Bar scene stalwart Atlas pays homage to 1920s cocktail craft in new menu

A FIXTURE of Singapore’s craft cocktail scene, a regular on The World’s 50 Best Bars List and housed within an iconic Art Deco building, gin-focused bar Atlas needs little introduction.

Yet this bar scene stalwart is not resting on its laurels. It launched a new menu this March, “Preservation of Fire”, which draws inspiration from a saying by composer Gustav Mahler: “Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.”

Lidiyanah Keller, Atlas’ beverage director, described the menu as a homage to the cocktail revival of the 1920s.
