Level Up is not like any other ordinary bar in town. In fact, this Clarke Quay establishment will make you feel like a kid again with its nostalgia-driven offerings. Think a slew of arcade staples like air hockey tables, darts, video games, and claw, basketball and racing machines waiting for you to enjoy after drinking up your poison of choice and chowing down Asian-inspired finger foods.

The fun doesn’t end there, though. Apart from arcade games, you can gather your friends for a round of beer pong or pool.

#3 Avenue Singapore

Avenue is like Marquee’s low-key sibling - it’s hidden in the basement of Marina Bay Sands and has a lounge-like atmosphere that resembles speakeasies in New York, but still has feel-good tunes blasting out its sound system, courtesy of resident and guest DJs from all over the globe.

Beyond its modest first-floor entrance and posh aesthetics, this underground bar doesn’t take itself too seriously. Besides dishing out small bites and tipples where boozers can imbibe in the main sitting area, Avenue boasts play areas, such as a mini bowling alley, pool table, pinball and skee ball machines, and a private karaoke room, that double your night’s fun.

#4 Forest Darts Cafe

One of the early drinking holes to debut a dart-style concept is Forest Darts, so you can expect a lineup of electronic soft-tip and traditional steel-tip dart machines to keep you busy throughout the night.

This bar has several outlets as well, all of which are forest-themed. We mean walls and ceilings covered with plants, accompanied by fairy lights and neon lights and signs. What’s more, some of its locations offer more than just darts, so you can look forward to playing pool as well as karaokeing.
You can’t forget food and drinks, of course. At Forest Darts, the bar has an ample stash of bevvies to keep you buzzed and snacks to wash down the alcohol.
