Clarke Quay

Clarke Quay is a historical riverside quay in Singapore, located within the Singapore River Planning Area. The quay is situated upstream from the mouth of the Singapore River and Boat Quay.

At present, five blocks of restored warehouses house various restaurants and nightclubs. There are also moored Chinese junks (tongkangs) that have been refurbished into floating pubs and restaurants. The Cannery is one of the anchor tenants of the place. There are over 5 different concepts in one block. Another anchor tenant, The Arena, will be home to Singapore’s First Permanent Illusion Show (starting August 2008) starring J C Sum and ‘Magic Babe’ Ning. The G-MAX reverse bungee, the first in Singapore, is located at the entrance which opened in November 2003.

Notable restaurants and nightclubs include Hooters and Indochine. River cruises and river taxis on the Singapore River can be accessed from Clarke Quay. One of its most popular attractions is its exciting host of CQ’s signature events happening once every quarter.

After the rejuvenation exercise that began in August 2022, Clarke Quay, now known as CQ @ Clarke Quay, features three zones and a new mix of clients that rebrands the attraction as a “day-to-night” destination with pet-friendly amenities and new tenants like Fairprice Finest. Warehouses at Block B were also decorated with a new mural by artists Yip Yew Chong and tobyato.
