Where to Go in Singapore (For the Pride Explorer)

1. Ebar

A longstanding favorite in the LGBTQ+ scene, Ebar is a laid-back, no-frills watering hole in Tanjong Pagar. Expect friendly vibes, affordable drinks, and spontaneous singalongs to pop classics. It’s perfect for pre-drinks or a chill night out with a diverse and welcoming crowd.

2. Mami’s Bar

Tucked away in the buzzy Duxton Hill area, Mami’s is a cozy, queer-friendly bar with a stylish edge. The cocktails are well-crafted, and the vibe leans intimate - think date-night or deep conversations over drinks. Expect a good mix of LGBTQ+ patrons and allies.

3. Restroom

Bold, cheeky, and unapologetically queer, Restroom is themed like its name - complete with neon-lit urinals and outrageous decor. It’s a great late-night stop with upbeat energy, campy performances, and drag shows that keep the crowd buzzing.

4. Salud

A newer spot with Latin flair, Salud is fast becoming a go-to for LGBTQ+ bar-hoppers who want rhythm with their rum. Salsa nights, Latin beats, and an inclusive, open-minded crowd make it a fun spot for both dancing and mingling.

5. Five Ten (Gay Location)

Make sure you head to the LGBTQ+ Five Ten (ask locals - they’ll know). This one’s designed for the queer crowd, with pulsing dance beats, themed nights, and an unfiltered, all-are-welcome energy. The other location caters more to straight patrons, so double-check before you go!

6. Slippery Slope

One of the trendier queer bars, Slippery Slope offers curated cocktails, creative interiors, and a rotating DJ lineup. This is the spot if you're looking for a fashionable queer night out, with Instagram-worthy aesthetics and good beats.

7. Rabbit's Hole

An underground favorite (sometimes literally), Rabbit Hole is where you go for after-hours fun. Often hidden or unmarked, it feels exclusive and secretive, attracting a stylish, artsy LGBTQ+ crowd. The music is loud, the space tight, and the vibe unforgettable.

8. Sweat

A themed party more than a fixed bar - Sweat pops up regularly with high-energy LGBTQ+ raves and dance nights. Known for shirtless guys, neon lights, and wild dancing, it's not for the faint-hearted. Think Berlin-meets-Bangkok in Singapore.

9. APT

Short for “A Place To...”, APT is an upscale, intimate queer bar with incredible drinks and a focus on hospitality. It’s classy, moody, and less about wild partying - more about conversation, connection, and craft cocktails.
