Top choice in Colonial District, the Quays & Marina Bay


This legendary super club has been pumping beats since 1991 and draws in some of the world's biggest DJs and Singapore's seen-to-be-seen crowd. This is the place to go if you want to really let loose. Choose between the main, two-level, neo-industrial themed club with heaving dance floor and insane lighting, or the hip-hop-centric, graffiti-splashed Phuture.

Start your night at low-key RedTail bar, which serves up banging cocktails and modern Asian nibbles in a casual setting. Lovers of luxury shouldn't miss Capital, a refined lounge with plush seating, whiskey bar and a smoking cigar room.

Friday and Saturday night are crazy busy; prepare to queue (although it usually moves quickly) and dress to impress but don't wear your best shoes as they'll surely get trodden on.
