Nightlife @ the River

Welcome to Nightlife @ the River!

Descriptions:

As the Sun sets, Singapore river magically lit up and transforms itself  into a buzzing network of bars and nightclubs. Along this stretch, Singapore’s past, present and future are inextricably intertwined. Pubbing and clubbing at Singapore is a must if you want to feel the night-pulse of the city; experience the city only by day and you ONLY get just half of the picture.

Singapore's nightlife by the river is one fascinating spot you should visit if you are near the city area. (Raffles place to Clarke Quay) Experience Nightlife from early evening to late morning. There are certainly many spots to snap your pictures for your loved ones.

Get captivated by the breathtaking night view of the Singapore River by taking a river cruise/taxi ride along the river.
           
What we say:
The team went on a field trip and we took some photos to share our joy with all the readers. The Vibrant nightlife around Clarke Quay area are tempting us to miss the last public transport and to forget about all of our worries. 

If you like the vibrant music and lifestyle, go near to the pubs and clubs near this area. If you prefer a quieter place for a heart to heart chat with your friends, we would suggest that you can choose to seat near Central Shopping mall

You can get to see the beautiful lightings. Furthermore, we are nearing to Christmas and there is a white Christmas tree outside Central shopping mall for you to take photos. :)

For a cosy chill-out and delicious dinner by the river,we recommend The Tapas Tree which serves a great variety of delicious tapas. From cold tapas like Marinated olives with garlic  or  Smoked salmon with capers, olives and lemon  to warm tapas like Baked king prawns in a creamy garlic & cheese sauce  or  Sautéed potatoes with Spanish sausage.  
Other than tapas, you can also try their fabulous Paellas.
To end the dinner with a sweeter note, the warm Churros served with chocolate dip is a must! Other all time favourites include Caramelised custard and Bread pudding with sugar and cinnamon.


Not forgetting the live Spanish performances that keep the ambience alive!
Prices are not too high, worth it for the sumptous food and romantic ambience.
Do note that the service may not be up to your standard.
Open daily, from 11:30 am to around 12 midnight (1am on weekends and holidays).
