Weekends of strong cocktails and grinding to remixes of Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Cher help keep the community feeling upbeat while they fight for acceptance. Take a trip down queer street with this compilation of gay bars and LGBT clubs for a great night out.
The upbeat but not deafening music creates a fun atmosphere that allows for a conversation without shouting. The second floor contains a pool table and darts for casual entertainment through the night. Girls enjoy men-watching here and spotting the occasional B-list influencer or Mediacorp artiste. Get knackered with this toxic concoction of god-knows-what. If you prefer a sweet drink with a tropical flavour, this mix of gin, vodka and grenadine is a yummy way of feeling a buzz.
A twist on the classic Long Island Tea using lychee liqueur, which gives this drink a refreshing touch without compromising on its potency. A lychee fruit soaked in liquor, served in a shot glass, will get you dizzy so people instantly look better. Taboo Club was recently renovated with an LED-lit walkway that makes you feel like you are entering a gay spaceship from the s. The music is the usual handbag house remix genre that gay boys and basic girls like us love to grind to.
The ground-level dance floor is packed on Saturday nights, and the second and third storeys are more laid-back for people who want to have a conversation. Limited slots are available per night, but play it cool and arrive at about 9. The retro themes attract a slightly older crowd with occasional young boys in their early 20s who appreciate a good throwback or two. This newly opened restaurant and bar serves items such as stingray in tamarind broth, poached squid and cured tiger prawns.
Relax at their bar on the second floor with an exposed brick wall and original artworks. Indulge in desserts with local flavours like pandan, and artisanal cocktails that contain ingredients like tea and herbs so you can eat, pray, love, and get drunk to your favourite Lady Gaga track.
