The revamped CQ @ Clarke Quay will offer close to 60 dining, retail and lifestyle concepts that offer unique day-and-night experiences!
The rejuvenated CQ @ Clarke Quay was officially unveiled on 26 April 2024, marking the culmination of an asset enhancement initiative (AEI) that has transformed the development into an iconic riverfront day-and-night destination. CQ @ Clarke Quay is now a vibrant hub of excitement and entertainment with an expanded range of day activities and nightlife attractions for locals and tourists.
Day-and-Night Experiences Across 3 Zones
- The Riverfront (Blocks A and D) features riverside dining in an alfresco or heritage shophouse setting;
- The Warehouses (Block B) offers an exciting blend of retail, lifestyle and F&B concepts in a conserved godown; and
- The Circuit (Block C and E) showcases high-energy concepts, entertainment and F&B establishments.
New Concepts Available Now
New concepts at CQ @ Clarke Quay include Fairprice Finest Clarke Quay, which offers a wide range of products curated in collaboration with Singapore-based partners. Its Grocer Food Hall, a food experience zone, offers “You Pick, We Cook” services as well as curated cocktails infused with local flavours that are exclusive to CQ @ Clarke Quay.
Another new concept is Swee Lee Clarke Quay, which devoted approximately 60% of the repurposed warehouse unit to curate an experiential and community space. The musical instrument store houses a bar and café, an artist lounge, vinyl listening stations, a creator corner with music editing set-ups and a large hall that doubles as a dining space and performance venue. This is Swee Lee’s largest outlet in Singapore.
Visitors looking for day to night activities can check out Home Singapore. By day, Home Dawn welcomes visitors with delicious brunch specialties; at sundown, Home Dusk transitions into an electrifying live music lounge.
Pet-friendly Amenities
Beyond the diverse array of day-and-night options, CQ @ Clarke Quay has also unveiled a comprehensive suite of pet-friendly amenities, catering to the needs of valued visitors and their furry companions. These amenities include well-placed pet hydration bays, waste bins, and designated pet parking zones, providing convenience to visitors.
Furthermore, pet owners can enjoy dining at a selection of eight pet-friendly establishments along the picturesque riverside, each labelled with pet-friendly logos for easy identification.
Blending Heritage with Modernity
Seven warehouses have been restored by preserving their godown typology while adorning them in new colours.
The façade of the warehouses along Tan Tye Place has also been painted with a mural by local artists Yip Yew Chong and tobyato that is inspired by Clarke Quay’s heritage as a Teochew enclave.
Upgraded steps that double up as seats have also been added to the landing of Read Bridge, paying tribute to the Bridge’s historical role as a communal space. Complemented by a new accessibility ramp, these seats incorporate upcycled wood pieces from the Twa Kows, historical cargo vessels that were previously located at CQ @ Clarke Quay.
