2 late-night dives worth the night across Singapore, editor-ranked. All Singapore guides.
Lau Pa Sat Satay Street ★ 4.5 · Singapore
chinatown · 18 Raffles Quay, Singapore 048582
Boon Tat Street closes at 7pm for Singapore's best-known satay street: nine charcoal-fired stalls, cold beer, and the CBD skyline as backdrop. Interior 24-hour hawker centre handles the late shift.
Tip: Satay street peaks 8pm to 10pm. After midnight the interior stalls carry the nocturnal trade. The 24-hour format makes it the most reliable late-night option in the CBD.
Swee Choon Tim Sum ★ 4.3 · Singapore
little-india · 183 Jalan Besar, Singapore 208882
Dim sum institution since 1962, serving until the small hours every night. Draws Singapore's chefs, hospitality workers, and night owls; quality consistent from opening through to last orders.
Tip: The 10pm to 2am window has no queues and full service. The liu sha bao and har gao are the orders regardless of the hour.
