Hey Nardi, tell us again about how you're going to Japan. How exciting for you!!!
Besides the bars, not sure what else of interest, so listed a few other things...Singapore is a fantastic place to live with very high quality of life but as a visitor not as 'adventurous' as some other places in the region. Taxi's are quite cheap and usually easy to get.
Later in evening, after Clarke Quay -
In Orchard Towers, Ipanema is the best place. Crazy Horse upstairs on 4th floor is a bit 'crazy' with a mix of, uh, 'ladies'...
BRIX BAR in basement @ Grand Hyatt on Scott's Road - one of the best bars in Singapore...worth the cover. Go around/after 10pm, or earlier and get a seat at the bar and watch the crowd of ladies pile in.
Marina Bay Sands casino across street from hotel (need to show your passport)
Ku De Ta on top floor of Marina Bay Sands hotel
Tanjong Beach Club on Sentosa
The Long Bar at Raffles Hotel
Level 33 at Marina Bay Financial Centre
CHIJMES (pronounced 'Chimes') - more bar/restaurant options. Insomnia was a favorite place but has since closed.
Gardens by the Bay
Singapore Flyer
Night Safari @ Singapore Zoo
American International School in Woodlands up north is amazing, though probably not worth the trip as not much else up there but decent area with actual houses vs. condos nearer the city.
Universal Studios on Sentosa
Costa Del Sol on Bayshore Road - where I used to live,
Shopping - Orchard Road; too many other malls
Not familiar with many of the local clubs where a lot of the SPG's hang out, except for Zouk. Most are a 18-30 crowd. Can check this out: http://www.singapore-guide.com/top10/top10-singapore-clubs.htm#
Boat Quay - early evening, after work crowd along the river; many bars and restaurants to choose from
Mogambo's - ring the bell and buy a round of shots for everyone at the bar (not in the entire bar, just the area where the bell is; or wait for someone else to do it and get free shots yourself). Thursday - Saturday usually gets packed around happy hour and again later at night
Red Dot - restaurant/bar that makes its own beers; laid back environment
1-Altitude - rooftop bar at 1 Raffles Place, on 63rd floor of OUB Centre. World's highest al fresco bar. Entrance is on Battery Road from elevator outside the building. Great views
Clarke Quay - early evening, post-Boat Quay, up to 11pm but can go on later depends where you are. So many places can just bounce from one to another all night
Pump Room - brewpub and club with live bands. Great place and smack in the middle of Clarke Quay by the fountains. Thursdays - Saturdays has a great band if they're still playing there. Lead singer wears glasses and a fedora sometimes. Packed house. Think the band is ZuQ & Jive Talkin. Also, Jay & Frenz another good band.
Highlander - next door to Pump Room
Brewerkz - Brewpub with big selection of beers and burgers, steaks, sandwiches, etc. - opposite side of river from Pump Room
Robertson Quay - extension of Clarke Quay, but bit quieter with more restaurants
East Coast
Smokey's - 73 Joo Chiat Place; BBQ ribs and sports on TV
East Coast Park - wake boarding, skate board park, Seafood Centre - JUMBO for chili crab and Long Beach for black pepper crab, Brussels Sprouts for Belgian food and beers, hawker centre for cheap eats (rated one of best hawker centres in Singapore)
Any questions, let me know...

MWG, gave Nardi a run-down of Japan but not a single 'thanks for the info'...tho he did 'like' the first comment.
Hope some of this info is useful. Enjoy.
No problem.
Unfortunately, not there now. Job situation prompted a move back to the states and planning next move while trying to start a tech business.
Plaza Singapura has one of the best dim sum places - Tim Ho Wan. Din Tai Fung is also a good place. Multiple locations for each.
Blu Jaz Cafe along Ophir Road is another decent place to go and hang out. Many other restaurants/bars around there.
Look forward to your report...cheers

Krazy kat is like the Rick Steves of benchwarmers with even more knowledge. Good stuff.
Hey krazykat, while I appreciate all of your fantastic input re: Singapore, you could have explicitly told me Brix Bar is 100% prostitutes.
For future reference, I like to try my hand the old fashioned way.
Still though, chicks here are schmokes.

The funny thing is, I had a filipina ask to go home with me tonight, but I wasn't really feeling her. So I tried my hand at the brix bar, then the MB Sands roof.... havent seen a civilian since i left the filipina.
This town is fukked.

Yes and yes. Heard about the beach party on Sentosa on sunday. As for tonight, met a singapore socialite who i may go out with again.
Chicks in this town seem much less approachable than in my previous spots. But I walked up solo to a group of five last night and it wound up being a wild night.
Nice one! Gutsy move. Local girls aren't easy to score but they're a good catch. Where'd you meet?
Brewerkz at Riverside Point might have the Seton Hall - Xavier game going on now. Want to take it easier, then head to East Coast Park, rent a bike, try wake boarding, and chill at Harry's or Brussels Sprouts. Lots of people bbq'ing, running, cycling, skate boarding, etc. Good change of pace for an hour or two. Can be difficult to get a taxi from there, though. Enjoy.

Im beat for outdoor activities. Last night was a 6am kind of night. But thanks for the info.
As for where we met, i took your advice to hit up Boat Quay, met some people and ended up in some club about five blocks from Mogambo.
Shit place, like every club ever. But very fun regardless.
