Singapore’s late-night options have expanded in recent years to include more highbrow lounges with million-dollar views, mixologists shaking up the trendiest ingredients, and bars tapping into some of the beers from all over. After work, professionals and expats typically congregate at watering holes on Club Street and pubs in Boat Quay, as well as at some of the cocktail bars that have been popping up around Chinatown and Haji Lane.
Nightclubs featuring electronic dance music have a massive following here, and that's been true since the opening of Zouk, back in 1996. Additional clubs can be found around Clarke Quay and throughout the CBD.
First-time visitors should be prepared for the exorbitantly expensive prices that clubs charge. Beer guzzlers on a budget are best off sipping on a few at the hawker centers, one of the only places to find reasonable rates.
Be aware that although the once-bawdy Bugis Street has been sanitized, a seedy underworld still exists elsewhere in town. Red-light districts, which are mostly found in parts of Geylang, have buildings that really are lit by red lanterns. Soliciting for prostitution is illegal, but the deed itself isn't; it's actually tolerated, monitored, and contained, with most prostitutes registered and subject to regular medical checks. If karaoke is what you seek, keep in mind that it is common for "KTV" lounges to be a cover for prostitution.

Singapore’s love of rooftop bars extends beyond the Central Business District and into Little India with this no-frills, homestyle watering hole decorated with lawn chairs and unvarnished wooden tables. Browse their rotating menu of craft beers from Beijing-style witbiers to classic Belgian pilsners. Keep your stomach lined with local snacks like fishball keropok, and if you’re lucky a tarot card reader might be in residence for the evening.
While there's a movie of the same name about the real life of Singapore-based rogue trader Nick Leeson, that's where the similarities end. This British colonial–style cocktail bar is known for its menu of Indian-inspired tipples and its wide selection of whiskies. Expect your taste buds to be challenged—the bartenders are known to experiment with unusual ingredients like goji berries and sumac. And since it's located above Meatsmith Little India, expect the bar food to be a cut above the usual pub grub.
21 Campbell Ln., Singapore, Central Singapore, 209894, Singapore
Hidden in a corner of the Hotel Vagabond Club, this bar houses a collection of 1,000 rare, single-cask, limited-edition whiskies that would impress even the most seasoned connoisseur. It’s styled like a typical whiskey den, with lots of wood, velvet, and a glass showcase. The cigar menu is up to par, and there's live jazz starting at 5 pm from Wednesday to Saturday.
