Clarke Quay
A row of colourful converted warehouses on the Singapore River, becoming a nightlife hub of bars, restaurants and clubs after dark. River cruises also depart from here.
Clarke Quay lies in the middle reaches of the Singapore River. In the 19th century it was a busy cargo wharf. Today its five rows of restored, colourful warehouses have become restaurants, bars and clubs. Outdoor seating along the riverbank lets you dine while watching the river, and the area is liveliest after dark, when lights reflect on the water. Nearby Riverside Point has chilli crab and other seafood restaurants, which are expensive, so check how dishes are priced before ordering. The quay has a Singapore River cruise stop, and you can take a traditional bumboat downstream past Boat Quay to Marina Bay, which takes about 40 minutes. It is a good way to see the night views. Clarke Quay MRT station is right outside, and it is a walk to Fort Canning Park.
