Update: The Clinic Bar was closed.
Photos taken with Canon PowerShot S3IS
I’m not completely done with my Bali posts to put a closure on my summer vacation posts, but I am almost done. I thought that I will veer away from my summer post and bring up those photos of a bar in Clark Quay (quay pronounces “key”) in Singapore now for this Wednesday interior post.
Some of you might recall that my daughter was medically evacuated to Singapore from Jakarta for a surgery of a swollen gland under her jaw that she developed in June of this year. We had two nights to spend in Singapore after the surgery before we could fly back to Jakarta.
On the last day in Singapore, my husband, our daughter and I went to Clark Quay for dinner. I did a little research online beforehand to figure out a good place to eat and I came across a bar called Clinic. It was ranked high in restaurant and bar ranking and The Clinic bar stayed in my memory because it looked unique and interesting. When we were walking around in Clark quay, I spotted The Clinic and got very excited!! Luckily many of the seatings were outside, so it was easy to see the design of the bar. I asked the bar employees if I could take some photos and they didn’t mind. Thank you!
I’ve never seen a bar with a design of a clinic: gold wheelchairs and white hospital looking sofas, lights from a surgical room, and so forth. My daughter just came out of hospital a day before and I thought how funny! So, I took a picture of her on a funky chair with red and green IV looking plastic bags. It would be interesting to see what they have on the menu and how they serve their drinks, don’t you think?

夏休み中のブログの記事はバリで終わりで、もう少しで終わらせられるのですが、もうちょっと残っています。今回の水曜日のインテリアの記事のために、夏休みの記事から離れてシンガポールのクラークキーの写真をお見せしますね。
私の次女が6月上旬に首の下にできたガングリオン(できもの)の手術のために、シンガポールへ行かなくてはならなかったのを覚えいている方もいるかもしれません。手術後ジャカルタへ戻る前にシンガポールで2泊しました。
そのシンガポール滞在最後の日、夫と娘と私はクラークキーへ夕食に行きました。クラークキーへ行く前に、どこか美味しいところで食べたかったので、少しリサーチをしてみました。その時にクラークキーのクリニックというバーを見たのを覚えています。レストランとバーのランキングで高いランキングを得ていて、とっても面白いデザインだったので印象に残っていました。クラークキーで歩き回っている時に、クリニックというバーを見て嬉しくなりました。運良く多くのテーブルは外に置かれていたので、デザインがよく見えました。バーで働いている人に写真を撮って良いかと尋ねるとオッケーしてもらえたので、有り難かったです。
今までクリニックのデザインのバーなんて見た事ありませんでした。ゴールドの車いすに、白い病院の椅子、手術室からの電気などなど、病院を思わせるものが並んでいました。次女はその日の前日に病院を出たばかりだったので、皮肉のような面白いような感じがしました。娘を赤と緑の点滴のようなビニール袋が下がったアニマルプリントの椅子に乗せ、思わず写真まで撮っちゃいました。メニューにどんなドリンクがあって、どんなグラスに入って出てくるか見てみたら面白そうですよね。
This place is a riot! I have never seen this theme done at a bar. Being a nurse, I’m not sure I would feel comfortable eating here! LOL 🙂
Isn’t it? I can totally see what you mean!
hahaha very unique!
Wow this is such a trip! hahaha! And it great for your daughter to see the lighter side of a “clinic” LOL!
I have heard of this place but haven’t had a chance to try when I visited last time. I should have! Wow, such a funky and memorable place.
Great photos. Nice camera.
Thanks!
what a strange but interesting bar. thanks for sharing info about it. if i ever go to singapore i’ll head right over
btw. i wasn’t sliding down.. im such a coward. but i almost fell.
And i’d rather wear a bikini to the beach than a knit sweater anyday.. oh how i wish it was summer all over.. it’s so cold already.
xx
I guess grass is greener on the other side. 🙂 Come to the tropical island!
what in the world!! the gold wheelchairs, haha…very interesting!
I thought you might like it!
tooo funny! I have never seen that before. totally made me giggle.
It was very funny! I thought it was such an original theme!!
Your little girl is adorable on that chair 🙂
When this place first came out, it was met with loads of complaints that it was too morbid and such – I think part of the club included a mortuary but I wonder if that has been removed since. Now I guess it has grown on us.
I was there few years back, so fun but bit creepy, especially one drink come into IV packaging and the color is bloody red…phewww…
I miss Bali too, I wish I can revisit soon. Btw I will be going to Bandung next week. Cant wait to explore 🙂
How nice is that.. I’ve only been to Clarke Quay once… And I didn’t know the right pronunciation until a few weeks of our stay in Singapore haha..
im not surprised, great minds think alike 😉
i really need to get my hands on that jacket btw. been looking for it for a year now, and when it was in store i couldn’t afford it..now it’s too late. I’m guessing the people who bought it won’t ever let it go.. I wouldn’t, that’s for certain.
Hope you’re enjoying your saturday, I’m just drinking some beers and relaxing after a long week of work. x
Ahhh! Too cute! I’m going to be swinging by Singapore in a while, so this seems worth visiting.. What are the prices like? Cheap? Mid? Thank you 😀
