Clarke Quay - The Place To Be in Singapore

Clarke Quay is relentlessly adding new colors to Singapore’s history. Even before, in black and white photographs, the Clarke Quay area shows much life and excitement to the country’s overall landscape. Now, it’s much more improved. If you’re visiting Singapore for the first time, this is definitely one of the places to be at.

Give you a bit of history here: Clarke: came from Sir Andrew Clarke, Singapore's second Governor and Governor of the Straits Settlements, who played a key role in positioning Singapore as the main port for the trade. While the word Quay: means that it’s a wharf or reinforced bank where ships are loaded or unloaded. So what? This means that’s a haven for trade and exchanges. And today is all about trade and exchanges, via cool and contemporary clubs and restaurants for all genres. Just alight the Clarke Quay MRT station, that’s it!

This is very popular for tourists and locals who would like to have a good time and see busy streets packed with food and people having a good time. Although the place is full of activity during mornings, it’s best to visit during evening as this is where the place bursts with life, sound, and color. Meet new people, drink, dance, and have a good good good time.

At dusk till dawn, the area never sleeps. So many things are happening. From dancing, clubbing, beer drinking, laughing fest, to all out seafood eating. There are so many fancy restaurants and interesting lights to see and sounds to hear. Not to mention, the famous G-MAX reverse bungee, the first in Singapore. There are also river cruises, chilling areas and maybe even river taxis to try.

Because of many night social events happening here, from festivals to just plain all out clubbing, Clarke Quay has become known as a hub of Singaporean nightclubs. So, if you’re looking to go and meet new people, hang out, try something lively and energetic, have some good time with friends at night, then try Clarke Quay area – it’s just one river taxi away from adding new color to your history.
