Originating from Shanghai, Bar Rouge raises the bar – pun intended – for nightlife in Singapore. Perched on the 71st storey of Swissôtel The Stamford and topped with performances throughout its 2-storey-high space, this is definitely one for the extravagance.
Aerial acrobatics.

If you haven’t had enough of the acrobatic stunts from The Greatest Showman, make sure you hit up Bar Rogue because unlike the usual club, this one has aerial acrobatic acts above you!
Club washrooms generally do not have a very good rep. But hey, the ones here certainly are amusing with these Singlish neon signs.

Organised by a group called The Council, known for hosting wild pop-up parties everywhere from rooftops to industrial warehouses, Tuff Club will be open for partying in April 2018 and will only be around for 3 short months.

Inspired by Trim and Fit (TAF) Club from the old primary school days, Tuff Club’s slogan is “It’s leg day every day at Tuff Club, so why run when you can dance?” Here, everything is carefree – even the dress codes, where comfy sneakers are the recommended kicks to don.
Its exact location and opening date are still a secret at the moment – the only hint given was “a Chinese restaurant in the CBD” – but you can sign up for first dibs on their webpage to make sure that you don’t miss out on anything.
If all the classic clubs are ”been there, done that” for you, make sure you check out these fresh hot clubs for a great night out. These new kids on the block are certainly worth a visit with their intriguing concepts and great music scene.
