Ambiance is amazing

There was a huge influence
of Art Decoratifs and the emerging Modernist movement. Now we recognize it as the Art Deco. Bold geometric forms and bright colors mixed with exotic styles of China, Japan, India, and Persia. New materials like aluminum and chrome were also presented. They were discovered before, but not used that much. Buildings got a lot of details and handmade ornaments.

Anyway, Vivi found a building that was built in Art Deco style – Parkview Square Plaza. She took me there for a date and when we entered the building, I saw one of the greatest looking bars ever — Atlas Bar Singapore. When I saw the outline of the building, it took me away. The outside of it is really appealing, and my camera was that day on fire. But the inside… O, my god! Details everywhere, the absolute perfection. It is like you stepped right back in 1920. The era of unbridled fun and good music.

Atlas Bar Menu

The amazement reached further than the appearance, thanks to their drink menu. Well, they have World’s Biggest Gin Collections with more than 1000 gins from all over the world. For example, few London dry gins from the as far back as 1910, or the best of modern craft gins from the distant corners of the world. Many have been generously and personally contributed by their distillers.

In 1920 there was nothing more important than Champagne. These bubbles were running all over Europe at that time. To complement this, you will find in Atlas Bar more than 250 labels of Champagnes in total. Part of their rare collection is from the Parkview Family Cellar. If your wallet is deep enough, you can get even a taste of Heidsieck Monopole & Co. “Goût Américain” from 1907. This Extraordinary bottle will cost you around 144,500 USD. Crazy, I know! However, their selection of rare champagne bottles is straight from the private collection of Hwang’s Uncle George.

Our drinks

With all that famous alcohol options Vivi turned the other way. Her policy is to try less famous drink for a proper evaluation of the place. So, for this reason, she turned to alcohol-free drinks and went for Coffee & Tonic, which was truly delicious. I believe she will try to imitate it on hot summer days. The first thing to remember, it was made of elderflower tonic, floral water, and cold brew coffee. This drink is revitalizing, refreshing and invigorating. Surely, it’s great how nutty and chocolate flavors from the cold brew complete the bitter taste of elderflower tonic.

Atlas Bar is a Gin bar in the first place! That’s the reason I decided to try one
gin
– Death’s Door Gin from the USA. I remember some reading about this distillery, so I gave them a chance. By the side, I ordered their house tonic — East Imperial ATLAS Burma Tonic. This tonic is a bit sweeter. With this in mind, it has a double measure of natural cane sugar and nice acidity from citruses. However, this tonic also has the highest quinine levels available in the market, which gives it a fuller but still balanced taste. This is rounded with lemongrass and mango lime. I must admit, it was a great pair with mine gin!
