Robertson Quay is a thriving area of Singapore situated along the river. A boom in high-end condos and hotels has seen restaurants, bars and cafes sprouting up in abundance over the last few years, and this is now one of Singapore’s most popular nightlife districts. By day dog walkers and pram-pushing mothers meet for coffees at the tree-shaded boutique cafes along the river, while by night the crowd descends for dinner and drinks at the huge variety of relaxed yet buzzing alfresco bars and restaurants.
