Weekend’s here. You’ve got invites lined up, outfits planned, and that one friend already pushing for a round of tequila shots. But there’s one thing screaming louder than the DJ at Marquee: your bank account.
Singapore is ranked among the most expensive cities in the world, and partying here can easily rack up a few hundred bucks in one night. Cover charges, cocktails, Grab rides, overpriced bar snacks—it adds up fast. But what if you didn’t have to choose between a good time and your savings?
Here’s how you can still live your best nightlife life without burning a hole in your wallet.
1. Pregame Like a Pro
Drinks inside clubs or rooftop bars can go for $18–$28 a pop. Multiply that by 4 or 5 and you’re in deep.
Solution: Stock up on your fave spirits and mixers from your local supermarket and pregame at home with friends. Set the mood, curate a playlist, and sip without the markup.
Bonus tip: Take Locohol before your first drink to stay sharp and reduce the chance of a hangover creeping up on you the next morning.
2. Sign Up for Guestlists & Early Birds
Why pay full price when you can enter for free (or almost free)? Plenty of clubs and event promoters offer guestlist sign-ups via social media or Eventbrite. Others release super early bird tickets that go for as low as $10–$15.
3. Split Grab Rides, or Use Public Transport Smartly
We love the convenience of ride-hailing, but surge pricing after midnight? Brutal.
- Travel in groups and split your Grab to cut the fare.
- Alternatively, if you’re at a club near an MRT line, catch the last train home and avoid the surcharge altogether.
If all else fails, consider staying out until first train and grabbing a prata breakfast in the meantime. 😅
4. Look for 1-for-1s and Free Flow Deals
Some bars and lounges offer insane 1-for-1 happy hours or free-flow cocktail deals—especially midweek or on Sundays.
Check out bar websites or aggregator apps like Burpple, Chope, or The Entertainer for up-to-date drink promos.
Just don’t forget your Locohol before the first pour.
5. Bring Your Own Anti-Hangover Insurance
Hangovers are not only painful—they’re expensive. Wasted Sundays, missed brunches, maybe even MCs on Monday?
That’s why savvy party-goers swear by Locohol. With key ingredients like Turmeric (for inflammation), DHM (to help metabolise alcohol), and Glutathione (a potent antioxidant), it’s the only pill supplement in Singapore with this combination for hangover and Asian flush prevention.
It’s cheaper than IV drips and more stylish than chugging coconut water in shame.
6. Cut Down on Impulsive Bar Snacks
When the drinks flow, so does the temptation to order truffle fries, wings, and cheese platters. But club bar food is marked up sky high.
Have a proper meal before heading out, or stash a snack in your bag for the ride home (yes, we said it). Save the splurging for something worth it.
7. Plan Your Nights Strategically
You don’t need to go out 3 nights a week to live your best life. Pick one epic night—save up, go big, and recover with the help of Locohol.
Having one high-quality night out vs. multiple mediocre ones saves cash and your energy.
Final Thoughts
Going out in Singapore doesn’t have to mean spending big. With a little planning (and a pack of Locohol in your pocket), you can party wisely, look good, and feel even better the next day.
💃 Spend less. Drink wiser. Dance more. You’ve got this.
