GAY NIGHT IN SINGAPORE
You may already know, but we warn you: a night out in Singapore is expensive. Restaurants and drinks prices are quite high, but we advise you to at least go for a drink because there are some gay bars in Singapore to choose from.
For a night out, most of the LGBT venues are located around Neil Road in Chinatown. There are no gay clubs but there are some bars, namely Dorothy's Bar, Tantric Bar, Backstage Bar and Lluvia.
The nearest gay bar in Singapore to us was Dorothy's Bar. We were staying in Chinatown and it was about a 1 minute walk away!
It's very easy to find, just go up a few stairs and you're there. It has an interior and also a large balcony overlooking the street. You are always greeted with a smile, very friendly staff and a great cocktail list. Don't forget to take the famous photo with the 'I am a friend of Dorothy's' sign!
We only visited Dorothy's because we had very little time, but whether this or another bar, go out at night and visit one of them. Support gay business.
For dinner, in addition to the various restaurants that exist throughout the city, if you want to save money and eat very well in the same place, we advise you to dine at the Lau Pa Sat or Maxwell Food Center, depending on the area where you are. We've been to both and the food is delicious and well priced.
And if you've already thought about this question, we answer: yes, there is McDonald's in Singapore!
HELPFUL TIPS WHEN VISITING SINGAPORE
- We took a trip through Asia, 3 countries: Singapore, Cambodia and Vietnam for a month and a half and we always like to have mobile internet. Many people know that you can buy a SIM card on arrival, but this time we opted for something different and very practical: an e-SIM. No physical card is needed, we bought it online still in Portugal before starting the trip and only activated it upon arrival in Singapore. We can say that it has always worked very well and it only takes one person to have it installed, because you could share the internet with another device. Easy to install and top-up was very easy too. You just have to pay attention if your equipment is compatible with an e-SIM. We bought ours at airalo.com
- If you are staying in Singapore for a few days, organize your itinerary/routes well with the main attractions you want to visit.
- You can't smoke almost anywhere. There are designated smoking areas. Areas without these places, as long as it's next to a rubbish bin with an ashtray and away from people, there shouldn't be a problem. That's what we did and it went well.
- Cigarettes are only sold in small street supermarkets.
- Cigarettes and alcohol are very expensive in Singapore.
- If you want to save on meals and still eat out, go to the Food Centre's. They are very safe and clean.
- You can drink tap water.
- Always cross on the crosswalk.
- You are going to walk a lot: wear comfortable shoes.
- The weather in Singapore is very hot and humid. We visited in December and there are sporadic rains at this time and it happened: for about half an hour/1 hour it rains heavily without stopping.
- If you don't have much time to visit the city, in our opinion, you can skip Little India. We visited, it's different, but if there was little time we could skip it.
