What do you mean by "locals". Something like 25% of the resident population of Singapore are expats. Do you mean residents or Singaporean citizens? Plenty of residents go to Boat Quay.
I know for example that the one of local (as in Singapore-based) telecoms networking groups (the industry I was in until recently) meets there regularly, for example, although this is quite an expat-heavy group. And whenever I visit Singapore-based (expat) friends there it's one of the places they suggest as a regular hangout for them.
