4am liquor sales in Boat Quay, Clarke Quay to continue following year-long trial
The police approved 92 applications from establishments at Boat Quay, Clarke Quay and Upper Circular Road to extend their liquor trading hours.
Bars along Singapore River will be permitted to sell alcohol until 4am on Fridays and Saturdays following a successful year-long pilot program, announced by Minister of State Alvin Tan on Monday (Aug 17). The decision formalizes measures that began on Aug 18 last year, aiming to boost Singapore's tourism and nightlife offerings.
The pilot, which included road closures and new bar applications, was conducted in the Boat Quay Historic District, Upper Circular Road, and Clarke Quay Conservation Area. With strong support from businesses and seamless cooperation among government agencies, the extended hours are expected to enhance business vibrancy and create jobs in the sector.
Safety and security remain top priorities, with the government working closely with local stakeholders to maintain a safe environment for businesses, patrons, and residents.
