4am liquor sales in Boat Quay, Clarke Quay to continue following year-long trial

Bars along parts of the Singapore River will be permitted to sell alcohol until 4am on Fridays and Saturdays following a successful year-long trial, announced Minister of State Alvin Tan on Monday. The decision comes after encouraging results from the pilot in Boat Quay Historic District, Upper Circular Road, and Clarke Quay Conservation Area.

The measures will be formalized starting Tuesday, with input from the Singapore River One group to maintain safety and security. The trial began on August 18 last year, alongside road closures and new bar openings in the district, which includes Boat Quay Waterfront, Circular Road, Lorong Telok, and Canton Street.
