The Arena at Clarke Quay is Singapore's No.1 International Live Music Venue. Located in the booming Clarke Quay entertainment district at the heart of Singapore, The Arena has been packing in hordes of music-loving hedonists ever since it opened its doors back in May 2007.

Overall Rating:
My first experience at The Arena was bad with great disappointment. First was the attitude from the Bouncers which look as if they want to eat you up and talking like some 'ah bengs'. Secondly the feel of entering the place is as if I'm some kind of criminal. The ushers and bouncer will just checked your bags (understand this is normal procedure) and 'stare' at you till you enter the place.
My friends and I ordered Martell but my friend commented it was too 'light'. We feedback to the staffs but the explanation given was 'due to the manufacture month of the bottle, the liquor is light'. The staff change a bottle for us (we ordered 3 bottles and they change only 1). The staff asked my friend to take down the registration no. to verify from the Martell website if we don't trust the bottle is genuine. Staff even told my friend not to find trouble there. Seriously, I have been to a few clubs and never encounter such service before. Is this what Singapore is expecting in terms of service level for such a well know place to foreigners and locals? Total disappointment to The Arena and will never go back or intro my friends this place.

I've been to this place several times already. It's a usual bar, there's nothing exceptional to the over-all style/decor of the whole place. There are tons of teens hanging out with their friends.
There are free drinks at Ladies' Night. If I avail a free drink, I choose cola and vodka, or sprite and vodka.
The Arena also invite some international DJs and hold concerts of international bands.
Before you get in, you usually write your name and contact number (some sort of membership to the bar). I did this and been receiving updates or the latest happening in the Arena. If you don't want to receive marketing sms, don't give your number.
I don't like the fact that my two friends, who think they are slightly big, kept on complaining the whole night because the circling waiters/waitresses kept on offering them the menu...if they want to try this and that food. They were pissed off. They think the waiters show them the menu because they seem to enjoy eating.
