HOME Singapore is a dual-concept venue at Clarke Quay, where the Singapore River meets what the owners call your new favourite haunt. By day it operates as HOME DAWN, a brunch café serving fusion comfort food and specialty drinks with floor-to-ceiling river views; by night it transforms into HOME DUSK, an intimate live band venue built around mandopop and Asian hip-hop performances, bold Hunan and Sichuan-inspired food, and craft cocktails.
The space itself was built for both lives it leads — the sound system and lighting rig visible during the day café service aren't standard café fit-out, and the room transitions from brunch spot to music venue seamlessly enough that regulars often stay for both. HOME DUSK curates a rotating line-up of established and emerging acts with a particular love for mandopop and Asian contemporary music, including performers such as Ben Hum, The Cold Cut Duo, Yokez and xxmxrcs, alongside resident bands.
On the food side, the Hunan kitchen leans on green chilli and quality ingredients to deliver the numbing complexity Hunan cuisine is known for, through stir-fries and braises designed for sharing over drinks. The venue also hosts private events, accommodating up to 130 seated or 200 standing guests, with semi-private bookings available, projector screens, a full sound and light system, and wireless and hand-held microphones. HOME Singapore is non-halal, and external catering is not permitted.
At Clarke Quay, where the Singapore River curves past the city's nightlife strip, HOME Singapore runs two entirely different lives out of the same room. By day it's HOME DAWN, a brunch café with floor-to-ceiling river views. By night it becomes HOME DUSK, one of the more intimate live music venues in the area, built specifically around mandopop and Asian contemporary acts.
When the sun's up, HOME DAWN is a corner café for leisurely mornings and long afternoons, with high ceilings, lush foliage and plush seating framing the river outside. The kitchen doesn't play it safe: Truffle Carbonara Udon and Beer-Battered Snapper with kimchi tartare sit on the same menu as a Salmon Namjim Croissant, which folds Thai flavours into French pastry. For something heartier there's the Homie's Brekkie 2.0 — scrambled eggs, sourdough and tater tots topped with maple glazed pancetta — while Pain Perdu covers the sweet tooth and viennoiserie is baked in-house. Blooming Flower Tea is there for anyone skipping coffee.
Come evening, the same room turns into HOME DUSK, a live band bar where mandopop and Asian hip-hop fill the air nightly. It's built for people who want to sing along, sway with the band, and stay for one more round — regulars and first-time visitors alike. The venue books a rotating line-up with a particular love for mandopop and Asian contemporary music, including acts like Ben Hum, The Cold Cut Duo, Yokez and xxmxrcs, backed by resident bands who keep things fresh night to night.
The food at HOME DUSK isn't an afterthought to the music. The kitchen draws on Hunan cuisine, leaning on green chilli and quality ingredients to bring the numbing, bold complexity the region is known for. Signature dishes include Claypot Braised Tofu, Sizzling Spicy Beef Strips with charred edges, and wok-fried plates where high heat meets serious sauce, alongside the signature stir-fried pork with green chillies and a sour and spicy fish soup with pickled cabbage. These pair with craft beers on tap, flavoured soju towers, and the bar's own signature cocktails.
HOME exists on the idea that good food and good music shouldn't be separated into different venues. The room is fitted with a proper sound system and professional lighting design so emerging Mandarin-language acts can perform properly, while the kitchen keeps running through the night rather than shutting once the tables turn over to drinks.
HOME DUSK is also available for private bookings, accommodating up to 130 seated guests or 200 standing, with semi-private options as well. The venue provides projector screens, a full sound and light system, and wireless and hand-held microphones, and the team handles customisable menus alongside in-house music performances for corporate dinners, birthdays or after-parties.
HOME Singapore is located at Blk 3A River Valley Road, Clarke Quay, #02-03, Singapore 179020. Note that the restaurant is non-halal, and external catering is not permitted.
