The Clinic

Nestled in the heart of Singapore’s nightlife scene, The Clinic flips the script on conventional bar design. Posing as a mock “conversion clinic,” this LGBTQ‑friendly hotspot wears its bold concept loud and proud. The exterior might draw you in with its clinical façade, but as soon as you step inside, you’re immersed in an electric world of strobe lighting, provocative artwork, and a fringe‑theater energy that crackles through the air. The interior doubles as a visual manifesto: graffiti‑style slurs transformed into reclaimed badges (“you are a f*g!”, “eat my *ss!”) plastered across photowalls serve as both defiance and empowerment. Here, drag performances aren’t just entertainment—they’re affirmations. The bar counter hums with energy, neon lights flicker, playlists throb, and cocktails flow freely as part of the "medical prescription," mixing martinis, shooters, and more potent concoctions. On opening night—August 6, 2022—the bar kicked off with drag shows and an outrageous marketing stunt: social media provocateur Titus Low spray‑painted “fxxk you” on the walls as a layered act of activism and advertising, later explained as part of the bar's anti‑conversion‑therapy messaging by co‑owner Jasper Goh. More than a bar, The Clinic is a safe space turned theatrical melange—where fun, activism, performance, and community intersect beneath a veneer of clinical chaos. It invites you to sip, snap, protest, and party—all under one bold roof.
