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. 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!

2. Mdlr
While not a nightclub in the traditional sense, this event venue has seen a multitude of lit parties. This pop-up space by Thugshop features a Martin audio system and visual artists who add to the vibe. Only the most discerning of partiers know what’s up. You definitely 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.
Mdlr, 62 Cecil Street, Singapore 049710
3. Yang
Everyone knows Clarke Quay‘s the place for nightlife in Singapore. If you’re not looking to bar-hop, we recommend swinging by Yin and Yang. Housed within a heritage mansion, you get the best of both worlds. Start off with light bites and cocktails or a bucket of soju at Yin before getting your dancing shoes on at Yang. There’ll never be a dull night with its cutting-edge sound and top-notch service. At Yang, each night is dedicated to a different genre of music. So if you’re picky about your club bangers, be sure to check the schedule!
