Quick answer: Club Street packs a lot into a handful of heritage shophouses. For a rib-eye with a smoky, charred crust you will not stop thinking about, Bochinche is the one. Thirty Six Brewlab & Smokehouse does house-brewed beers and flame-grilled burgers that hit the spot. Le Bon Funk changes its menu daily and pours natural wines that feel just adventurous enough. And if you want a meal your kakis will talk about for months, NOX – Dine in the Dark makes you eat in complete darkness, with a mystery menu that sharpens everything.
Club Street can feel like a maze of wine bars and steak places—intimidating if you’re not already in the know. But the real rule is simple: nobody cares if you’re just there for a good burger and a cold pint. This list is for when you want a solid meal without having to pretend.
Best Furniture & Bedding in Singapore holds 17 guides in this category, if you want to see what else is out there.
Bochinche
Steak lovers, this one is for you. Bochinche takes Argentinian beef seriously – they grill it over wood and charcoal, and the smell drifting onto the street during dinner service is enough to make you cancel your backup plan. The 35-day aged OP Rib goes for S$22 per 100g, but start with the Argentinian spring rolls (S$14); that tender pig ear stuffing is not something you find every day. Lunch sets from S$36++ let you try the place without committing to a full steakhouse splurge.
It sits at 27 Club Street, open Monday to Saturday for lunch (12pm–3pm) and dinner (6pm–10.30pm). Call them at +65 6235 4990, or browse the menu at Bochinche’s website. This is the spot when you want a proper steak night that feels special but not stiff – date night, a birthday treat, or just because you have been working too hard and deserve something damn shiok.
Book this spot when someone special is visiting and you need a meal that feels like an occasion without the stiff formality. Come early to snag a seat by the open kitchen—the woodsmoke smell hits you first. And don’t be paiseh about asking for extra chimichurri; the staff expect it.
Club Street Wine Room
This one demystifies wine without the snobbery. Think elevated pub food – Andy’s Fried Chicken (S$18) and Woodfired Scallop & Prawn Vol au Vent Thermidor (S$16) – paired with bottles you actually want to drink. The bottomless brunch is where it really shines: free-flow Pétillant Naturel sparkling alongside roasts like Apple Woodfired Guinea Fowl, and the whole thing feels like a lazy Sunday you do not want to end. Their A La Carte Set Lunch starts from S$48++ for two courses on Thursdays and Fridays.
You will find them at 87 Club Street. Hours: Tuesday–Wednesday 4pm–10.30pm, Thursday–Saturday 12pm–10.30pm, Sunday 12pm–8.30pm. Reach them at +65 6970 0190. If you are rounding up a group who love wine but do not want to be quizzed on varietals, this is the table to book.
If the phrase ‘wine list’ usually makes you nervous, this is your entry point. No one will quiz you on tasting notes. Swing by for a solo lunch when you have time to kill—grab a seat by the window, order a glass of whatever the staff suggests, and let the afternoon disappear.
Thirty Six Brewlab & Smokehouse
When work leaves you feeling sian and you need a solid burger and a pint, this microbrewery in a conservation shophouse sorts you out. They run over 20 taps of house-brewed beers – the Straits Pale Ale is S$14, and the tart Raspberry Beer-et is playful enough to keep you guessing. The 36 Burger (S$22) with grass-fed beef and spicy mayo holds its own, and the turmeric-rubbed Wood Fired Cauliflower (S$25) is proof that not every smokehouse dish needs to be about meat. Happy hour runs until 7pm on weekdays.
Address: 36 Club Street. Open daily 11.30am–10.30pm. Phone +65 6239 0350. Check their Facebook page for updates at Thirty Six Brewlab & Smokehouse. This is the kind of place where you can bring a mixed group – beer nerds, hungry friends, and that one person who “doesn’t really drink beer” will all find something to like.

While you are in the area, our guide to Restaurants on Amoy Street is right around the corner and gives you even more ideas.
On a Thursday evening when the week has been too long and you need a pint that actually tastes like something, you end up at this kind of place. Grab a seat upstairs if you want to hear yourself talk; downstairs fills up quick. The beer paddle is the low-commitment way to find your favourite.
NOX – Dine in the Dark
Here is the thing: you walk into a pitch-black dining room, guided by a visually impaired team, and you lose your sense of sight for the next 90 minutes. It is disorienting and then strangely liberating. The mystery three-course tasting menu (S$88++) weaves through 12 modern European dishes – you do not know what is coming, and that is the point. Pre-dinner cocktails like Coco-NOT start the evening with a local twist. Wine, cocktail, or mocktail pairings begin at S$30++.
Located at 83 Club Street, open Tuesday to Sunday 6pm–10.30pm. Call +65 6298 0708, or book at NOX – Dine in the Dark. Bring a date you want to laugh with over spilled water glasses. Bring your best friends when you want to talk without phones. It is dinner that doubles as a memory.
Book this dinner when you want to shake up the usual date routine. It’s equal parts weird and wonderful—you’ll leave talking about textures you never noticed before. A practical tip: go to the loo before you’re seated. Once the lights go out, even a short walk becomes an adventure.
Le Bon Funk
The menu here changes every day based on what is fresh, so walking in is always a small gamble that usually pays off. Cedar Jelly and Foie Gras Toast (S$18) is a signature, and the Mortadella Sandwich and Wagyu Tartare make appearances when the kitchen feels like it. Natural wines by the glass (S$18–S$32) lean towards the unexpected – an Austrian Fuchs & Hase Pet Nat might land on your table and suddenly you are a convert. The celery custard is something you die die must try; the texture alone will flip your idea of what a vegetable can do.
29 Club Street. Hours: Tuesday–Thursday 5pm–10.30pm, Friday–Saturday 12pm–10.30pm, Sunday 12pm–5pm. Phone +65 6224 1490. Their site is Le Bon Funk. Come when you want a meal that feels effortless but still a bit atas – a good catch-up with a close friend, or a solo dinner at the counter watching the kitchen do its quiet, clever thing.
When the conversation matters more than the menu, this is the place for a low-key evening. Come with one other person so you can order a few plates to share; the pairings are half the fun. The online menu is more of a vibe check than a promise—trust what’s on the board when you walk in.
L’Angélus
Singapore’s oldest traditional French restaurant has been doing classic bistro fare long before Club Street got trendy. The Soupe A L’oignon Et Croutons (S$24) is the kind of onion soup that makes you close your eyes on the first spoonful. Duck liver specialties go for S$32, and a monthly 3-Course All Day Set at S$68 gives you the full Gallic experience without guessing the bill. Want a lunch that feels like a mini Parisian escape? The Lunch Set starts at S$32++.
85 Club Street. Open Monday–Friday 12pm–2.30pm and 6pm–10.30pm, Saturday 6pm–10.30pm. Reserve at +65 6225 6897 or visit L’Angélus. This is the place for a quiet anniversary dinner, or when your parents are in town and you want to take them somewhere they will genuinely enjoy – white tablecloths, gentle lighting, and a wine list that rewards a slow evening.
If the mood takes you further afield, our picks for Restaurants in Robertson Quay are a short ride away and worth a look on a balmy evening.
When you’re tired of trendy spots and just want a tablecloth, candlelight, and a meal that takes its time, this is your move. The set lunch is the smart way in—same French classics, no pressure on the wallet. Book for a slow weekend lunch when you can sit for a couple of hours.
Mazzo Restaurant Bar
This Italian place keeps things warm and unpretentious. The Margherita Pizza is S$24, Pesto Burrata S$28, and the Antipasti for two (S$39) piles on cold cuts, bruschetta, and calamari – exactly the kind of sharing plates that make a table happy. The crab meat pasta in a creamy tomato-basil sauce is the one that gets the most nods from regulars. Wines, spirits, and cocktails fill out the bar, and the hours stretch from 3pm to 10.30pm Monday to Saturday, making it an easy choice for a late lunch that turns into dinner.
Find them at 56 Club Street. Phone +65 6222 0089, or browse at Mazzo Singapore. This is the spot when you want a meal that feels like a gathering at a friend’s place – the kind where the owner might swing by to say hello and you end up ordering a second bottle because it just feels right.
How to choose
The seven restaurants on this stretch do not compete with one another so much as take turns fitting your mood. Ask yourself: do you want a full steak dinner, or are you just after a few small plates and a good glass of something? Bochinche is the steakhouse move; Club Street Wine Room and Le Bon Funk are for when the wine leads and the food follows. Thirty Six Brewlab & Smokehouse is your casual, bring-everyone choice, while NOX is the experience you plan a whole evening around. L’Angélus and Mazzo sit comfortably in the middle – one leaning classic French, the other Italian comfort.
Prices are not uniformly high. Lunch sets at L’Angélus start at S$32++, while Bochinche’s lunch is S$36++. A full dinner with drinks climbs naturally – NOX at S$88++ is the most structured spend, and at a place like Le Bon Funk a few plates and two glasses might land you around S$50–S$70 per person. Check each restaurant’s policy on corkage and service charge when you book.

Club Street gives you seven very different nights out on one short, pretty road. From the smoky depth of an Argentinian grill to a French bistro that has held its corner for decades, the choice comes down to what kind of evening you need. Book the steak when you feel like rewarding yourself, the wine bar when the conversation matters more than the menu, and the dark room when you want a story no one else can match.
