leave days? Pretend you’re on holiday […]
Bikini Bar
This is not called the Bikini Bar for nothing. It’s just the place to check out hot hunks and hotter babes grooving the evening away to rock classics and contemporary hits.
