Atlas Bar is Singapore’s swanky calling to Gotham City’s Wayne Tower. The grand Art Deco–inspired bar will steal your breath away with its glamorous, sexy interiors and cocktail offerings. Singapore’s best-kept secret could not be contained when word got out there was a new bar located in the black-and-gold art deco building named Parkview Square. Atlas, the grandest bar Singapore has seen, was constructed to the style and glamour of the Gatsby era, and houses the largest 15-metre bronze Gin Tower that’s stocked with over one thousand bottles of gins. But that’s not just the impressive bit!

Hong Kong-based property tycoon CS Hwang had modeled the grand lobby and bar after New York’s architecture because of his love to the roaring twenties. After his passing in 2004, his legacy continues on with the help of his granddaughter Vicky Hwang, who oversaw the upgrading works of the art deco building (which had cost $88million to build, but renovation costs were kept hush-hush), including transforming the grand lobby and bar to a new F&B concept that was unveiled earlier this year as Atlas. “The result of the upgrading works will be an eco-friendly, sustainable building,” she says, adding that the Hwangs have no intention of selling the building.

What also makes Atlas so endearing to fans is, when you step into the building, you’ll be captivated by the carefully restored original walls and ceiling; plush leather furniture with mauve finishing sourced from Spain; to baroque chandeliers that cast a dazzling spell over the 7,400 square foot bar that’s adorned with gold accents, lacquer, glass and brown granite. Keeping true to the building’s unique structure is no easy feat:
“They took all the furniture out, and then they started breaking the marble, and I literally had a panic attack,” Hwang tells Bloomberg. “I was like, ‘Oh my god, that’s my grandfather’s marble. If I mess this up they’re all going to kill me.”
The restoration is a welcome sight as the bar is now constantly operating to a full capacity. Reservations are preferred, and fans will be seated at the comfortable, plush leather sofas but if you prefer to walk-in, you could also cosy up to bartender Roman Folton (who previously worked at Artesian at The Langham) and Master of Gin, Jason Williams at the bar area, where you can order one of the many gins or opt for rare champagne that’s straight from CS Hwang’s eldest son George’s private collection.
To enjoy the many tipples offered, Atlas too, offers many modern European dishes in a full-fledged menu that counts all-day dining food like, freshly flown raw oysters to creamy risotto and simple sous vide chicken breast for dinner, courtesy of executive chef Daniele Sperindo, who’s trained at various Michelin-starred restaurants.
Trust us, when we say it’s hard to not take your gaze away from the bar’s glistening façade and gorgeous architecture, so be sure to cross your must-do list when you pop into Atlas at Parkview Square.

香港地产大亨CS Hwang满怀对“ roaring twenties”的热爱建立了这座模仿纽约宏伟大堂和酒吧充满装饰艺术风格的建筑。2004在他年去世后,继承他遗产的孙女Vicky Hwang继续对这座装饰艺术风格的建筑升级工程(其建造费用高达八千八百万美元但翻新费用却一直不为人知),包括把大厅和酒吧改造成一个全新的餐饮空间,这就是今年早些时候推出的Atlas。”升级的目的是将它成为一幢环保及可持续的建筑” Vicky Hwang说,并补充表示Hwangs氏家族无意出售这栋建筑。

Atlas同样让人惊喜的是当你走进这座大楼时,你会被它精心修复的原装墙壁和天花板所吸引; 但是要保持建筑的独特结构绝非易事,从西班牙的毛绒家具和巴洛克式的吊灯在装饰着金色、漆器、玻璃和棕色花岗岩的7400平方英尺的酒吧里闪耀着耀眼的魅力。
“当他们把所有的家具都搬走后开始打碎大理石,我真的很恐慌,”Hwang告诉Bloomberg。“我当时想,‘哦 我的天哪, 这是我祖父的大理石,如果我搞砸了他们会要杀了我的。”
恢复运营后酒吧就开始全面不间断的运作。如果你能提前预订,你可以享受舒适、豪华的皮沙发,但是如果你希望尝试不同的方式,你也可以选择坐在酒吧和曾在The Langham 的Artesian工作的调酒师Roman Folton以及杜松子酒大师 Jason Williams 聊聊。你也许想尝试各种杜松子酒,或者选择由CS Hwang 长子George 私人收藏的各种稀有香槟。Atlas 为了让客人能够享受到更多美食,由曾在米其林星级餐厅接受训练的主厨Daniele Sperindo特别提供全天候的用餐以及许多现代欧洲菜肴的菜单,比如新鲜的生蚝,美味的意大利面和简单的美味鸡胸肉。相信我们,当你从Parkview广场步入Atlas 你将很难目光从酒吧闪耀的外表和华丽的建筑中移开,所以Atlas 是你不能错过的必到之地。
