SINGAPORE NIGHTLIFE: Boat Quay (Restaurants, Pubs & Cafes)

A short walk from The Fullerton Hotel is Boat Quay. The crowd was healthy, energetic and hungry on a cool Wednesday evening. What a lovely stroll here it was! Check out some of the statues along the Singapore River, or take a seat on one of the steps by the river. More about Boat Quay (from URA): Boat Quay, now famous for its thriving nightlife, was once the centre of trading activities along the Singapore River. The area owes its unique charm and character to the warehouses and shophouses that line the river. In 1989, Boat Quay was designated a conservation area, and restoration and rehabilitation transformed the area into a thriving entertainment and leisure hub. Today, bumboats serve as river taxis for tourists, while restored shophouses facing the river are backed by modern skyscrapers, forming one of Singapore’s signature skylines. Although the river is no longer the commercial lifeline of the country, Boat Quay is still a popular place for food, entertainment and an after-hours hangout for the working crowd at nearby Raffles Place. The businesses and financial houses along its banks embody Singapore’s prosperity, which was once dependent on the Singapore River. They may no longer contribute to trade and maritime commerce, but the shophouses and warehouses of Boat Quay retain their beautiful facades and serve as reminders of the area’s rich history.
