Singapore is no stranger to nightlife trends: from fussy bespoke cocktails to small-batch spirits to low-slung rooftop bars to the

craftiest of craft beers, we’ve got all that and more to be proud of. For example, two cocktail bars from our humble shores have appeared again on the World’s 50 Best Bars list (give it up for Manhattan and 28 Hong Kong Street); Changi Village now has its very own independent microbrewery (see page 20); and there’s now a bar specializing exclusively in tequila, rum and mezcal (hi, Vasco!). Pair that with our sky-high clubs and cozy sports bars, and you’ve got the whole nightlife spectrum. Singapore may be small, but it sure is a great place to kick back and party. And here is the complete guide on how to do it, this year with lots of new venues and updates on old favorites. Cheers!

This ultra-luxe 4,000 sq. ft. space has glorious views of the skyline, while the interiors are bathed in LED lights and giant

screens. On top of the cover charge, there are your run-of-the-mill club drinks and also a range of premium bottles. Music depends on the night, but you can count on a go-hard-or-go-home blend of R&B, dance and electronic music, with international guest acts playing alongside resident DJs.

Spruced up after a major renovation last year, this Clarke Quay stalwart is still going strong. With cushy seats and an inviting bar, this nightspot is made for schmoozing, lounging and grooving. We particularly love the interior alfresco bar for when you want a breather from the loud music.

the now-defunct The Vault, are back in Boat Quay. The sleek club-lounge occupies a three-story shophouse and plays R&B and funk tunes. While the second floor is a full-fledged club with hip hop tunes and an urban feel, the third floor is all about down tempo beats with a playlist of funk, groove and classic songs. Never mind the harlequin-esque decor interspersed with dark wood, we’re digging the old school American soul here.

Kyo #B1-02 Keck Seng Tower, 133 Cecil St., 6225-6001. Open Wed-Thu 9pm-4am; Fri 9pm-4:30am; Sat 11pm-6am. www.clubkyo.com

Disappear underground via a dramatic stairwell and emerge in the 6,000 sq. ft. den, where modern minimalism meets traditional Japanese influences with plenty of rough-hewn stone, bronze and recycled wood.

With a strict door policy (make sure you are dressed to the nines before heading here), the city’s poshest club and lounge is especially fitting if you’re in the mood to splurge on a table (minimum spend of $1,500); this is the place to be for pampering bar service.

Zouk 17 Jiak Kim St., 6738-2988. Open Wed 11pm-4am; Fri-Sat 10pm-4am. www.zoukclub.com.sg

Much is changing for Singapore’s best-known night club, with a change in ownership recently announced and a change of address to Clarke Quay planned for mid-2016. Until then, it’s still the place to be seen at after two decades, with diverse music offerings that cater to all. Main floor Zouk is where weekly global DJs take to the floor and Phuture has its buzzy hip hop offerings. The star of the club is undoubtedly Velvet Underground, a sleek and exclusive lounge.

A fixture on the World’s 50 Best Bars list, this dark and moody speakeasy-style place recently underwent a renovation to expand its bar seating.
