FAQS
Do nightclubs have dress codes?
Most nightclubs and lounges in Singapore require smart casual attire, at a minimum. Slippers, flip flops, sneakers, t-shirts, and shorts are usually frowned upon. Don’t be surprised if you are denied entry into the club, if you turn up wearing any of these items.
Is it compulsory to be a member to enter a club?
Not all bars and clubs are for members only. There are some high-end lounges that operate on a membership or premium program, but there are just as many other clubs that are open to walk-ins and tourists. So, to avoid disappointment, always check with the club before you head out for a night of partying.
Will I have to pay a minimum spend or cover charge?
Most popular bars and clubs demand a cover charge on entry. This can be done for as little as $20 or as much as $100 per person. Usually, drinks are included in this price (one drink or more, depending on the amount paid). If you reserve a table or a room, expect to pay upwards of $400 at most establishments.
What can I expect when I visit an Indian dance club?
Desi bars and clubs in Singapore are no different from any other dance club. There will be either a DJ or live band playing the latest Indian music hits. These clubs usually offer a variety of delicious Indian bar food and snacks. The crowd will be largely Asian, but in Singapore, you always find a cosmopolitan mix, wherever you go. Entrance or cover charges apply, especially during public holidays and busy weekends.
CONCLUSION
As the nightlife in Singapore keeps evolving, it’s often hard to keep track of what’s new and what’s no longer trending. Add to this, the fact that several clubs open and close before you can even visit them. This list of the best Indian dance clubs in Singapore will help you plan a fun-filled night out on the town.
