Atrium Bar 317 is the lobby-level bar of Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium at 317 Outram Road, open every day from 11am to 1am with last orders at 12.30am. It's an easy, welcoming spot built around well-made drinks and uncomplicated food — the kind of place that works for a mid-afternoon break as comfortably as it does for a late-night pour.
The drinks list leans classic: timeless cocktails alongside a curated selection of red and white wines, bubbles, hard liquor and beers on tap. Daily happy hour runs from 4pm to 8pm, with drinks starting at $10 per glass.
Newer creations give regulars a reason to keep exploring. The Singapore Heritage Cocktail Collection is the bar's latest line-up of signature serves, while the Old Fashioned promotion brings together six variations of the classic, each showcasing a different whisky style, sugar, bitter and aromatic. For those who want to go behind the bar themselves, the 'Unlock Your Inner Mixologist' class offers a hands-on, light-hearted introduction to crafting classic cocktails and mocktails.
Food stays deliberately simple: chorizo, spiced potato wedges, truffle fries and mini beef sliders — light bites made to sit next to your glass at any hour. Table bookings and enquiries are handled by WhatsApp on +65 9114 0283, by phone on +65 6733 0188, or via Atriumbar317.sinhi@ihg.com. The bar shares the hotel with Xin Cuisine Chinese Restaurant and the halal-certified Atrium Restaurant buffet, making it a convenient nightcap stop after dinner.
Atrium Bar 317 sits on the lobby level of Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium, along Outram Road in the Tiong Bahru area — the '317' in the name is the hotel's street number. It embraces what a good lobby bar should be: easy to reach, relaxed, and open when you actually want a drink. The bar operates daily from 11am to 1am, with last orders at 12.30am, which makes it a dependable option for everything from a mid-afternoon pause to a proper nightcap, whether you're staying at the hotel or dropping in from the neighbourhood.
The daily rhythm here centres on happy hour. Every day from 4pm to 8pm, drinks start at $10 per glass — a straightforward proposition with a way of turning a quick visit into a longer one. Because it runs seven days a week, weekends included, there's no need to plan around it. It's a natural slot for after-work gatherings, pre-dinner drinks, or simply a well-earned break, as the team puts it.
The core list covers the essentials, done classically: timeless cocktails, a curated selection of red and white wines, bubbles for the celebratory moments, hard liquor for slower sipping, and beers on tap for the no-decisions-needed nights. It favours the dependable over the flashy — exactly what you want from a bar you can visit any night of the week.
Where the bar distinguishes itself is in its newer collections. The Singapore Heritage Cocktail Collection is the team's latest line-up of cocktail creations, built — in their words — to help you discover your new favourite sip. Whisky drinkers get something more specific: a curated collection of six signature Old Fashioned variations, each showcasing a different approach to whisky styles, sugars, bitters and aromatics. Working through two or three in a single sitting is one of the more satisfying ways to spend an evening here, and a quietly good lesson in how much one classic drink can change from glass to glass.
The food menu is short by design and built around pairing: chorizo, spiced potato wedges, truffle fries and mini beef sliders. These are plates that exist to accompany a drink rather than steal its spotlight, available any time of the day the bar is open. A bowl of truffle fries next to a happy-hour pour at 5pm is a perfectly defensible early dinner, and ordering a few to share turns the table into a proper grazing spread.
For anyone who wants more than a seat at the counter, the bar runs 'Unlock Your Inner Mixologist', an intimate, hands-on DIY mixology class covering classic cocktails as well as mocktails. The format is equal parts education and entertainment — expect plenty of shaking, stirring, tasting, laughing, questions and the occasional 'aha' moment, with drinks you'll be able to proudly recreate at home.
Atrium Bar 317 takes bookings and enquiries by WhatsApp on +65 9114 0283, by phone on +65 6733 0188, or by email at Atriumbar317.sinhi@ihg.com. The address is 317 Outram Road, Singapore 169075, with the bar on the lobby level. Happy hour runs 4pm to 8pm daily, with drinks from $10 per glass.
Its place inside Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium also makes it a convenient full-evening proposition: Xin Cuisine Chinese Restaurant serves Cantonese classics as part of the same dining line-up, and Atrium Restaurant runs a halal-certified buffet featuring local favourites such as chilli crab and laksa. IHG One Rewards members can earn points on dining, with periodic multiplier promotions through the year. But the bar stands comfortably on its own — arrive at 4pm, order from the happy hour list, and let the evening decide the rest.
