Fire up your Singapore nightlife experience as you hit some of the hottest bars, rooftop clubs and music venues in town. Singapore transforms itself from an ever-so-efficient business hub to a buzzing network of bars and nightclubs as soon as the sun goes down. The choices are endless—from energetic Zouk to quirky stock-market style Beer Market. When it comes to letting your hair down in the after-hours, these hotspots will make sure that sleep is the last thing on your mind.
Pangaea
Word to the wise: Dressing to impress takes on a new meaning here. Play your outfit as cool as your attitude.
Tipple of choice: When money is no object, the 'jewel of Pangea' cocktail (SGD 32,000), which comes with a Mouawad diamond, tastes even better.
Described by its owner, dance club doyen Michael Ault, as "the Ferrari of the nightclub world," Pangaea is a party palace for the super elite. Dripping in safari-themed exotica—from the zebra print bar to crocodile skin sofas—this swanky club is the kind of place James Bond would stop by for a dirty martini after shooting a wild boar.
On a regular Thursday night, however, you'll find a contingent of slick entrepreneurs, visiting celebs and model types, all trying their darnedest to feign disinterest in the occupants of the VIP Dragon's Den.
Velvet Underground
Word to the wise: The exclusive venue is favoured by visiting celebrities so dress to impress.
Located within the Zouk nightclub complex, Velvet Underground is as popular for its funky retro decor as the progressive house sets played by international DJs including soul man Norman Jay and trance luminary Paul Oakenfold.
Pop-art prints by Andy Warhol, Takashi Murakami and their contemporaries adorn the velvet-covered walls of the chic, lounge-style venue, while the Philipe Stark-designed furniture props up stylish patrons grooving to the soft, conversation-friendly tunes.
Beer Market
Get ready for market crashes and bull runs as you enter Singapore’s Beer Market. Inspired by the dynamics of the stock exchange, the bar is a perfect blend of food, music and sports and links the price of alcohol to the stock market’s unpredictable index. And when the exchange crashes due to fluctuating peak periods, everyone gets to take advantage of their favourite drink at a fraction of the cost. Beer Market recreates the buzz a stock market gives—patrons watch the exchange on screens which are adjusted to reflect the customers’ drink demands every half hour. And to top it all, the bar offers a menu so comprehensive that’s it as appealing as the beer itself.
Crazy Elephant Bar
Packed to its wooden rafters with folks looking for a grand ol’ time, Crazy Elephant lives up to its name with pulsating rock music intertwined with smooth groovy blues. The music here is always live, loud and rocking and the wooden décor and graffiti give it a rock authenticity that’s unusual in Singapore. Many a famous rock, blues and pop legend has played at Crazy Elephant, with live performances kicking off at 10 pm every night. Among those who have graced the bar’s stage are Deep Purple, Robbie Williams and Ronan Keating. One of the oldest venues in the Clarke Quay district, Crazy Elephant also welcomes any and all to come up and have a jam session on Sunday nights.
Zouk
The throbbing heart of all the action in Singapore, Zouk is a strobe-lit, rambling warren of dance floors, swagger and seasoned music. Having hosted some of the biggest and most cutting-edge acts around Singapore, the pulsating institution continues to push the boundaries of electronic dance music. Zouk is made up of three clubs and a wine bar, with the main room showcasing techno and house music. The shining new Velvet Underground is more relaxed and exclusive while Phuture is more experimental and racier than the rest. Owing to its competitive global reputation, Zouk has hosted some of the world’s leading DJ’s, from Carl Cox and Paul Oakenfold to the Chemical Brothers and Primal Scream.
