One man's treasure is another man's trash. If St James and Zouk were in a western country they would be empty. Terible music, poor layout, overpriced drinks, and no atmosphere. Infact I think singaporeans have woken up to the fact already as St James is nearly empty anyway. Zouk is always full because it has no competition with regards to a big dance club for youngsters.

St James? Are you having a laugh? Last time I was there an S Club 7 tribute band was on stage!
Zouk only good for the top DJ's it attracts and cheap entrance fee. However it is nothing compared to the likes of Fabric in London.
Going to Jakarta next month so will test out this Malioboro perhaps.

Looks like we r leaving in a fish tank then. The reason I like St James is the "not-intimidating" feeling you get when u arrive there. I can start drinking at Peppermint bar from 6:30pm until 11. then go inside Boiler to see some Filipino gigs, get some good laugh... then heard to Movida to get drunk. Of course, if the govt allows naked dancers like in Jakarta or BKK, it will add to the atmosphere....
haha
so what will you recommend to be a good one in Singapore? or take a 1.5hr flight to JKT to get the kick?

Where or how do you get the intimidating feeling from a nightclub in Singapore?

Perhaps it goes hand in hand with a 6 hour drinking binge with the intent to get drunk?

I wouldn't fly 1,5hrs anywhere to go to a club... What's the big frigging deal?
Never even been to Zouk and I live like 10 minutes away on foot.
You want a fun time, go to Orchard Towers on a Sunday afternoon (lunchtime onwards) for a crazy atmosphere that will make you think it's 2am. Naughty Girl is one such place. Definitely a must-do experience.

when you see clubbers with hanging/swinging balls staring on your face either above the belt or below the belt...

As BKK is getting messy, i give a miss to visit the City of Angels for partying.
Visited Club Ratchada at Cainhill some months ago. Gave it a try as I missed the smiles of thai dancers.
I must admit that this is a nice joint to visit once a while, but not regularly! getting expensive if you start to buy garlands for the Singers....
I love the happy hours... SGD40 for one tower of Tiger beer! Even cheaper Peppermint Club at St James!
