Where to Buy Alcohol after 10.30pm in Singapore [Updated 2023]
If you're a regular drinker in Singapore, there is always one question that constantly bothers you. "Where to buy alcohol after 10.30pm?"
It is one of those situations where you're having a great time drinking with your pals at night, having a great time catching up. Then suddenly, you run out of booze and you don't know where else you can get more booze other than a bar across the street.
Buying alcohol used to be really easy back in the days. All it took was a 5 minute walk to your nearest convenience store. But ever since the new Liquor Control (Supply and Consumption) Act was formed in late 2015, it became a different ball game.
Liquor Control Act
When this new law took place, it sparked a huge uproar among the drinking community. It is now against the law to drink in public places after 10.30pm.
See what you can or cannot do under the new alcohol law
The new law not only adversely affected business of alcohol retailers (many ceased business ever since), but also caused major inconvenience to the majority of Singapore's drinking population.
It narrowed down a consumer's choice to purchase liquor during late nights to only bars and nightclubs (which an extended license). While still relatively convenient, many fail to keep up with this lavish lifestyle; they desperately look for a cheaper alternative to let loose.
What you may not know
While there are still plenty of restrictions on buying alcohol at midnight, many people are not aware of this:
You can still purchase alcohol after 10.30pm from a licensed alcohol retailer if you do it online, and the retailer can deliver to you if you are at a non-public place.
Don't just hear that from us, hear it from the authorities themselves.
This amendment to the Liquor Control Act was made on 1st Aug 2017, yet till today, many people are not aware of it. We conducted our own survey with over 100 regular drinkers (those who claim they drink at least twice a week). Take a look at the result:
Only 30% of the people we surveyed knew a legal source to purchase alcohol after 10.30pm, and majority of them are our happy customers.
