Zouk (club)

Zouk is a nightclub in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. The club is named after the French Creole word for 'party'.

The three old warehouses that make up the original Zouk were built in 1919 on the Singapore River. Thoroughly renovated, the houses now feature three interconnected clubs:

  • Zouk (1991), with a large dancefloor and state-of-the-art sound and lighting, catering to a variety of artists
  • Velvet Underground (1994), a quieter, more relaxed lounge that plays house and soul
  • Phuture (1996), a more avant-garde bar specializing in broken beats

The clubs have proven popular with Singapore's partygoing crowd and regularly attract performers from all over the world.

In 2004, Zouk opened a sister club on Jalan Ampang in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Zouk KL features four rooms: Zouk and Velvet Underground styled on the original, plus the Loft and Terrace bars.
