Singapore’s Atlas bar a cut above the average ‘gin palace’

Singapore’s Atlas bar is housed in a 7,400 square foot Art Deco space and aims to rival Raffles, thanks to a world-class gin menu, says Bennett Marcus. 

For visitors to Singapore, a trip to the Long Bar at Raffles Hotel is a rite of passage, where you can perch on a padded stool and sip a cerise-colored Singapore Sling in the 130-year-old building named after the country’s founder.

But there’s a new kid in town. Atlas, housed in what locals affectionately call the ‘Batman Building’ due to its similarities to Gotham City’s Wayne Tower, bills itself as having the world’s largest collection of gin.
