Bars Near Clarke Quay: Where to Drink Late on Carpenter Street

Several people in black embroidered robes sit at a dark wooden bar under pink neon and a hanging pink lantern, wearing red on

Looking for bars near Clarke Quay? Head to Carpenter Street. Neon Pigeon brings urban Japanese plates, cocktails and nightlife to Carpenter Street, a 3 to 5 minute walk from Clarke Quay MRT. The bar is open until 12am, and you can eat properly while you drink.

Why Carpenter Street is worth the short walk

Clarke Quay has no shortage of places to hold a drink. The trick is finding somewhere that also feeds a group, has a soundtrack worth shouting over, and doesn't send you elsewhere at 9pm because the kitchen has gone quiet.

That's the gap we fill. We're at 36 Carpenter Street, #01-01, Singapore 059915. Come for dinner, stay for the night. Or the other way round. Your call.

The bar gets equal billing

We're a 50 Best Discovery bar, and we take that seriously. The cocktail list leans on Japanese ingredients: yuzu, shochu, sake and umeshu all turn up behind the bar. Expect drinks built with care, then served in a room that refuses to whisper.

  • Cocktails: bright, citrusy and bold, made with Japanese spirits and flavours.
  • Sake and shochu: for the table that wants to try something new.
  • Rounds: ordered in threes and fours, because that's how nights out go.

Want to see what's pouring? Have a look at our menu of skewers, raw bar, A5 wagyu, cocktails and sake before you arrive.

Drinks need food. We'll sort you out.

A bar crawl on an empty stomach is a plan with a short shelf life. Our kitchen runs alongside the bar, with sharing plates made for the middle of the table: A5 wagyu, Hokkaido bafun uni, creative sushi rolls, duck gyoza and kushiyaki from the robata.

Serious food, without pretence. Order a few plates, pass them round, order a few more.

The kitchen is open until 10pm (11pm Thursday to Saturday). The bar carries on until 12am. So if the group is running late, you still have time to eat before the last round.

What the night feels like

Somewhere between the second round and the last plate, the room changes. The lights drop, the volume climbs, and the table that was sharing duck gyoza is now shouting the hook to Big Pimpin'.

Nobody plans to sing along. Everybody does.

Think Tokyo backstreets meets Lower East Side energy. Loud music. Louder tables. It's built for friends, groups and big nights out, not for hushed conversation over candlelight. If you want quiet, we're honestly not your place.

Keep an eye on our events page for DJ nights and guest bartenders if you'd like your night out with a bit more going on.
