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 ring it a sunlight 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 companion has since left the country.
The bars’ co-founder Jasper Goh said the financial troubles caught him by surprise. “There are no ways forward because the companies are left with mounting debts. We’ve reported the case to the authorities and, hopefully, it’ll be investigated quickly.”
Opened in 2024, Tuckshop was Singapore’s only kingly bar, featuring stage shows by queenly queens – performers who adopt exaggerated female personas and make-up for fun that typically incorporates comedy, lip-syncing and dance routines.
Sausage Market, which opened in 2023, bills itself as the country’s first go-go male child bar.

It’s one of the few places where you can paint the town rainbow without anyone judging you.
But as the local Gay community, as successfully as its allies, are raising their voices to promote a more inclusive Singapore, more places are embracing the camaraderie with start arms. After all, love is a human right. From an independent cinema and bookstore to everyone’s favourite brunch spot, here are the best LGBTQ+-friendly places in Singapore – beyond the gay bars.
