Boat Quay, Singapore

Here is the place close to the Quays of Singapore. You can take a boat trip for 25$S which is from 30-45 minutes. Includes a guide that will explain the landmarks and historical key interest of Singapore.
This will also give you a clue where to dine and wine in Singapore.

On the Singapore River with its conserved shophouses, Boat Quay is the place to visit for entertainment & dining.

The area was busy both day & night, with its restaurants & bars. It was a great place to sit & relax after a days sightseeing.

Harry's Bar in Boat Quay is the place to go for some excellent rythym n' blues. Get there early as seating is limited indoors but you won't be disappointed by the performers. Everything from Marvin Gaye to Aretha Franklin and a little bit'o Motown will have you rocking in your seat. You can also enjoy a good criket or soccer match as well on the Plasma screens spread around and behind the bar. Drink prices are reasonable and although the food is limited to bar food it was tasty and well prepared.

Boat Quay is popular with expatriates, this riverfront area has alfresco restaurants, bars and pubs. The shophouses vary in height. This was a sign of wealth - the higher the shophouse, the wealthier the owner. It is located at the heart of the business district. Across the river is Empress Place where Sir Stamford Raffles founded Singapore. You can find the The Arts House, Victoria Theatre and waterfront dining here.

All along boat quay you can see many statues. Some are very modern, others a bit more traditional. You can see the bumboats pass by while either walking along the quay's yourself, of by having a drink at one of the many bars. It's great to walk around this bit of Singapore, cross the bridges along the way and enjoy the spectacular views of Singapore Skyline.

One of the statues represents a couple of kids jumping into the river. Many children died here, however. The Singapore river is not very deep, although it does seems like it is.

If you heading off to Clark Quay you might as well stop at Boat Quay as there to is whole lot of pubs and restaurants there to. You can also catch a boat ride here. I guess its a place whereby people come together to eat and drink and just enjoy the outdoors by the river. Around Bout Quay you have these beautiful tall buildings , the Parliment house and the Asian Civilisation Meseum.

We've frequented Boat Quay for a number of reasons; to relax, sit on the riverbank and watch the little bumboats come by, to eat, to drink.. well, anything really! And the great thing is, you can stop by Boat Quay whenever you like, there's always a place serving food and drinks!

On this particular photo we we're enjoying our traditional B4B (Beer for Breakfast).. don't worry, we're not drunks, it just happens we usually end up having one of those days on our trips, when the kitchen hasn't opened yet, and we crave that beer.. ;)

Boat Quay has a large variety of outlets, ranging from simple pubs to great restaurants! Stop by Boat Quay anytime for anything!
