Local note
The bit the data can't tell you — the reason this page beats Google Maps.
Since the 2024 revamp (CQ @ Clarke Quay) the precinct works day and night, but riverside touts are persistent and prices carry a location markup — grab happy-hour deals (usually before 8pm), or eat cheaper a few minutes away at Boat Quay before the late-night, cover-charge clubs kick in.
