Clarke Quay, Singapore

The Singapore river has been an important spot for trade ever since Singapore was founded in 1819. At Clarke Quay and Boat Quay the traders came in with boats and sold their goods to shops and inhabitants.

Nowadays the area has transformed into a nightlife scene which is the best in Singapore. Five blocks are filled with restaurants, pubs and nightclubs with many different styles. You can choose to sit next to the river for a dinner or a beer, or head into one of the side streets for more options. The whole area is vibrant and full of people both day and night. It's colorful and full of happenings and events.

Due to the status prices are a bit higher than normally in Singapore, and that means it's pretty high. The alcohol tax in the country makes sure you'll get a rather big hole in your wallet after a night out.
Good thing with this is that is rarely people get really drunk, so it's safe and nice in the area.

Along the river there are plenty of nice restaurants. My favourites when it comes to bars is Beer Market where the price settings works as on the stock market. When a beer/drink is popular the price goes up, but if you instead choose a drink that less people wants you can find it for a lower price.
The Clinic is also a cool place, where you'll be seated either in a wheelchair or in a hospital bed. And why not get your drink served in a needle? No worries though, you'll put it in your mouth, not in your arm...

Singapore generally has not much to view, except for the city view, high rise building, but yet, I do found a place, not so bad for night view and some happening night life in Clark Quay. I used to stay in Service Apartment in near to UE Square, Park Avenue Suite. Price is average, comfort is moderate, clean but cleaners are mainly from China. The night view was nice though in Clark Quay.

There are many bars and restaurant, but mainly expats like to have dinner or drinks in Clark Quay.

I may update you more specific places worth visiting in Singapore... for now, go shopping!
