Atlas

Atlas occupies the ground floor of Parkview Square, Singapore's most spectacular Art Deco building. The moment you step inside, you enter a time machine. Every detail speaks to the 1920s: the geometric tilework, the soaring ceilings, the sculptural bar back that dominates the room.

The bar holds one of Asia's finest gin collections at over 1,000 bottles displayed in a 13-metre Art Deco tower behind the bar. This is not mere decoration. Every bottle tells a story, from classic London dry gins to experimental releases from boutique distilleries across the globe. The bartenders know them intimately and use this knowledge to craft bespoke experiences for each guest.

Atlas earned its place among Singapore's best bars through relentless attention to craft and hospitality. The house martini, appropriately named the Atlas, becomes a meditation on gin and balance. If you visit Singapore's cocktail bars for a special date night, this is where romance meets refinement. The team understands that great bars are about more than just drinks: they're about creating moments that guests remember for a lifetime.

Singapore's cocktail landscape extends well beyond Bugis. Down in Tanjong Pagar, Jigger & Pony reinterprets pre-Prohibition classics through a Southeast Asian lens — it's the essential counterpart to Atlas for anyone building a serious Singapore bar crawl. For something hidden and experimental, Operation Dagger on Ann Siang Hill operates without a sign and without a traditional menu, pushing conceptual cocktails to their furthest edge. Meanwhile, Native on Amoy Street has redefined what Asian ingredients can do in a glass, earning a spot among the World's 50 Best Bars through its foraged and fermented creations.
