After being recommended by a friend who lives in Singapore we went to the Dallas Bar which is owned by an Aussie. There are heaps of restaurants all trying to bid for your custom. Our Naval friend told us about one restaurant that made Chicken Parmies the size of the plate & the place is owned by an Australian. The beers are nice and cold, parmies were massive and the service excellent. I had a steak which was delicious. Definitely go back again.

If you dont like having beer and noisy pub on the other side of boat quay, you can enjoy the peace at the museum side like I did. I love the vibe here. It is the place I met the love of my life too. Extremely recomend to couples to visit boat quay, sitting in front of Empress restaurant the light is gentle and the breezy feeling.

Any Singaporean old enough to drink, party and pubbing in the 90s would have fond memories of Boat Quay. Easily accessible by any public transport, Boat Quay had been a centre of Singapore pubbing, eat and drink culture since the 90s and also an important part of Singapore's skyline feature. Used to be the coolie house and godowns in Singapore's founding years, it transformed into a haven for riverside pubbing and alfresco dining. Since the 90s saw many trend reshaping the demographics. Started out with many pubs and clubs with live performances, then slowly evolved onto riverlined restaurants serving moderate to high end fares to tourists as the pubs moved to its alleys and back street circular road. A few years back as it dwindles, an initiative started to make the back street, circular road pedestrians only on weekend's evening to bring back party goers. Now, in the Pandemic 2020 its quite a challenge for all the tenants and stakeholders. Hopefully when tourism resumes Boat Quay will return its formal glory
