Singapore’s once most celebrated hotspot for anyone seeking a good time has received a total refresh. Delicately balancing nostalgia with modernity, the all-new Club 5 boasts a diverse range of craft cocktails, delectable bar nibbles and great music. Situated in the heart of Singapore’s most vibrant and thriving historical spaces, Club 5 is characterized by its opulent use of heavy, brass-finished glass doors, Art Deco furnishing, marble flooring, smoked mirrors, and the arching brass centerpiece that houses over 150 bottles of classic and homemade creations behind the bar.

Beyond its swanky interior lies an ingenious cocktail menu which pays tribute to the historic district that it’s been set upon. Curated and prepared by Head Bartender Ong Jun Han, the Club 5 menu is thus inspired by scents, flavours, heritage, and sounds of Singapore’s most iconic and culturally-rich zones, including, Kampong Glam, Bugis, Beach Road, and Arab Street.
