Atlas is the Art Deco cathedral of gin inside Parkview Square, home to one of the world's largest gin towers. Go for a cocktail and the room, not a full meal. Smart dress from 5pm, closed Sundays.

Frequently asked questions
- Is Atlas expensive?
- Yes. Cocktails run roughly S$28-40 and the gin list climbs into the hundreds for rare bottles. It's a splurge or special-occasion place. Come for one or two drinks and soak in the room rather than settling in for the night.
- How do I get there?
- It's a 5-minute walk from Bugis MRT. Parkview Square is unmistakable, a towering bronze-and-stone Art Deco building. Taxis and ride-hail drop right at the entrance on North Bridge Road.
- Is there food?
- Yes, a European-leaning menu of caviar, charcuterie, oysters and small plates, but it's a bar first. Locals treat it as a drinks destination, not dinner. Eat elsewhere and come for cocktails.
- Do I need a reservation?
- For the main bar in the evening, yes, book ahead, it fills fast and weekends are tight. Walk-ins are possible in the afternoon when it's quieter. The Champagne bar (10am-5pm) has no dress code and rarely needs a booking.
- Is it family friendly?
- Not really. It's a sophisticated adult bar with a dress code and quiet, moody lighting. Fine for a well-behaved older teen in the afternoon, but it's not built for young kids.
- Can I just visit to see the gin tower?
- The tower is the centrepiece and you can admire it while having a drink, but there's no ticketed tour. The cheapest way in is the afternoon Champagne bar where a glass of bubbly buys you the full Gatsby-era view.
- What's the dress code?
- Smart casual is enforced from 5pm. No shorts, singlets or slippers for men (long pants and covered shoes expected); ladies avoid slippers and beachwear. Before 5pm it's relaxed, which is a nice loophole.
- What should I order?
- A gin and tonic done properly here is the move, ask the staff to match a gin to your taste from the 1,300+ bottles. The signature Atlas Martini and their Champagne cocktails are also strong.
