Whether you’re a lover of deep house, hip hop or live sets from some of the world’s biggest DJs, Singapore is bursting with next-level clubs featuring everything from flaming cocktails to Ferris wheels (yes, you read that right). And luckily for you, here at Urban List we have partied our way around the country to find the best clubs in Singapore—no sticky floors, cheesy tunes or lacklustre atmospheres in sight.  

So put your dancing shoes on and get ready to cut some shapes at one of these clubs in Singapore.

Marquee Singapore

While we wouldn’t usually expect a nightclub to be located within a shopping centre, when said centre is Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands we’ll absolutely make an exception. This epic super club is the sister venue of Marquee Sydney and it’s been given a serious upgrade. Boasting a huge dance floor, private tables and a slew of bars, the centrepiece has to be the indoor Ferris wheel. And even better, you can take your crew on the ride and document your night out with the photo booth in the carriages (and make all of your mates jealous).

After something a little more thrilling? Jump on the slide and scale three floors of the epic building—we suggest you leave the cocktail with a friend for this one. Perfect for celeb-spotting, Marquee also boasts a roster of A-list performances in the past including the likes of Steve Aoki, Tiesto and Nicky Romero to name a few.

Wonder Room

Step into a world of opulence and mystery at Wonder Room at The Singapore EDITION, the city’s newest nightlife destination and micro-club space where opulence and mystique collide.

Situated on the lower ground level of The Singapore EDITION and covertly nestled behind the hotel’s signature spiral staircase, you enter through a mesmerising bronze mirror tunnel that sets the scene for an epic night out. Taking centre stage is the extravagant Gold Bar, where you can savour curated cocktails such as the Clover Club, offering a refreshing mix of gin, blanco vermouth, raspberry, lemon and velvety egg whites, or spice things up with the smoky El Diablo, blissfully blending mezcal, cassis, ginger beer and lime. A chic, antique pool table surrounds the bar, infusing another signature EDITION layer into the space.

Adding to Singapore’s buzzing nightlife scene, Wonder Room will host performances from resident DJs, including Farah Farz, Bernadette Belle, Nicolette, Candice Teo, DJ Aldrin, and Yafith Hamid, as well as dancers and other electrifying entertainment showcased through a state-of-the-art sound system, dramatic lighting and imaginative projections.

For those in need of a little privacy, hidden in plain sight is Wonder Room’s speakeasy style sister, Pink Room, an intimate 20 seat venue adorned in blush tones, exclusively available for private bookings only.

Cherry Discotheque

Step inside this underground club and you’ll discover it’s primed for a good time. Drenched in neon, this hip-hop slappin’ arcade-style 'dance paradise' is adorned with plush velvet couches and boasts a black and white checked floor that’s guaranteed to lure even the most uncoordinated dancers to their feet.

On most nights, women enter for free—a win for the ladies—otherwise you’ll be stung with a $30 cover charge (although it’s well worth it in our opinion). If you’re feelin’ really baller, order up a bottle of $888 Cristal and heck, why not spray it over everyone, just because you can?! 

Ce La Vi

Zouk

Located within Clarke Quay’s Cannery Block and spanning across two floors, Zouk has become one of the city’s most-loved super clubs and for good reason, a night here will not be easily forgotten.

A trailblazer in the club scene for being one of the first to champion house music, at Zouk you’ll find a line-up of crazy good DJs. Previous superstars who have taken to the decks here include Carl Cox, Armin van Buuren, Avicii and the Chemical Brothers—yep these guys know how to throw an excellent party. First opening its doors back in 1991 (it was once housed in an old warehouse) this hot spot has been loved by generations of Singaporean clubbers, so you know it’s absolutely worth adding to your hit list.

Forget the glitz of the others on the list, this stripped-back, underground spot is all about pumping out top-notch tunes minus the fuss.

Created by a DJ and a restaurant owner, it’s no wonder Headquarters has become known for its epic music line-up, including a rotating roster of local talent and international imports.

Having only opened its doors in July 2022, Drip is still a relatively new player in the Singapore club scene. Located in the basement of Concorde Hotel, Drip is Singapore’s largest underground club, spanning two floors with a concept inspired by alternative clubs in Berlin.

The Drip Main Room (first floor) is dedicated to EDM, with a constant rotation of DJs on the decks. Downstairs you’ll find the Salt Room, where the vibe is more experimental and hip-hop beats take centre stage. While there are bars on both floors, the one at Salt Room has a much more curated cocktail menu should you be craving a dirty martini.

A dull night out at Yang Club is deemed near impossible with its rotating DJ headliners and VIP experiences.

Located at the iconic heritage mansion The Riverhouse, you can rave until dawn with Yang Club's slapping cutting-edge speakers, confetti guns, neon hues and energetic strobe lights. But take note, women need to be 18 to enter whereas men need to be 21—plus, be sure to leave your slides, singlets and shorts at home because as the club proclaims “don’t come out to play if you aren’t dressed to slay”. You’ve been told.

Lady Wu

Although Lady Wu is technically more of a lively alfresco attic bar than a night club, we think it deserves a special mention thanks to its packed weekly schedule of live music, performed in both English and Mandarin.

Located in the heart of Boat Quay, the bar is named after Empress Wu Zetian, who ruled China during the Tang Dynasty. The focus here is on contemporary craft cocktails, with regular drinks promotions and a tempting menu of creative Chinese bar bites making this a popular choice among the after-work crowd.
