With our country's borders now open and travel inbound is all green without the need for quarantine, Atas is proud to present our first international guest shift by Black Tears Rum Ambassador Mr Din Hassan.
Join us this Saturday and celebrate the weekend with behind bar.
Din Hassan
A veteran from Singapore's then budding nightlife industry, Din's experience
behind the bar has been one of the most fulfilling and rewarding in our time.
Rising through the ranks by starting off as a barback (replenisher of bar
inventory and equipment, bar cleaner after operating hours, basically covering
all back end work), Din gradually rose through the ranks and became a full-
fledged bartender and currently he is now working at The Island Rum Company
as their Brand Ambassador.
Beginning his career in Holiday Inn Park View Hotel as a wait staff in 1989,
Din transferred to Holiday Inn Crown Plaza in 1992, first as a barback, then as
a bartender.
He moved on to the popular Escobar as a bartender and was headhunted to
join one of Singapore’s most popular nightclubs, Da Jie in Muhammad Sultan,
in the 90s as their bar supervisor.
Three years later in 2003, he opened Cocco Latte as Bar Operations Manager
and it maintained its popularity as one of Singapore’s most visited nightspots
until Din went to assist in the opening of Oyster Bar (2005) where he was first
officially appointed Operations and Training Manager, even though Din had
been training all the newbies that came under his wing.
After close to 10 years of operations in the food and beverage industry, Din
began his next working curve as mixologist in Klee, 2007. Klee is known as
one of the very first cocktail bars that served fresh fruit cocktails and also
making remakes of classic cocktails, delicious tipples drawing guests.
In 2008, work as bar manager at The White Rabbit (awarded best Dining Room by
the Singapore Tourism Board in 2009).
Din's passion for knowledge and mixing perfect drinks, places him amongst
the foremost pioneers of this burgeoning industry.
