Attica

Last night, for the first time during my tenure in Singapore, I experienced blatant racism for the first time. I would have never guessed that a club as established and popular as Attica would have staff members discriminating against a class of people. As I've been to Attica on several occassions, I've always wondered why each time during my visit, I've always had problems out of one specific bouncer. Last night I found out why when that same bouncer informed my friend and I that Attica only welcomes and allows in "white people" and anyone of "black decent" was no longer welcomed. As an African American, I found such a comment not only disturbing but also disrespectful against any person of color. As such, I will advise everyone I know that Attica is no longer a place where people of color are welcomed.

Attica's my favorite club in Singapore! Arrogant as I may sound, I dislike clubs with young army boys coming up to me with their 'oh you make me fall asleep' pick up lines :p

Attica's the place to be coz the age limit for males.. I guess.. 23-25? So the kids are out of bounds.. But if you're caucasian, you usually don't get checked so no worries :P

Attica's a great spot, with 2 levels of wonderful partying and lots of beautiful people.. Attica's usually the place for hip-hop and r&b lovers, the tracks are usually more groovy than the younger places like Ministry of Sound in Singapore... I'm an anti-hip hop girl but I do enjoy myself at Attica.

Attica Too's my favorite place to be! There are many international acts like my favorite Ibiza, and the electronic music is amazing..! THe tech house is great too, and for random booty shakers like me, I always have lots of fun! :)

As posh as the place may seem, drinks are relatively reasonably priced, and the friendly but intimidating bouncers at the door always seem kind enough to allow the chicks in for free ;P For men, be nice, and they might let you skip the queue and enter through the 'shorter queue'..

THere is also an amazing terrace between Attica and Attica Too, for people who need a break from the fog in the club.. I love having a chat and drinks there, and do some people watching and giggle and the beautiful or outrageous.. If you had to party in Clarke Quay, and have to choose between the clubs, trust me, Attica would be the best choice!

Plus plus plus, they operate til 6 on Fris and Sats!
