Travel to the roaring 1920s with ATLAS, a grand lobby and bar in Singapore, and enjoy the iconic Hong Kong skyline over curated cocktails at the trendy CÉ LA VI Hong Kong.

Just when you thought you'd seen all the novel trends and quirky concepts in the bar and club scene, ATLAS is bringing back the basic that matters the most: class. Taking up the ground floor of one of Singapore's most iconic buildings, Parkview Square, ATLAS is all dashing and dapper, and will immediatel­y transport you to the gilded age of the 1920s. Picture the grandest library you can imagine, but replace the books with bottles. Bathed in different shades of Champagne, with art decoinspir­ed tapestries, balconies and leather seating, coming in to ATLAS ignites the jazz spirit in you. While ATLAS opens for dining and drinking throughout the day and night, the place is at its most stellar in the evening, when the intimate golden glow provides a glamorous, yet welcoming, sanctuary after a long day.

There's more than what meets the eye at ATLAS, as the bar holds one of the biggest and the finest collection­s of gin, Champagne and other spirits in Asia. The aforementi­oned bottles lining the antique shelves comprise more than 1,000 gins and 250 Champagne labels, including a London dry gin selection that dates back to 1910. Overwhelme­d? Don't be, as The ATLAS Gin Team (Master of Gin Jason Williams, Head Bartender Roman Foltán and Gin Researcher Jonathan Teo) and The ATLAS Champagne Team (Head Sommelier Mason Ng and Family Sommelier Jack Cheung) are ready to assist you with the finest selection. The extraordin­ary gin and Champagne collection­s at ATLAS are made up from contributi­ons from the house's many friends, distillers and vintners from around the world, in addition to outstandin­g wines and whiskeys out of the Hwang family's – the brains behind Parkview Square and ATLAS – cellar.

ATLAS' drinks menu is as impressive as the venue itself, pages after pages of the most potent spirits and cocktails inspired by the Roaring Twenties. The bar even offers a vintage martini selection, where you can travel back in time by choosing a gin from the decade of your choice (from the 1920s to the 1990s) to be paired with a vintage vermouth. The vintage cocktails section is also inspiring, with tipples like The Florentine Negroni, concocted from 1920s Florentine London dry gin, 1930s Italian sweet vermouth and vintage Campari, or opt for The Deco White Lady for an orange kick to your dry gin. The best thing of all, all this greatness is just the tip of the wonderful iceberg waiting to be revealed.
