Where to go clubbing in Singapore: Best nightclubs
1. Zouk
This mega clubbing institution has been around for over 25 years, making it a staple of Singapore’s nightlife scene and one of my most reliable recommendations for nightclubs in Singapore. It’s the destination to see international DJs – think house and techno elites like Sven Väth and John Digweed, or EDM crowd-pleasers like Diplo and R3hab.
Even after its prolific locale shift from Jiak Kim to Clarke Quay, the world-renowned club (it’s perpetually on the list of best clubs in the world as voted by DJ Mag) continues to stun and draw ravers by the hundreds. Stay tuned to its social channels to get your tickets in advance!
Entry fee: Entry starts at $25, tables start at $1,000
Opening hours: Wednesday & Friday, 10pm – 3am; Saturday, 10pm – 4am
Where: Zouk, #01-05 to #02-06, The Cannery, Clarke Quay, 3C River Valley Road, Singapore 179022
2. Behind the Green Door
Only the coolest party-goers will know about this party space, and luckily for you, I’m here to spill the tea. Behind the Green Door is one of Singapore’s music and cultural beacons in our nightlife scene. I’m talking next-level music programming with top-tier international talents! Before you sip your drinks, fill up on food with Yung Raja’s dosa taco concept The Maha Co, which has found a home within the club.
Entry fee: Entry starts at $37.78
Opening hours: Wednesday, 7pm – 12am; Thursday, 7pm – 2am; Friday, 7pm – 3am; Saturday, 7pm – 3.30pm
Where: Behind the Green Door, 97 Duxton Road, Singapore 089541
3. Rasa
A hot new bombshell has entered the building draped in red and gorgeous interior design. Rasa is one of the new clubs on the block, designed to be a space for fostering connections and collaborations between artists and communities. The Honeycombers team checked it out and we recommend starting with a cocktail in the Hall, then entering the Floor and dancing to the views of Collyer Quay. It’s a whole different vibe with the view.
Entry fee: Free entry before 10pm, entry after 10pm starts at $27
Opening hours: Thursday – Friday, 5pm – 3am; Saturday, 8pm – 4am; Sunday, 5pm – 10pm
Where: Rasa, Level 2, Republic Plaza, 9 Raffles Place, Singapore 048619
4. Center Of The Universe
When it comes to the best nightclubs in Singapore, there’s no other spot that quite hits the mark like Center Of The Universe. This nightlife playground boasts five unique concepts housed under one space. Spend your day at Dashi Skypool soaking in the sun and taking a dip in the pool, dine at Enso Steakhouse where the in-house dry-aged steaks are absolutely to die for, and then liquor up at Little Birdie before you party your heart out at The Whisper Room. You’ll never get tired of exploring this locale – here’s my review of the concepts I visited.
Entry fee: Free entry
Opening hours: Varies by day
Where: Center Of The Universe, Level 38 & 39, Capitagreen, 138 Market Street, Singapore 048946
5. Bae’s Cocktail Club
If you haven’t already visited this TikTok viral club in Singapore, I highly recommend you get yourself all dressed up and head there this weekend. The swanky hangout has become the go-to place to get your drink on and boogie down hard after a long day at work. I rounded up my team on a fine Friday night, where we wined and dined on cocktails and Bae’s signature fusion Korean dishes – before inevitably ending up on the dance floor. Trust me when I say the music is something you can’t resist dancing to.
Entry fee: Free entry
Opening hours: Monday, 10pm – 3am; Tuesday – Friday, 6pm – 3am; Saturday, 6pm – 4am
Where: Bae’s Cocktail Club, #01-04/05, 21 Tanjong Pagar Road, Singapore 088444
6. HighHouse/Nova
A party in the sky? Sounds great. Take yourself over 60 storeys up to HighHouse or Nova, the latest lifestyle and dining destinations for the most discerning partiers. Think impeccable cocktails, killer views, and music you can vibe to all night long. If you’ve got the energy for it, I recommend starting your evening with a classy dinner at HighHouse before heading up for fresh air and good vibes in Nova’s outdoor lounge. Tip: it gets pretty hot out on the dance floor (literally and figuratively), so be prepared! I made the mistake of wearing a blazer the last time.
Entry fee: Entry starts at $30 for Nova

7. Tuff Club
Need to clock your next 10k steps for the day (or night)? Dance it out at Tuff Club. Previously intended as a one-time pop-up club, it’s become a permanent fixture thanks to its raging success, and everyone’s thrilled it’s here to stay.

Where: Tuff Club, #19-01, Oxley Tower, 138 Robinson Road, Singapore 068906
8. Cherry Discotheque
Throw it back to the 80s when you party at Cherry Discotheque – I certainly did. This intimate underground joint broke out on the nightlife scene in 2016 and quickly became a well-loved addition to Singapore’s long list of nightclubs. Drag your friends onto the dance floor and bop to sick 2000s hits and slow hip-hop beats.

9. Mdlr
While not a nightclub in the traditional sense, this event venue has seen a multitude of lit parties which I find make for the most unique party experience with a curated line-up. This pop-up space by Thugshop features a Martin audio system and visual artists who add to the vibe. Only the most discerning partiers know what’s up. You don’t wanna miss out! Be sure to keep an eye out on Thugshop’s social media pages for the latest updates. Previous parties have featured the likes of Bondax, Habouji duo Vinesh and Ibby, and Cinthie.

10. Drip
I’m a sucker for a club with a great vibe and theme, and that’s what you get at Drip. Inspired by the alternative clubs in Berlin, you’ll be welcomed with colourful lasers and contemporary art that decks the walls. EDM lovers can pop and grind to the beats played in the main room. Plus, get your Insta-worthy shots in the lounge area that’s built to look like a swimming pool. If EDM’s not quite your style, enter the Salt Room where DJs rotate with different experimental styles.
Entry fee: Entry starts at $32.50
Opening hours: Wednesday, 10pm – 3am; Friday, 10pm – 3am; Saturday, 10pm – 4am

11. Tanjong Beach Club
Okay, so this isn’t your typical nightclub in Singapore, but the sun-kissed playground is famous for its riotous beach parties and great DJ line-up. Plus, it’s freshly reopened after months of renovations. Since it’s located at the far end of Sentosa, all you need is a bikini and sunscreen to prep for an epic beach blowout. I love how it’s a fantastic break from stuffy dress codes if you’re running out of party ‘fits.
Entry fee: Free entry
Opening hours: Monday – Thursday, 10.30am – 9.30pm; Friday – Sunday, 10am – 10pm
Where: Tanjong Beach Club, 120 Tanjong Beach Walk, Sentosa, Singapore 098942
12. Headquarters
While most clubs in Singapore commit to commercialised EDM, Headquarters is dedicated to underground nights, which is absolutely my jam. House, tech house and techno are your usual suspects, with all their derivative sub-genres given time to shine in the HQ – minimal, deep, tribal, acid… you’ll hear it all (even some disco if you’re lucky).
Entry fee: Entry starts at $30
Opening hours: Wednesday – Friday, 10.30pm – 3am; Saturday, 10.30pm – 4am
Where: Headquarters, Level 2, 66A Boat Quay, Singapore 049854
13. Ce La Vi
Taking the meaning of living the high life to a whole new level – 57 stories up! – is Ce La Vi. Perched atop the boat-shaped structure of Marina Bay Sands, it boasts a picturesque view of the city skyline and a luxe clubbing experience that combines swank with swagger. Jive on over for guest DJ gigs, themed parties and more. I recommend dropping by for the brunches – they’re an absolute riot!

Lavo is part of the roster, along with its Vegas and NYC counterparts. Expect a star-powered line-up of DJs (it’s hosted past headliners like Nervo, Benny Benassi and Tiësto) elevating the space, which includes a bar, an indoor alfresco lounge, and a restaurant dishing out southern Italian cuisine.

Get ready to burn up the dance floor at this iconic nightclub in Marina Bay Sands. This is where the posh come to party – at the swanky spot that is Marquee. I typically go when I have cash to splash and want to impress. It’s known for conjuring up some of the most fiyah parties in Singapore, having taken over the nightlife scenes in New York City, Las Vegas and Sydney. Don your finest threads to enter the grand, high-ceilinged space – which features a full-sized Ferris wheel that you can actually ride – and dance until dawn to beats by some of the hottest DJ names.
Entry fee: Entry starts at $80, tables start at $2,000

This late-night hideout is the perfect escape to eat, drink and be merry till the wee hours of the morning (we’re talking 10pm to 6am every Wednesday to Saturday). Knock back stellar tipples before heading to the mini bowling alley, pool table and arcade game machines for a night of good fun.

Made possible with the team behind Universal Studios Singapore, you’ll be transported into a futuristic realm where technology takes centre stage. Past the holographic tunnel are a multitude of installations and the staff all dressed to theme waiting to welcome you.
