Whether you’re in the mood to party or chill, get whisked away to Tokyo or NYC, you can always count on the watering holes in Clarke Quay.
If sky-high airfares are delaying your reunion with the Pojangmachas in Korea, try Chorong Pocha, a pop-up bar in Clarke Quay. It’s not a fancy set-up by any means but since opening in December 2021, it quickly got everyone’s attention with two words: Soju buffets.You can choose between the 5pm to 9pm, or 9pm to midnight sessions – depending on how early you knock off and, well, whether your boss is on leave the next day.
We’re familiar with Japanese izakayas and tapas bars, but a Chinese-style watering hole? That was unheard of until YIN at The Riverhouse entered the chat in 2019, calling Singapore’s oldest Chinese mansion – a former secret society den with over 150 years of history – home.The alfresco bar stands out not only for its oriental facade but also for its knack for melding the traditional and quirky.
Establishments in Clarke Quay have come and gone in the last decade or so, still, a trailblazer of Singapore’s cocktail and spirits scene sits faithfully at 28 Hong Kong Street. Hidden in plain sight behind a 1960s shophouse is not merely a local institution, but the first-ever winner of The Best Bar in Asia.
