Ultimate Guide to Exploring Singapore at Night [2024 ]

While it’s a joy to admire Singapore’s urban fabric during the day, exploring The Lion City after sunset is equally fascinating.

But with so many places here that welcome night owls with open arms, where do you even start?

Read on to know what places you can visit in Singapore once the clock strikes six, plus other touristy evening activities you might want to add to your itinerary!

What do people do at night in Singapore?

Both locals and tourists in Singapore have a broad range of options to do when night falls in the city.

During the evening, visitors explore top destinations such as the Gardens by the Bay (for light shows) and Orchard Road (for 24/7 shopping) or dig into their favorite comfort food at Chinatown’s hawker stalls.

There are also specialized tours that will take you across the city at night including bus tours, cable car rides, date-night-worthy cruises, and the unique and uber-famous sidecar city experience.

We’ll further explore the places where you can do all of that and more in this guide!

Where should I go after 6 PM in Singapore?

Places in Singapore that you should check out after 6:00 PM include sightseeing spots known for their dazzling light shows such as Gardens by the Bay and Marina Bay Sands.

You can also visit Pinnacle@Duxton’s sky garden, Singapore’s Night Safari, and the Esplanade Concert Hall even after sundown!

If you want some indoor activity, check out Singapore’s arcade gaming centers and night bowling alleys. These stops will keep you pumped up through the night!

These spots are great for people who want to experience Singapore’s nightlife but don’t want to stick around until the wee hours. As such, families who are up to some evening fun can also check out these places.

1. Watch whimsical light shows at Gardens by the Bay

Aptly titled Garden Rhapsody, the light and sound show at Gardens by the Bay combines Singapore’s iconic Supertrees and modern technology to deliver a one-of-a-kind spectacle to visitors.

The night event comes on twice daily. Depending on the schedule, the themes of the show range from nature-inspired to national heritage to good ol’ Christmas musicals.

While it lasts only 15 minutes, acclaimed lighting designer Adrian Tan and sought-after music producer, arranger, and composer Bang Wenfu make sure to execute the show full to the brim.

For the best view, we recommend heading over to the OCBC Skyway ahead of the show or reserving a spot under the massive Supertrees for a unique perspective!

What time is the light show at Gardens by the Bay?

The light show at Gardens by the Bay starts at 7:45 PM and 8:45 PM each night.

As such, we recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before the show begins so you can get a nice viewing spot.

Is the light show at Gardens by the Bay free?

The light show at Gardens by the Bay is free to watch.

The evening shows take place in Supertree Grove, one of the sections belonging to the free-to-enter Outdoor Gardens.

2. Catch Spectra at Marina Bay Sands’ waterfront

Address	2 Bayfront Ave, Singapore 018972
Contact Details	+65 6688 8868
Show Hours	Monday to Thursday, Sunday: 8:00 PM – 8:15 PM, 9:00 PM – 9:15 PM Friday to Saturday: 8:00 PM – 8:15 PM, 9:00 PM – 9:15 PM, 10:00 PM – 10:15 PM
Rates	Free to watch

Water, lights, lasers, visual projections, and music make up Marina Bay Sands’ nightly show Spectra.

The sequence features four acts revolving around the history, growth, and aspirations of Singapore as a nation. It’s a unique approach if you want to go deeper into learning the country’s culture as a tourist.

Take a DSLR camera with you. The lights and reflections you can capture from this show will make for delightfully vibrant images!

How long is the Marina Bay light show?

The Marina Bay Sands’ light show Spectra lasts for 15 minutes. Shows come on twice every evening from Monday to Thursday and Sunday and thrice every Friday to Saturday.

Admission to the show is free, and there are no age restrictions. That said, we recommend coming early so you can get the best seat!

Where can I see Spectra?

To have the best views of Spectra (Marina Bay Sands light and sound show), make sure you’re watching from the bleachers at the Event Plaza.

You’ll be facing the waterfront when you sit there, plus you’ll see the CBD skyline in the background!

Alternatively, you can watch the show from restaurants Le Noir, Dallas Cafe & Bar, and JustIN Flavours of Asia if you’re dining al fresco.

3. Revel in sweeping night views atop the Pinnacle@Duxton Sky Garden

Address	1G Cantonment Rd, Singapore 085301
Contact Details	+65 8683-7760 \| feedback@tptc.org.sg
Opening Hours	Daily: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM
Rates	$6 per person

Nestled at the building’s 50-story high sky bridge, Pinnacle@Duxton’s sky garden offers sweeping views of Chinatown and the distant Singapore CBD. And that means seeing these areas come alive with lights big and small during the nighttime!

But more than the views, you’d love the garden itself for its spacious wooden decks and seating facilities. Also, the green landscaping elements prove a welcome break to the surrounding concrete, steel, and glass.

As of writing, the Pinnacle@Duxton welcomes a maximum of only 150 guests per day to the sky bridge for health and safety reasons.

4. Walk over enchanting light projections at Siloso Beach

Address	Siloso Beach Walk, Sentosa Island, Singapore 099538
Show Hours	Monday to Thursday: 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM Monday to Friday: 7:30 PM – 10:30 PM
Rates	Free entry

Siloso Beach’s Magical Shores is an interactive light and sound show which adds the sandy beachfront to its elements.

The swimming fish projections are particularly fun, as they stay true to the beach-inspired theme, and you get to “chase” them as you walk over the light display.

Note that the Magical Shores show is not like other light and sound spectacles in Singapore that come with storylines.

Still, this evening stop at Siloso Beach is perfect if you’re looking to chill, take some gorgeous photos, or let your kids wander and play on the sand.

Do we need to pay for Siloso Beach?

Entry to Siloso Beach is free for all.

However, Sentosa Island where the beach is located will begin charging admission fees starting April 2023, after over two years of waiving payments to boost tourism in the area.

You can check Sentosa Island’s official website to know more about the fees you need to prep for.

Can you swim in Siloso Beach?

You are allowed to swim in Siloso Beach, but you’ll need to be extra careful if you are not highly skilled in swimming or if you have kids in tow.

Also, night swimming (after 7 PM) is highly discouraged.

That’s because the beach has hazards including drop-off points, strong tidal currents, sharp rocks, and jellyfish.

To keep safe, the beach administration advises swimmers to stay within the red and yellow flags so Beach Patrol Officers can spot them easily should anything untoward happens.

Which part of Singapore is Siloso Beach located in?

Siloso Beach is located on Sentosa Island, a resort island on the southern coast of Mainland Singapore.

Siloso Beach is one of the three beaches that make up Sentosa. The other two are Palawan Beach and Tanjong Beach.

5. Capture the mystic charm of the HSBC Rain Vortex

Address	78 Airport Blvd, Singapore 819666
Contact Details	+65 6956-9898
Show Hours	Monday to Thursday: 7:30 PM, 8:30 PM Friday to Sunday: 7:30 PM, 8:30 PM, 9:30 PM
Opening Hours	Monday to Thursday: 11:00 AM – 10:00 PM Friday to Sunday: 10:00 AM – 11:00 PM
Rates	Free admission

As if being the tallest man-made waterfall isn’t enough, the HSBC Rain Vortex in Jewel Changi Airport also makes for a breathtaking display come evening.

Lights and sound come on twice to thrice a night and are projected on the cascading water, giving mesmerizing views from the many vantage points around the waterfall.

You can view the show from near the base of the rain vortex, the viewing platform on level 2, and the lobbies on the second to third floors overlooking it.

Is the HSBC Rain Vortex free to visit?

The HSBC Rain Vortex is free to see for all Jewel Changi Airport visitors. Even the light and sound shows that come on in the evenings are free to watch!

Aside from the Rain Vortex, the Jewel Changi Airport also has plenty of attractions that you can check out even after the sun goes down.

The attractions, which are open until 10:00 PM daily, include the Mirror Maze, Hedge Maze, Walking Net, Bouncing Net, and Canopy Park.

Note that admission to these places is paid though.

What terminal is the Rain Vortex located in?

The HSBC Rain Vortex is located deep in the heart of the Shiseido Forest Valley, with the latter being connected to the arrival hall at Terminal 1 and the pedestrian walkways at Terminals 2 and 3 of the Changi Airport.

To access the rain Vortex, you can find entry and exit points of the Forest Valley on all four levels surrounding it.

How long does the Jewel Changi Airport light show last?

The light show at Jewel Changi Airport lasts five minutes.

And while that may sound too short, the mystical vibe of the display might make time seem to slow down!

6. Let the dinosaurs watch you cycle at Jurassic Mile

Address	Airport Blvd, Singapore 819666
Contact Details	+65 6595-6865
Opening Hours	Open 24 hours daily
Rates	Free admission

The Jurassic Mile, which connects Changi Airport to the East Coast Park and Park Connector Network, offers a surreal after-dinner jogging or cycling experience with the massive dinosaur statues installed along its path.

The dino displays prove to be more engaging (and a bit scary) at night thanks to the well-placed lighting.

The fences reflect the eerie lights too, creating a thrilling vibe akin to how the Jurassic Park movies’ dinos jump at the unfortunate side characters to eat them!

While going by foot is fine, cycling your way through the path is more recommended for convenience and a unique vantage point.

How long is the Jurassic Mile walk?

The Jurassic Mile is about 1 kilometer long.

However, note that you will have to walk 2 kilometers before reaching the attraction if you’re coming from the HUB & SPOKE car park at Changi Airport Terminal 2.

Unless you really intend to cover some distance by walking (or jogging), we recommend renting a bike to reach the destination path.

Alternatively, you can get off the bus station at Changi Airport Terminal 4. The walk from there is about 700 meters, which is a more tolerable distance.

7. Spot nocturnal animals at Night Safari

Address	80 Mandai Lake Rd, Singapore 729826
Contact Details	+65 6269-3411
Opening Hours	Daily: 6:30 PM – 12:00 AM
Rates	Adult: $55 Child: $38 Senior: $20

Sightseeing is not limited to light and sound shows when you’re in Singapore. If you’re wondering about how animals do at night, Mandai Wildlife Reserve’s Night Safari will satisfy your curiosity.

The evening zoo features nocturnals Tasmanian devils, fishing cats, Malayan flying foxes, and more. Moreover, the complimentary tram rides, complete with audio commentary, will tour you around the animal haven for convenience.

Though you might squint a lot to see the creatures in action, as these night creepers blend in well with the nightscape!

Come daytime, you might as well check the thousands of animals housed in Singapore Zoo, which is just a few minutes away from the safari!

What time does the Night Safari open?

Singapore’s Night Safari opens from 6:30 PM to 12:00 AM. Note that entry to the park is divided into timeslots to stagger guest arrivals and avoid disturbing the animals.

On the other hand, Night Safari’s shops and dining outlets are open from 6:30 PM to 11:00 PM.

A notable attraction in the safari is the Creatures of the Night. Performed at the Night Safari Amphitheatre, the show features the park’s wildlife ambassadors including the Asian small-clawed otter and the fennec fox.

What should I wear at Night Safari?

You should wear light or bright-colored clothes and cover yourself as much as possible if you’re visiting Night Safari. This is to help repel mosquitoes, which are more active at night and are attracted to dark colors (and human skin).

Also, apply some insect repellent, just to be on the safe side.

Furthermore, we highly recommend wearing comfy shoes, as you’ll do some walking.

Bring an umbrella or poncho to prepare for sudden showers too!

How long is a Night Safari tram ride?

Singapore’s Night Safari tram ride takes about 40 minutes if you don’t hop off as you arrive at the park’s zones.

Consequently, lingering at any of the zones will take you longer to explore the park, with or without the tram ride.

8. Learn about the night sky at Science Centre’s Observatory

Address	15 Science Centre Rd, Singapore 609081
Contact Details	+65 6425-2500
Opening Hours	Tuesday to Sunday: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Activity Hours (Observatory)	3rd and 4th Friday of the month: 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM
Rates	$17 to $60 per person

If you’ve had your fill of city lights, you might want to start looking above to gaze at the stars. The observatory at Singapore’s Science Centre thankfully has the tools to help you do that.

Aside from the stargazing activity (made more informative by the center’s educators), you can make your evenings more productive with the observatory’s workshop package, which includes lessons on how to use a telescope!

Here’s a tip: Check your weather forecast before booking a ticket, as payments will not be refunded if the activity is canceled on the day due to bad weather.

9. Know more about architecture through the Esplanade Night Tour

Address	1 Esplanade Dr, Singapore 038981
Contact Details	+65 6828-8377
Opening Hours	Daily: 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Tour Hours	Monday, Tuesday: 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Rates	Standard: $25 Senior: $20 Student: $20

If you already appreciate Esplanade’s iconic Concert Hall just from its durian-like shape, you’d love this architectural wonder more once you join the center’s night tour.

The one-hour tour will take you around the Concert Hall and Esplanade Theatre. Along with touring, your guide will provide background information about how the art center’s architecture and design came to be.

And because it’s nighttime, your guide will also bring you to Esplanade’s Roof Terrace—obviously, to be mesmerized by Singapore’s glittering skyline!

How do I get into the Esplanade Concert Hall?

You can get to the Esplanade Concert Hall by train, bus, taxi, and private car.

Getting to Esplanade Concert Hall by train

For transit users taking the North-South Line and East-West Line, you can get off at the City Hall MRT Station.

From there, it will take you about 8 minutes to reach Esplanade on foot.

Those who are taking the Circle Line can get off at Esplanade MRT Station. The Concert Hall is an 8 to 10 minutes walk from there.

Getting to Esplanade Concert Hall by bus

Bus riders can alight at either Bus Stop No. 02061, which is located outside the Esplanade Mall entrance, or at Bus Stop No. 02111, which services buses plying along Esplanade Drive.

The particular buses that drop off passengers at these stops are listed here.

Getting to Esplanade Concert Hall by taxi

Your hired taxi will drop you off at a nearby taxi stand located in Esplanade Mall along Raffles Avenue. It will take about 4 minutes to walk to the Concert Hall from there.

Getting to Esplanade Concert Hall by private car

If you’re driving a private vehicle, secure your parking slot at car parks located on both sides of Esplanade Drive.

Alternatively, you can park your car at the nearby Marina Square. From there, it will take you about 7 minutes to walk to Esplanade.

Fun Activity Places in Singapore at Night

Fun and games continuing through the night are possible in Singapore with its many gaming centers.

They welcome not just a single night owl but also your fellow nocturnals, and a lot of them serve drinks and snacks too!

Book your group in one of these fun activity places in Singapore that you can visit during the evening!

K Bowling Club
Mind Cafe
Timezone at Plaza Singapura
Axe Factor

10. Strike it clean at K Bowling Club

Address	313 Orchard Rd, 313@Somerset, #03-27, Singapore 238895
Contact Details	+65 9127-0313 \| booking@kbowlingclub.com

Rates	$11 – $17 per game per person
Menu (Bar & Kitchen)	Pizza: $18 – $22 French fries: $14 Chicken bites: $18 Bottled beer: $14 Cocktails: $19 Juice: $7 Coffee: $6

If you want to bowl a strike or two after-hours (and brag to your friends), K Bowling Club with its late-night hours is the place to go.

The bowling alleys’ neon lights and music are designed to amp night owls, while their shorter length makes for casual and beginner-friendly games.

Apart from bowling, you can play darts, sing your heart out at the karaoke, or try your luck at the club’s claw machines.

Booking is required to play at the club. But if the place is full for the night, you can also try other bowling clubs that operate until late like the Orchid Bowl at Orchid Country Club and Sonic Bowl at SAFRA Punggol.

11. Work your brain with board games at Mind Cafe

Address	60A Prinsep St #02-00, Singapore 188664
Contact Details	+65 8482-4533 \| admin@themindcafe.com.sg
Opening Hours	Monday to Thursday, Sunday: 11:00 AM – 2:00 AM Friday to Saturday: 11:00 AM – 6:00 AM
Rates	$8 per hour of gaming
Menu (F&B Outlet)	Free flow cold beverages: $4.90 Free flow hot beverages: $4.90 Free flow snacks: $2.90 Mains: $10.90 Finger food: $8.90 Desserts: $4.90

Playing board and card games with friends and family is an ultra-engaging way to pass the time. And if you’re in Singapore’s Mind Cafe, you might as well expect to get busy until late at night!

That’s because you are free to choose from the hundreds of games available in the cafe, including Chinese chess, Dixit, Cup-A-Cup, and more. With the addition of free-flow coffee and snacks, you and your companions will likely lose track of time.

Gaming facilitators roaming around the tables will teach you the rules and assist your group during game time. You can either just walk into the cafe or reserve a seat, but we recommend the latter, as the place tends to be packed.

We also suggest grabbing Mind Cafe’s promo packages so you can play to your heart’s content at lower prices. You can check their current promos on their website.

12. Go all-out in arcade gaming at Plaza Singapura’s Timezone

Address	68 Orchard Rd, #07-02 03 Plaza, Singapore 238839
Contact Details	+65 6238-8651
Opening Hours	Monday to Thursday: 11:30 AM – 10:00 PM Friday: 11:30 AM – 11:00 PM Saturday: 10:00 AM – 11:00 PM Sunday: 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM
Rates	Welcome Card: minimum of $10

If you want all your favorite arcade games in one place, Timezone is the most convenient option. The video arcade is teeming with video games, claw catchers, and bumper cars that can keep you and your friends or kids entertained until 11 at night.

But unlike other attractions, you need to purchase a Powercard to enjoy the gaming facilities. Don’t worry, though, the initial card is reasonably priced.

Those who are far from Plaza Singapura can check out other Timezone branches across Singapore. Locations include Compass One, Marina Square, Vivo City (the flagship branch), and Westgate (the biggest branch).

Will my Timezone Card in Singapore expire?

Your Timezone Card in Singapore will expire if you don’t use it for 12 months from the last date of use.

That said, keeping the card active means it will renew its 12-month period limit every time you use it.

Using the card frequently is not that difficult in Singapore, as you have a wide range of Timezone outlets here. The venues close at either 10:00 PM or 11:00 PM, so swinging by after work or school is doable!

How do I put money on my Timezone Card in Singapore?

You can reload your Timezone Card in Singapore by topping it up online via the Fun App. Connect your account to the app, go to the reload section, and choose the reload offer compatible with your existing card.

Make sure your Powercard details are linked to the app for hassle-free transactions!

Timezone Cards in Singapore are updated as you spend more money across outlets nationwide. After the Welcome Card, you can get the Blue Elite, then the Gold, then the Platinum Card, with more perks as you go higher.

13. Throw your stress away with sessions at Axe Factor

Address	200 Turf Club Rd #01-32A/B & 34A/B, Singapore 287994
Contact Details	+65 8923-8945
Opening Hours	Tuesday to Sunday: 12:00 PM – 10:00 PM
Rates	1-hour game: $30 per person 2-hour game: $57 per person

Being able to release pent-up stress and aggression without hurting anyone is an ideal prospect for peace-loving night owls, and axe throwing in Axe Factor is one of the best ways to do so!

The game center allows an hour or two of axe throwing, with the first several minutes devoted to instructions and practice. After the preparatory activities, facilitators will conduct a round-robin tournament for your group.

While you can throw axes yourself, we recommend going with friends or family so you’ll have people to compete with (yes, we’re competitive like that). Remember that kids under 15 are discouraged from playing though.

If you’re going on a whim, know that walk-ins are not always accommodated, as the place is often busy. You can always book a slot on the Axe Factor’s website, of course.

Can I wear a dress to axe throwing in Singapore?

It’s best to come to your axe-throwing sessions wearing closed-toe shoes and comfortable, decent clothing.

If you’re comfortable wearing a superhero costume (as long as it’s socially acceptable), you are free to do so. Just don’t forget the shoes!

Is axe throwing a good workout?

Aside from being fun, axe throwing can be a good workout, as you’d use your muscles a lot!

Throwing the medieval weapon requires abs, arms, legs, and back strength, so you can get some benefit if you’re looking to shape up any of these body parts.

And like any form of exercise, throwing an axe on a board several feet away releases happy hormones. Enjoying it with friends and loved ones will boost the production of feel-good chemicals too!

Where can I go at night in Singapore with my car?

If you’re touring Singapore with your car, you can go to spots whose routes and stops offer stunning views of the evening cityscape.

For instance, you can drive to Mount Faber’s peak to get sweeping views of Singapore’s skyline and coastline.

Alternatively, you can drive along Bayfront Avenue to see a stretch of iconic structures including the Esplanade, Marina Bay Sands, and the Helix Bridge. The Singapore River also lies along this road, reflecting CBD’s many city lights.

For joyrides without real destinations, we recommend driving along roads with little to no traffic including the Marina Coastal Expressway (which has a dedicated lane for recreational commuting), the 16km Tanah Merah Coast Road, and the tranquil, tree-dotted Arcadia Road.

Where can I sit and chill in Singapore for free?

Many of Singapore’s public spaces allow you to sit and chill for free including the captivating Supertree Grove at Gardens by the Bay and the iconic Merlion Park.

For nature lovers, lovely spaces at night where you can find many spots to rest and stare at people and flora include Fort Canning Park and Singapore Botanic Gardens.

Light shows at Marina Bay Sands and Jewel Changi Airport will likely stop you in your tracks too.

Where should I go after 12 AM in Singapore?

If you’re still up for some fun after 12:00 AM, you can go check out Singapore’s late-night food offerings from Lau Pa Sat and other 24/7 restaurants dotting the city to satisfy your midnight cravings.

After stuffing yourself, you can likewise stuff your souvenir bags by buying random items from 24/7 shopping destinations like DON DON DONKI in Orchard Road or scouring the many aisles of Mustafa Centre in Little India.

Singapore is home to Asia’s finest cocktail bars too, including The Other Room and Atlas, so head over to a bar or two to get a taste of world-class mixes!

We look further into these places and more with our list of top dining, shopping, and cocktail spots in Singapore that are open until late!

Top Late-Night Dining Spots in Singapore

Singapore has plenty of dining spots that cater to nocturnal foodies, and many dishes come at reasonable prices! Here are some of the best places to get a late-night bite.

Lau Pa Sat
Good Bites

Ayza’s Restaurant

14. Sample various local and foreign cuisines at Lau Pa Sat

Address	18 Raffles Quay, Singapore 048582
Contact Details	+65 6220-2138

Singapore has a reputation for deftly preserving old structures, and the city is living up to it by extending conservation efforts to markets like the iconic Lau Pa Sat (formerly Telok Ayer Market).

The over 120-year-old building was monumental in part because of its position at the heart of the business district and its colonial-style clock tower that had stood the test of time (no pun intended).

Now operating as a hawker center, Lau Pa Sat offers the best of Singapore’s local cuisine and more. You can spot savory Hainanese chicken rice, aromatic biryanis, burgers with an Asian twist, and even lechon kawali.

15. Enjoy fusion western dishes at Good Bites

Address	5 Bishan St, 14 Bishan Sports Hall, #03-01, Singapore 579783
Contact Details	+65 6970-0233 \| hello@goodbites.com.sg

The Good Bites cafe is much raved about for its phenomenal tom yum pasta, and we think you’ll understand it very well once you taste the fusion western dish yourself!

You can order either chicken or seafood, with both of them swimming in the restaurant’s signature tom yum broth.

The dining spot’s signature iced coffee selection is also delightful, especially for guests trying to keep themselves awake during the late hours.

Moreover, the place has a charmingly welcoming vibe, which we believe makes their servings tastier.

16. Stuff yourself with big servings at 89.7 Supper Club

Address	1016 Geylang East Ave 3, #01-165, Singapore 389731
Contact Details	+65 6841-6897
Opening Hours	Open 24 hours daily

The wide selection of halal-certified food served 24 hours daily made 89.7 Supper Club a favorite dining stop at Geylang. The food court has everything you can find in hawker centers, from chicken to kebab to prata.

A few Chinese, Indian, and western dishes are added to the mix for variety too. That’s because even non-Muslims flock to the supper destination for its reasonable prices.

Attention big eaters: the servings here are ultra generous!

17. Chomp on affordable Indian food at Srisun Express

Address	56 Serangoon Garden Way, Singapore 555952

Expect the place to get crowded frequently though.

If you can’t come in person, Srisun Express can deliver your food to you. Just order through its website to do so!

Contact Details	+65 6509 1611
Opening Hours	Daily: 10:30 AM – 6:00 AM

Haidilao Hot Pot knows that treating yourself to great food is not bound by time (well, almost).

The restaurant’s many branches, including this one in Marina Bay Sands, are open past 12 AM, allowing the night owls to splurge on authentic Chinese hot pot with all its flavorful soup bases and fresh ingredients.

And while eating here is a bit pricey, you can expect to be pampered by the wait staff and the taste of the food!

How much does Haidilao cost per person?

You would spend around $45 to $55 per person for a meal in Haidilao. The cost includes the soup bases, dipping condiments, meats, veggies, tofu, meatballs, flour cakes, and refillable tea.

But because people often form a beeline to the popular restaurant and have to wait 1 to 2 hours, you as a guest can take advantage of some of the restaurant’s freebies including free snacks and drinks, and, wait for it—free manicure services!

How many Haidilao are there in Singapore?

Haidilao branches in Singapore number 19 locations as of writing.

You can check out the hot pot giant at Clarke Quay, 313@Somerset, IMM, Vivo City, Bedok Mall, Royal Square @ Novena, Plaza Singapura, Seletar Mall, Sun Plaza, Paya Lebar Quarter, Century Square, Marina Square, Northshore Plaza, City Square, Marina Bay Sands, Wisma Atria, Cube, Bugis+, and Downtown East.

We recommend booking your seats way ahead of time to avoid hassles. The contact details for each branch are available on the restaurant’s official website.

19. Dig into Thai favorites at Ayza’s Restaurant

Address	508 Jurong West St, 52/01-170, Singapore 640508
Contact Details	+65 6756-4963
Opening Hours	Open 24 hours daily

If you’re close to Jurong West and looking for Thai Muslim food, the family-owned Ayza’s Restaurant will welcome you any time of the day. We love here the extensive fried rice selection, tom yum soup options, and the tasty oxtail soup.

Other than Thai cuisine, the restaurant also includes Indian favorites briyani, Maggie goreng, and mutton chops. A few western dishes are also included in the mix for variety.

Better yet, the bar’s interior is a masterclass in opulence with its art deco details, deep colors, and ornate high ceiling.

Dapper bartenders and an attentive wait staff add a beautiful human element to the place’s highbrow elegance. You’ll feel welcome despite the sheer luxury surrounding you.

Does ATLAS have a dress code?

ATLAS observes a smart casual dress code from 5:00 PM onwards. Shorts or slippers are not allowed, and men should wear long pants and covered shoes.

Contact Details	+65 9389-9301 \| hello@nutmegclove.com
Opening Hours	Monday to Thursday: 5:00 PM – 12:00 AM Friday to Saturday: 5:00 PM – 1:00 AM

If you’re not so fond of high-brow bars, Nutmeg and Clove is an alternative that offers the same level of unforgettable cocktail experience minus the bling.

The cozy bar serves themed, progressive cocktails whose names are inspired by Singapore history (which makes for an educational session too). Of course, the drinks are made with local ingredients.

The bar closes much earlier than others, though, so we recommend coming before midnight to enjoy the vibe and your drinks to the fullest.

23. Join the hip crowd at 28 Hong Kong Street

The inconspicuous 28 Hong Kong Street is the ideal stop for night owls looking for a more laid-back atmosphere. Its unnamed facade might be less than welcoming, but its interiors’ coziness is a different story.

The overall vibe of the bar makes it comfortable for guests to loosen up, which is further encouraged by the hip-hop and soul music in the background.

28 Hong Kong Street serves artisanal spirits and American-style craft cocktails. The latter is a list of classic, familiar options, like the Swizzle and the Julep, but lives up to the hip reputation of the place thanks to the bartenders’ creative interpretations.

Best Late-Night Shopping Spots in Singapore

Shopping after 12:00 AM might just be the ideal retail therapy session for night-owl shoppers. It’s also usual that fewer people are buying things this late, which is perfect for shopaholics who have had enough of large crowds.

Moreover, the city’s late-night retail destinations offer many affordable items and sometimes rare finds, to the delight of the most ardent shoppers in us.

Here are some shopping spots in Singapore that you can check out even past midnight.

Mustafa Centre
Giant Express
Don Don Donki
FairPrice Xtra
Sheng Siong Supermarket
Scarlett Supermarket

24. Find (almost) everything at Mustafa Centre

Address	145 Syed Alwi Rd, Mustafa Centre, Singapore 207704
Contact Details	+65 6295-5855
Opening Hours	Open 24 hours daily

Little India’s Mustafa Centre is no doubt the ultimate shopping haven. Not only is it open 24/7, but the goodies available here are also (figuratively) limitless.

It’s a supermarket + mall in an indoor setup where you can find fruits, home items, appliances, school supplies, watches, clothes, shoes, jewelry, and even gold and silver.

Popular brands like Dior, Calvin Klein, Marks & Spencer, Bvlgari, Apple, and more dot the multi-level shopping center, and the best thing is that they come at more affordable prices compared to conventional malls.

Another good news: Mustafa Centre starts getting less busy at 11:00 PM onwards, so night owls who don’t want to brave large crowds can enjoy leisure shopping then.

Does Mustafa Centre sell alcohol?

Though you can find almost everything at Mustafa Centre, the shopping destination does not sell alcohol, tobacco, and pork.

This is because these items are prohibited in Indian culture, which the owners of the center observe.

25. Shop like the Japanese do at Don Don Donki

Address	181 Orchard Road, Orchard Central, #B2 01-10/30/43 & B1 15-29/K7, Singapore 238896

Which Don Don Donki is the biggest in Singapore?

The biggest Don Don Donki outlet in Singapore is in City Square Mall, covering 26,000 sq ft of retail space.

A fun fact: The said Don Don Donki outlet is just four minutes away from Mustafa Centre on foot. If you have the energy, we challenge you to conquer the two massive stores in one night!

While known for being open 24/7, some of the outlets close earlier. You can check the operating hours on the store’s website.

Why is Don Quijote called Don Don Donki in Singapore?

Singapore’s Japanese Don Don Donki is actually called Don Quijote (or affectionately DONKI) in its native Japan.

However, a restaurant with the same name exists in Singapore, prompting the business to adopt the Don Don Donki name instead.

Recently, though, Don Quijote has been looking to rebrand by naming its subsequent stores JONETZ.

What Else to Do in Singapore at Night

The tickets are available for purchase at the Clarke Quay ticketing counter.
