Take your first left and you will find a group of restaurants overlooking the river. Take your pick!

The Nights of the Garden city

As the night falls, the whole city of Singapore transforms into a bustling network of nightclubs and bars. The sound of jazz changes the whole atmosphere. After hours, Singapore practically transforms itself from an ever-so-efficient business hub to a buzzing network of bars and nightclubs. Busy executives loosen their ties and kick up their heels to the sound of jazz swinging
it at Harry's Bar along Boat Quay, and earnest students-by-day let down their hair for some laid-back bar-hopping at famous Mohammed Sultan Road.
Clubbing in Singapore is very important to know the pulse of the city. Singapore is a hot spot for all party goers.

 

The mood in Boat Quay and Clarke Quay are slightly laid-back and the crowd is a mixture of Expats and locals. Customers of these restaurants as well as pubs are usually serious party-goers, but people just out for a pint after work, couples chatting over a leisurely dinner, and tourists also patronize them.

 

In the past ten years or so, bars and nightclubs have flourished in a big way in the Lion City. Long labeled as one of the over protected nanny states
whose well-behaved inhabitants just don't know how to have fun, partying the night away has become a norm. Many of the bars and clubs have taken on a unique Singaporean or Southeast Asian quality; you'll find renovated Chinese godowns pumping out rap or retro, fashionable bars of glass-and-chrome exteriors and Buddhist temple
style interiors, celebrated drinking dens that will bring back to
you the days of the Raj.

 
 

Singapore these days has a made a name for being safe and strict with law-abiding citizens and these things are true but that doesn´t mean people don´t like to party here, even before the ban on bar-top dancing was lifted!
