Place looked nice but was overpacked and the music was lousy. Not worth the ticket price. A fight broke out yesterday at the bar. The security staff, when rushing to stop the fight, pushed customers roughly aside. I fell to the ground and spilled my drink. There seemed to be very few security staff in this club. Most were stationed near the dance floor area but not the bar.

Wow. Their total recall policy is so exclusive! After spending thousands of dollars on a table, we had to queue for re-entry. Usually, this club is empty. Service is extremely slow; they’re in over their heads. And inside the club, despite the significant amount of alcohol we had, they didn't even bother to give us ice or extra cups. It's 2 AM; the club closes at 4 AM. This shows their lack of attention to detail and service. We had to request multiple times for cups and ice afterwards. This is what you'll get when you get a table at Zouk!

Some of the worst vibes one can ever experience in their adult life. Genuinely, how does the owner live with themselves? The DJ was pumping out top 40 tracks from 2008 with zero vision, direction, or mixing. Drinks were diluted to piss. Drinking water cost a stunning $12 for 750ml. Not a single person was dancing (I mean, refer back to shite tunes and watered down drinks, and this is understandable). Truly incredible, but reflective of what the Singapore scene is today. Piss poor. At this current moment, while I stand at the bar, they are playing 'I Like To Move It.' You can’t make this up.

Always an amazing time here with friends! Whenever we need a break or a reason to celebrate, we can always count on Capital! It's been our fortune and luck to always be well looked after by Desmond, who embodies the Capital spirit and adds a special human touch to the regular service. Thanks, Desmond, for always giving us the best time!

Good vibe, catchy music, and pleasant service! However, it attracts mixed patrons. My friend got randomly assaulted by some idiot last Saturday. Kudos to Security - they appeared immediately and defused the situation effectively. I hope they have a ban system to prevent the guy from entering the place again.

Bala was an attentive, friendly, and hospitable staff member. Look forward to his service in the future! Great and fun atmosphere too.

They're back up and running like a club/lounge. I was there on Good Friday evening, and the beats and bottles are back. It definitely brings back good memories, and I'll certainly be back as we slowly transition back to how things were before.
That said, a few things to take note of:
1. The alcohol list is much shorter compared to before. Their champagne service is pathetically expensive. I can see why; it's a business, after all. But it's just quite nonsensical to be shelling out so much for the markup.
2. The crowd is much more local these days compared to before the pandemic. Nothing wrong with that; it's just that the lack of diversity makes the experience a little more stale for me.
3. It's bordering on KTV vibes... Tough to explain in a public review, but you get the idea.

The crab meat pasta I had there was average! Drinks were alright. I had some guava soju, which was good but low in alcohol content. Other than that, the club vibes were good. Honestly, the view of the place is nice, especially the decorations. I would go back largely for music and drinks!

My first time clubbing in Singapore, and I really enjoyed my time at Capital Zouk! The music was fun and it wasn't too crowded. We didn't order food but ordered drinks. A friend got us a sofa for 13 people. We came around 11:30 PM and stayed until closing at 3 AM. We felt safe.

I went for International Women's Day. They had two female DJs, Krisha and Casey, who were both so skilled. The music was a good mix of RnB, K-pop, pop, and EDM. 🔥
Since I went early and was alone, one staff member, Shermaine, talked to me and made me feel welcome, even introducing me to other staff and asking them to take care of me. I was super touched! 🥹
Throughout the night, I felt safe and well taken care of. It was the first time the staff smiled and recognized me, even though it was my first time there (I'm not even a regular)! 😭
I also accidentally spilled a bit of water, and the staff came to clean it right away without me even asking! 😂 Overall, it's a very clean club.
The 1-for-1 premium pours before midnight were also quite worth it, at around $20 for two drinks, whereas I've experienced paying $35 for two drinks at other clubs before.

Pretty good experience here each time, with very decent house DJs and music. Service has definitely improved over time, and the staff now handles the crowd more effectively, resulting in reduced waiting times and increased professionalism. The layout is modern and segmented into very different areas, offering various atmospheres – either in the plush sofas in the middle of the dance floor, along the island bar, or in a quieter corner of the club. VIP seats are also available by the DJ console. I'm not sure about the food, though, as the majority of patrons, including me, visit only for the music and drinks.
Minimum age requirement is 21 for females and 23 for men. They are now operating on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and the eve of Public Holidays. Do check their website and social media for special guest DJs and nights. Generally open from 10 PM to 3 AM. A big shoutout to Cheryl and Claudia for their 10/10 hospitality, always!

Capital at Clarke Quay offers an unforgettable nightclub experience with its seamless blend of lively music, premium service, and unique ambiance. From the moment you climb the stairs to enter, the floral fragrance and modern decor set the stage for an upscale yet fun night out.
The DJ expertly mixes pop hits and EDM tracks, keeping the energy high throughout the night. The central bar area is a visual highlight, featuring contemporary koi fish art on the ceiling, a sleek white plant centerpiece, and a chic vibe. Drinks are available à la carte, with special discounts for professionals like bankers, lawyers, real estate agents, and air stewards who show their business cards.
For larger groups, booking a table with a minimum spend unlocks the full Capital experience. Ordering champagne, vodka, or tequila bottles becomes a mini-show, as a parade of synchronized staff delivers your drinks with props, confetti, and synchronized dancing. Watching the procession is pure entertainment! The service is impeccable—staff clear confetti instantly, mix drinks at your table, and work together seamlessly. Even the table bins are cleverly designed for quick clean-ups.
The club’s interior combines old-world charm with modern flair, showcasing glass-encased decor and lush greenery. While the toilets are limited (just four stalls each for men and women), popcorn carts near the restrooms add a playful touch.
Perfect for patrons in their 20s and 30s, Capital is ideal for a night of great music, drinks, and memories.
