Time Out says

Clarke Quay – a refurbished riverside development of old warehouses – consists almost exclusively of bars and restaurants. A plastic jellyfish-looking roof has been built overhead, with fountains and huge fans in place to cool the customers moving between venues. Anyone studying branding should certainly visit, as it seems mandatory that each venue must be differently and strongly themed. Visitors from the UK might sense a similarity to a modern High Street at home (read: Croydon), with Aussie visitors feeling that this could be Singapore's Bondi. But who cares? Nobody, judging from the barely containable crowds there on weekends. If you like to bar hop furiously with everything under one roof, then Clarke Quay is for you; if you like kooky little places with no theme, then it’s not.

What’s on

Valentino House Party Pop-Up

Fashionistas, beauty obsessives and anyone who loves a good photo op will want to clear their calendars. From June 5 to 14, Valentino Beauty is taking over CQ @ Clarke Quay Block B with its immersive House Party pop-up, a multi-sensory celebration marking the Southeast Asian launch of Born in Roma Purple Melancholia. Inspired by the chaotic charm of the 90s and early 2000s house parties, the experience transforms the space into a nostalgic dreamscape – complete with a living room, kitchen, teen's room and master bedroom, each filled with retro details, music, fragrance and plenty of Instagram-worthy moments. Discover Valentino Beauty's latest fragrance duo – Born in Roma Purple Melancholia Donna and Uomo – while trying fan-favourite makeup products like the Spike lip collection, Colour Crush Blush and Go-Cushion Glow. Think of it as a maximalist’s beauty playground where you're encouraged to swatch, spritz and serve looks. The party doesn't stop there. Local favourites Birds of Paradise, Equate Coffee and Concocted Affairs are serving up ice creams, coffees and cocktails inspired by the fragrance collection. On June 6 and 13, the space also turns into a music-led party with guest DJs spinning throughout the day and night. Best of all, entry is free with registration here.
