With October just around the corner, ATLAS invites guests to enjoy the last few months of its current cocktail menu, Interbellum, which was just awarded World’s Best Cocktail Menu at Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards 2020. Developed by Head Bartender Jesse Vida and his team, the menu is a celebration of the Art Deco period, paying homage to classic European cocktails of the time.

Honouring this ground-breaking period, Interbellum invites guests on a journey through the Art Deco movement to explore some of its pivotal cultural moments and celebrations.

With this latest award, ATLAS proudly represented Asia alongside two fantastic venues, Native in Singapore, who won Best International Cocktail Bar and Shingo Gokan’s Sober Company in Shanghai who took home Best International Restaurant Bar. For the first time, the awards ceremony for Tales of the Cocktail was held digitally from New Orleans, Louisiana on 21 September.

The menu design produced by Katana London weaves the historical moments in an engaging series of posters – divided into five chapters, with each chapter showcasing dynamic cocktails. A unique way to discover the enduring appeal of the golden age, enjoy The Boy King from the “The Discovery of King Tutankhuamum”, to Urban Pioneer from “A Time for Bold Ideas.” Each chapter is a celebration of moments from history that still resonate today with a series of dynamic cocktails.

“This menu was such a fantastic effort from all the team, and is a unique journey through traditional European influences and flavours,” says Jesse Vida, Head Bartender at ATLAS. “To have won World’s Best Cocktail at Tales is an incredible honour for us here at ATLAS and we are immensely proud and humbled.”

Interbellum is available until the end of October, after which, ATLAS looks forward to welcoming guests to enjoy its new menu.

ATLAS graces the ground floor of one of Singapore’s most iconic buildings, Parkview Square, in the history-rich Bugis neighbourhood. A celebration of the grand Art Deco lobbies of Europe and the era’s rich culinary and beverage traditions, ATLAS offers a carefully curated drinking and dining experience all-day and deep into the night.

The bar is helmed by Jesse Vida, delivering an inspired interpretation of elegant and balanced classic cocktails. The ATLAS Gin Collection is housed in an iconic 8-metre tall Gin Tower, consisting of 1,300 bottles from around the world. Below the Gin Tower, a rose gold Champagne Room holds the ATLAS Champagne Collection which carries a 270-label selection of some of the world’s most prestigious vintages and respected houses.

ATLAS’ food menus offer inspired and refined European dishes made with a passion for thoughtful presentation and the freshest of ingredients. Ranging from morning pastries to late night bites, from executive lunches to a la carte dinner, guests can enjoy all-day dining for any occasion. During mid- afternoon, a delicately indulgent Afternoon Tea set is served, showcasing a selection of handcrafted savoury and sweet nibbles alongside an expertly curated selection of teas and champagnes.

Since its official opening in March 2017, ATLAS has been named Bar of the Year (Asia) by Drink Magazine in 2017 and Best Specialist Concept at the Singapore Bar Awards 2018. Following its debut at No.12 on Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2017, ATLAS has been awarded the No. 5 spot successively in 2019 and 2020. At the World’s 50 Best Bar Awards in 2019, ATLAS occupied the No. 8 position for its 2nd year in a row after debuting in 2017 as the highest new entry at No. 15. ATLAS attained both the award for Best International Cocktail Bar and World’s Best Spirits Selection at the coveted Spirited Awards in 2019.

ATLAS is owned by Parkview Square’s developers, the Hwang family, who have created a warm, welcoming destination with a real sense of occasion, delivering elegance and excellence … without pretence.

ATLAS may be grand — but it ain’t grandiloquent. Here, you’re always cordially invited.
