SINGAPORE: Despite marking the end of more than two years of closures, the reopening of nightlife businesses on Tuesday (Apr 19) got off to a muted start. Across nightlife hotspo

Across nightlife hotspots, many establishments – such as bars and discotheques – remained closed. The few that were open, which CNA visited, mostly saw thin crowds.

Club employee David Chand said he had expected this, as they were still in the process of bringing back dancers from India. These performers are typically the main draw, he said. At nearby club Bollywood Masti, only two tables were filled. This was a disappointment for its supervisor, who only wanted to be known as Ms Ria.

Patrons need a negative result to enter nightlife businesses where dancing is involved. But the employee told CNA that there is currently no dance floor at the establishment, which is operating as a bistro.People taking a supervised ART test before joining the queue to enter Cherry Discotheque at Cecil Street on Apr 19, 2022.

Yang Club said it will only be taking reservations. As for Zouk, walk-ins will not be allowed, and patrons will have to buy tickets online on a first come, first served basis.
