Best party venues in Singapore

Let your hair down and be on top of the world (or the CBD, at least) at Empire, a penthouse lounge, decked out in chic minimalistic furniture, that offers a panoramic view of the Marina Bay. While most of the partying is done al fresco, there’s an indoor VIP area (minimum spend starts from $550) just a stone’s throw away for you to take your party to the next level.

Tanjong Beach Club is known for its poolside parties, but you can also book out a section of the venue to throw your own private bash. Make your reservation at least one week in advance to secure the pool or beach daybeds (minimum spend of $200), especially if you have a group larger than ten. The beachside spot is pet-friendly, so don’t leave your furkids at home. Sunday is the best day to visit: Tanjong Beach Club’s resident DJs such as Kane Ian and Dave Does spin bubbly nu-disco, tropical house and Balearic beats in their weekly edition of Smack My Beach Up. Did we mention that there’s beer pong, too?

In true laid-back Caribbean style, the four-storey Lime House is designed for ‘liming’, the Caribbean concept of hanging out with friends – or what we’d call ‘lepak’. While the first two floors function as the restaurant and bar, the third ($500/halfday, $800/full day) can accommodate up to 80. If your party’s smaller and fond of booze, the 40-seater Rum Lounge offers a cocktail party ($125 per guest), which includes free flow canapés and drinks for 2 hours.
