Have you visited Atrium, the sophisticated lobby bar in Pan Pacific Singapore before? The elegant lounge sits in the heart of the hotel lobby, and you can choose to have your drinks on Asia’s longest bar or at one of the private pods floating atop a pool.

Atrium’s chic decor and classy ambience have always been its main draw, and now, the gastro-lounge has an even more enticing reason for you ladies to drop by. Pan Pacific Singapore’s Ladies’ Night is everything!

The unmissable promotion – available every Wednesday* – features unlimited house wines, house spirits, artisanal cheese and gourmet charcuterie at only S$48++ per lady!

From now until 01 Mar 2017, quote ‘ladyironchef’ upon making a reservation for Atrium’s Ladies’ Night and you stand to receive a complimentary glass of Champagne per lady (while stocks last) and a further 10%, 15% or 20% off the total bill for groups of two, three or four respectively.

UPDATE:  Pan Pacific Singapore Ladies’ Night Promotion has ended.

A night out in Singapore is never a wallet-friendly affair. So we could hardly contain our excitement when we found out that a three-hour indulgence of free-flow canapés and house sundowners costs only S$48++ per person – only applicable if you are a lady, of course.

With that same amount, one can probably only purchase two cocktails elsewhere. But over at Atrium, you get endless servings of booze and tapas.

Atrium’s weekly Ladies’ Night promotion is held every Wednesday from 6pm to 9pm and all ladies are entitled to refillable premium house red and white wines, beers, five types of house pour spirits and a rotational array of premium cheeses, handcrafted sausages, hams and cold cuts by Master Butcher Leonhard Weber.

The house white wines are Heart of Hearts Chardonnay and Miguel Torres San Medin Sauvignon Blanc from South Australia and Curico Valley, Chile respectively. The Australian Chardonnay is filled with zest and has a delightful citrus finish, while the Chilean wine is a refreshing floral white wine characterised by fruity notes such as grapefruit and passionfruit.

Prefer the reds? You are not forgotten. Atrium’s Ladies’ Night entitles you to unlimited South Australia’s Heart of Hearts Shiraz and Chile’s Miguel Torres San Medin Cabernet Sauvignon. We love the Australian Shiraz’s rich aroma of blackcurrants and the Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon’s lingering aftertaste of spices and wild berries. Bottoms up!

Beer enthusiasts can quench their thirst with free flow of ice-cold Heineken and Tiger draft beers. A pint of beer at any other watering hole in the CBD would easily set you back at least S$10. It is honestly a no-brainer to come to Atrium instead, where you get to drink as many as you want – in a much nicer environment.

If beer and wine ain’t your cup of tea, then dive straight for Atrium’s five house pour spirits, i.e. Banks Rum, Bombay Sapphire Gin, Maker’s Mark Bourbon Whisky, Johnnie Walker Black Label Whisky and Smirnoff Black Label Vodka. Choose from a variety of mixers to complement your choice of poison or if you wish, you could even drink them on the rocks.

Alcoholic beverages aside, ladies can also look forward to refillable platters of luxurious cheeses. This drove us crazy, because it simply means a cheese party with the girlfriends!

Sink your teeth into soft and creamy Camembert Cheese, light and buttery Brie, firm Cheddar Cheese and the semi-hard Edam Cheese. For maximum satisfaction, pair the Brie – which has a delicious subtle salty finish – with Chardonnay. Ah, we are drooling already.

A selection of signature cured meats are served alongside the cheeses and you can look forward to Pork Garlic Sausages, Chorizos, Virginia Ham and Prosciutto Cotto. These savoury treats – handmade from Pan Pacific Singapore’s Master Butcher Leonhard Weber’s safeguarded recipes – are filler-free and absolutely tasty.

An indulgent evening of never-ending alcohol and canapés at an elegant and atmospheric bar is actually more affordable than you think – well, at least, it is so at Atrium. We suggest you drop everything and make a reservation for you and your girl squad before the tables are fully booked.

Once again, do remember to quote ‘ladyironchef’ to receive a free glass of champagne per lady (while stocks last) and to enjoy a further 10%, 15% or 20% off the total bill for groups of two, three or four respectively.

This means you only have to pay S$38.40++ per person when you come in a group of four or more whilst indulging in all that awesome privileges.

Gather your girl squad, let your hair down and paint the town red! #TGIW.

*Ladies’ Night is available every Wednesday, 6:00pm to 9:00pm at Atrium. Not valid on eve of or on Public Holidays.

Opus Bar & Grill – located on the ground floor of Hilton Singapore – is an intimate and modern grill restaurant which also serves the best steaks in Singapore. The restaurant’s secret recipe in divine meat lies in its specially commissioned Himalayan salt tile dry-aging cabinet, charcoal grill, the usage of only excellent prime cuts and high quality ingredients.

You can tell these people are really serious about their meats. And we love how Opus is just the place to visit whenever we crave for a good steak that will not disappoint. The best part? They are easily the place that offers the most affordable premium steaks in town!

From 18 January to 31 March 2016, you get free-flow sparkling, white and red wines with any order of Opus Beef Selection from Monday to Thursday between 7pm to 9pm. And from Friday to Sunday, enjoy a generous 50% discount off wines by the bottle with a steak purchase.

In addition to this, quote “LICOPUS” to get a complimentary best-seller dessert of Charcoal Grilled Banana with smoked salted caramel, coconut and calamansi ice cream with a minimum spend of just S$80 in a bill! Limited to first 80 redemptions only.

We know what you are thinking. You are skeptical of such a fantastic deal and wonder if it is only because your steak will cost an arm and a leg.

But your eyes are not tricking you. Prices at Opus Bar & Grill start from S$58++ for a 250g Grainge Angus to S$110 for a 800g dry-aged Australian Angus OP rib from Rangers Valley (for two pax) – an absolute steal when compared to many other lavish steakhouses!

Yes, S$110 for a huge slab that is good for two! Unbelievable, right? Regular steak eaters would know what value this is, and how you would easily have to pay double the price for that sort of quality at most of the steak houses in Singapore.

Opus Bar & Grill’s beef selections features five scrumptious premium steaks – just five good cuts is all you need.

The ambience and affordability makes it perfect for virtually any occasion, be it an anniversary dinner, family reunion or company’s celebratory dinner. A private dining room that can accommodate up to 20 seated guests is available too.

Each well-marbled steak at Opus Bar & Grill has been cooked with masterly finesse over an open flame to achieve an irresistibly delicious caramelised and smokey flavour.

Choose to complement the meats with a variety of high quality salts or pair them with Garlic Herb Butter, Bone Marrow with Red Wine Sauce, Green Peppercorn Sauce and Black Truffle Mushroom Sauce. But if you are like us who prefer a splendid steak naked, go for it!

We tried the entire menu just to suss out the best for you.

It was the Australian Kobe Wagyu Ribeye (S$92++ for 220g) with a marble score of 6, and Australian Tajima Wagyu Sirloin (S$88++ for 220g) with a marble score of 4/5 that have stolen our hearts forever.

Both wagyu steaks are remarkably tender, almost achieving a melt-in-your-mouth texture. There is no turning back once you savour the best; they are so satisfying that you will definitely head back for more. Best thing now is to take advantage of the beverage promotion, because steak and wine is just about the best pairing and you need not even pay an extra cent for free-flow of the house pours!

If you are a more budget-conscious steak lover, the grain-fed Grainge Angus Tenderloin (S$62++ for 220g) should do the trick to impress, too. Sure, it won’t be as impressive as the ones with better marbling, but while tenderloins tend to be very firm and hard to chew, Opus’ version is actually still quite tender and we did a double take! Pretty damn decent for a beginner’s steak!

The star of the show – the Australian Angus OP rib from Rangers Valley (S$110++ for 800g) – has a marble score of 4 and has been dry-aged for about a month. It is ideal for sharing between two persons, but should you be able to devour them all by yourself, by all means; nobody is judging!

With the inclusion of unlimited house sparkling, red and white wines should you dine from Monday to Thursday between 7pm to 9pm from now till 31 March, we are so going to visit Opus Bar & Grill again soon.

Just so you know too – there is a simple menu of side dishes that can complement your steaks. The highly popular gluten-free Smoked Risotto with Leek and Pecorino is Opus’ signature, or you can go for the classic Mac and Cheese. Grilled Green Asparagus and Baby Green Salad are for those who need their greens.

Each side dish is affordably priced at S$6++ each. Yes, you read that right. Aren’t you shocked by the price tag once again? Everywhere else charges at least S$12++ for side dishes and at Opus, it is half of that!

Good things take time, and a wait is required for the mouthwatering steaks.

You can start your meal with sumptuous starters first while waiting. We like the Tandoori Chicken Skewer (regular – S$16++, large – S$22++) and Tartar of Bluefin Tuna (S$17++).

Sweet notes to end your meal shall be grilled items, too. Well, the restaurant is called Opus Bar & Grill, yes? Of course the grilling concept has to extend to the desserts too!

The two fruity desserts that we highly recommend are Charcoal Grilled Banana (S$12++) and Grilled Honey Pineapple (S$12++).

First, we have a banana-based dessert that is beautifully flame-grilled and caramelised, then served with smoke salted caramel coconut and calamansi ice-cream. And we have a gorgeous pineapple treat that is grilled but still has its juice fully retained, then garnished with crumbles and a rum sauce.

Our readers can quote “LICOPUS” to get a complimentary Charcoal Grilled Banana worth S$12++ with a minimum spend of S$80 in a nett bill. We need not explain how easy that is, right? This amazing offer is limited to one redemption per table, and is limited to the first 80 redemptions per night.
