Clan Cafe

Chinatown & the CBD


The only section of this private members' club you can access without parting with a whole lotta cash, Clan Cafe is worth stopping in for a drink amid beautiful interiors and Singapore's up-and-coming movers and shakers. Based on the original clan associations that once dominated the area, it's all about the 'new' Singapore here.

The cafe dishes up healthy bowl meals and a decent cup of coffee, or opt for a cocktail if the mood takes you.
