Once Singapore’s tiniest pop-up on Club Street, No Sleep Club has evolved into a larger-but-still-intimate all-day bar, restaurant and café hybrid in Chinatown, earning a spot among Asia’s top bars soon after opening in 2019. The venue—helmed by veteran bartenders from Operation Dagger and Proof & Company—blurs categories: think a neighborhood drinking den by evening and a cozy café‑restaurant by day. No Sleep Club’s cocktail list focuses on inventive yet approachable drinks: signature pours include Hay and Apples (toasted hay scotch with fermented apples, around S$22) and Tom Yum and Melon (carbonated honeydew with Thai‑herb distillate, around S$23), plus a tequila-based espresso martini and the summery three‑lime vodka soda—made to beat Singapore’s heat. Food includes small and medium plates, snacks like Korean‑fried cauliflower, plus creative bar bites and brunch-style offerings. The kitchen, now led by in‑house chef Peter Smit, offers elevated sharables (bone marrow mash, grilled octopus, donut‑stuffed cheesecake) and a growing wine selection. The atmosphere stays edgy and creative: exposed brick, fridge‑lit shelves, crew tees, and upbeat service. Dress code? “Not naked,” according to the founders—making it casual, inclusive, and lively for all kinds of nights. All day service begins at 3 pm, shifting from coffee and light bites to cocktails and snacks by evening. It’s ideal for relaxed afternoons, early drinks, or spontaneous nights out without pretense but with personality.
