Gay Singapore is rising like a fabulous phoenix from the ashes of COVID-19 and lockdowns.
Change is happening here. It's fast, and it's exciting.
On our first trip to Singapore in August 2015 the anti-gay law was still in place. The gay scene was nonetheless thriving compared to other parts of Asia. Then, Covid happened and many places shut down, some never reopened, including iconic venues like Taboo. We were updating this manual every month slowly removing queer venues from this guide as one by one they disappeared.

Two gay bars in Singapore close in the face of ‘mounting debts’
SINGAPORE – January 2025 marks the end of two bars in Neil Road which serve the LGBTQ crowd – Tuckshop closed on Jan 18 and Sausage Market will contact it a night on Jan 26. Both cited financial challenges.
The bars’ leadership announced their closures on Instagram and said they faced financial troubles due to a business partner “funnelling funds out of the business for his personal debt”. The post also alleged that this boyfriend has since left the country.

Sausage Market, which opened in 2023, bills itself as the country’s first go-go lad bar.
