Operating at full capacity
The club is operating at full capacity now that it has reopened.
Snaking queues were seen as a result of revellers waiting to enter the venue located next to the Sands Theatre at The Shoppes in Marina Bay Sands.
The 2,300 sq m club was previously shut since March 2020.
Inside, the packed dance floor showed the nightlife establishment roaring back to life, as seen in Instagram Stories by @ohsofickle.

The club features an indoor eight-armed ferris wheel with a photo booth in each pod and a three-storey slide.
From July 1, it will be open from 10pm to 6am on Fridays, Saturdays and the eve of public holidays.
The reopening will also take place with new safe management measures in effect.
The Ministry of Health announced that from June 14, patrons will no longer need to show a negative antigen rapid test (ART) result to enter such venues.
Capacity limits for nightlife establishments with dancing will be lifted.
However, vaccination-differentiated measures will continue to be applied.
Operators must conduct checks on patrons' vaccination status.
Patrons will also be required to be masked up on the dance floor.
