Zouk is a nightclub in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. The club is named after a French creole word for 'party'. It has won the Singapore Tourism Board's "Best Nightspot Experience" award 6 times, between 1996 and 2007. Zouk was ranked as number 10 on DJ Magazine's list of Top 100 clubs in the world in 2006, 2007 and 2010. In 2017, Zouk Singapore earned its highest ranking yet at number 3, the top entry for clubs across Asia.

In September 2015, its founder, Lincoln Cheng, sold the rights of the Zouk brand to Genting Hong Kong, an affiliate of the Genting Singapore.^[1] The brand and its business was valued at S$40 million by financial audit firm Ernst & Young in 2013.^[2]

Locations

The three old warehouses that make up the original Zouk were built in 1919 by the Singapore River, on present day Jiak Kim Road, housing three interconnected clubs:

• Zouk (1991), with a large dancefloor and sound and lighting, catering to a variety of artists.
• Velvet Underground (1994), a quieter, more relaxed lounge that plays house and soul.{{cn|date=December 2018}}
• Phuture (1996), a more avant-garde bar specialising in broken beats and hip hop/R&B.

In 2004, Zouk opened a sister club at Ampang Road (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. It relocated to Tun Razak Exchange in 2015.^[3]

In December 2016, Zouk Singapore moved to its new premise at Clarke Quay, Singapore's entertainment epicentre. Housed in a revamped warehouse, the new space retained its multi-room concept with three club outlets, and a bar:

• Zouk, the signature main room for big room acts across electronic, house and techno; characterised by its lighting fixture.{{cn|date=December 2018}}
• Phuture, an underground-esque club outlet for hip-hop and R&B lovers; characterised by graffiti murals by Singaporean artist, Jahan Loh.{{cn|date=December 2018}}
• Capital, a dual lounge and club space aimed at older audiences with open format music nights; characterised by the custom luminous ceiling by Japanese artist, Tetsuya Tohshima.{{cn|date=December 2018}} As of 2018, Capital also houses Queens, a hip-hop inspired cocktail bar inspired by the New York borough.
• RedTail, a social gaming bar catered for pre-party and post-work hangouts located right behind Zouk.

In January 2018, RedTail Genting was launched at Resorts World Genting as part of the Zouk Group's expansion plans. Being its multi-room concept abroad, the new Zouk Genting complex will also house multiple outlets under one.
