Robertson Quay is often described by Singaporeans as a milder relation of Singapore’s famed Boat Quay which is known to be the best entertainment district in the country. Robertson Quay offers much more laid back and tranquil dining options on the banks of Singapore River.
A line of Singapore hotels can be seen hugging the river against a background of the old historic buildings of Singapore, Robertson Quay is the perfect locale for a romantic evening out. Enjoy a walk and leisurely dinner at the many alfresco dining outlets, wine bars, arts houses and hotel cafes.
Each pub or night club in Robertson Quay is unique and carries its own distinct character. Some have an Oriental flavor with Chinese food on the menu, red lanterns at the entrance and employees attired in traditional Chinese clothing. Others have more western themes and have a chic, modern outlook some can be categorized as sports bars while others prefer to remain more mysterious. However the best thing about clubbing in Robertson Quay is that most clubs don’t have a cover charge!
Robertson Quay used to be the site for merchants’ offices, warehouses and jetties, where they would facilitate the loading and unloading of goods. Children would often stand and wave from the old Kampong (village) houses along the banks. Many a time, they would take off their clothes and jump in for a cool afternoon swim.
However Mohammed Sultan road on Robertson Quay offers guests much more fast paced entertainment.
