Tanjong Beach Club

Located on off the coast of Singapore in Sentosa, this pet-friendly club by the beach is a getaway from the hustle and bustle of the mainland during the weekdays. It turns into a hyped up nightclub on the weekend with plenty of good vibes and eye candy.

White Label Records

This record store-and-bar hybrid is located off Chinatown at alternative nightlife epicentre Ann Siang Hill. While it may be smaller in size compared to other venues on this round-up, it definitely makes up for it with its music offerings.

Moving between Golden Mile Tower and Shaw Tower's rooftops, this party night subverts the mainstream vibes of Clarke Quay's clubs with a sweaty mishmash of funk and house.

Straits Clan

This members-only club is known for its beautifully designed spaces and equally stunning clientele. It's not all prim and proper, though. Its monthly Saturday "Nu Majestic Nights" and occaisional thematic parties have earned the reputation of a wild night out.

Horizon99

Known for holding parties in off-beat locations such as inaccessible forests and gritty industrial buildings, this young collective of DJs have been the talk of the town since they appeared on the scene a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, rumour has it that they might not be hosting their raves anymore.

The Headquarters by The Council

If you're looking for an underground and no-frills venue to let your hair down, look no further than The Headquaters by The Council. Its raw, stripped back, and grungy space takes a backseat to its full-on experimental techno.
