Atlas Bar in Singapore: an Art Deco favourite

Main hall of Atlas Bar in Singapore

When I wrote this in 2023, Atlas was next to my office and had recently ranked fourth on The World’s 50 Best Bars list. It is also the largest and most luxurious bar I have visited. I adore Art Deco and, for some reason, always think about the controversial book “Atlas Shrugged” when I visit. The dress code and opening details can change, so check the official site before going.

At the heart of the bar is a huge three-storey tower filled with gin. In Atlas, I like to watch the colourful visitors and leisurely drink cocktails. At the time of this visit, cocktails started at about S$25; current prices may differ.

Recommendation: definitely go! 👍
