CHIJMES

CHIJMES (pronounced "Chimes") was once the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus (CHIJ). The chapel, built in the 1903, still stands today.

In 1997, after S$100 million in restoration later, CHIJ reopened its doors as CHIJMES. Who would have thought that one of Singapore's premier nightspots would be behind cloister walls?

When compared with the hardcore party strips of Robertson Quay and Boat Quay, CHIJMES is more of a chill out retreat. It's an ideal place to relax to the sound of smooth Latin music at Ola Alfresco Bar, enjoy a glass of wine at La Cave Winebar or chit chat with friends over a cup of coffee. For a lively alternative, there's the Irish pub, Father Flanagan's, which is open from 11.00 a.m. to midnight on Sundays and Mondays, 11.00 a.m. to 1.00 a.m. on Tuesdays to Thursdays, and 11.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. There's no cover charge and the minimum age to drink is 18.

For those eager to show off their moves, there's China Jump. Voted "Best Nightspot of the Year" in 1999 and 2002, China Jump has a reputation for some serious partying.
