Unlike the hustle and bustle of modern bars, the old Shanghai-style bars emphasize meticulous service and a relaxing atmosphere. Bartenders are eager to share drinking experiences and chat with guests, and some bars invite bands or singers to perform classic songs from the old Shanghai era, making it seem like you've stepped back in time to a lively and prosperous time.

If you want to travel back in time, choose a bar with the flavor of old Shanghai and spend a relaxing evening there! Tiger recommends three bars with old Shanghai flavor!

1. the same spot Old Spot

Walking through the alleys of South Maoming Road, pushing open the wooden door, you will be greeted by the old retro style of decoration, exuding a strong renaissance flavor and filled with nostalgic atmosphere. Although the store is small, the environment is very cozy.

The lighting is soft and the music is gentle, making people feel infinitely cozy. The lighting design of the bar is very elaborate, using warm yellow lights to create a romantic and cozy atmosphere. Copper wall sconces and vintage chandeliers hang on the walls, emitting soft light. The small table in the corner holds delicate candlesticks, making the whole space more warm and charming.

My friend and I then sat down on the soft sofa and had a small drink. On the first page of the wine list are the bar's main cocktails, each of which is interestingly named to represent the flavor of a different stage of life. For example, one of the cocktails is called "Swaddling Clothes", which is made with rum as the base, with Colbeth and green apple juice, the whole drink has a sweet taste, which is very suitable for girls. There's also the Peach and Plum Blossom, made with brandy and red pomegranate syrup, which has a sweet and tart flavor, like a young girl in her youth.

The Old Place is located at Lane 12, No. 133, South Maoming Road, a 110-meter walk from Exit 4 of the subway on South Shaanxi Road.

2. Foo Wine Drinking Yard

Foo Wine's original Bar Loop has been relocated to One on the Bund, with a better and more convenient location than the original, presenting a perfect art deco style and a perfect rendition of the glamor of 1920s Shanghai.

The interior of the bar is meticulously decorated, completely different from the modern simple style. The mahogany bar is lined with bottles of wine, and the walls are covered with black-and-white photos and posters of old Shanghai, like a witness to history. Behind the bar, bartenders dressed in suits skillfully make classic cocktails. In the corner of the bar are vintage leather sofas and round tables, giving you the illusion of being in the old days.

For a moment, it's as if you've returned to the Bund of Shanghai in 1933 to experience that glorious era. Whether from the promenade at the entrance, the vintage revolving door, or the decorative style of red velvet curtains, every detail shows the atmosphere of that glamorous and luxurious night Shanghai in movies and TV. Here, the memory of that century-old night city seems to have never dissipated, as if you were in the movie plot. The new store has a better atmosphere than the old one, and the store's ascetic, high-flying bartenders are a plus.

The drink becomes a triple treat for the senses of sight, taste and smell when it's made by the store manager. There are also cabaret performances on the second floor in the evening, with retro dances set to songs and dances that make you feel like you're back in the Shanghai Bund of the 1990s. Here, old-fashioned jazz music floats out of the stereo, creating a romantic and nostalgic atmosphere. People talk in hushed tones and sip leisurely and classic cocktails, as if listening to stories of old Shanghai. The bar is filled with the faint scent of tobacco, relaxing and quiet, giving a charming sense of serenity.

3. Antique Garden

It's an old internet red, and I can't help but wonder if there really aren't too many single bars in the center of the city that can last more than a decade. The bar is decorated with old furniture and furnishings: vintage liquor cabinets, antique telephones, porcelain vases. The tables are covered with gorgeous silk tablecloths and the chairs are reclined on soft velvet cushions. Immerse yourself in the luxury and sophistication of the social scene of the time.

Love the style of decoration of their home, as the name of the details are full of a sense of story. People come here not only to enjoy the wine and music, but also to meet interesting people through networking and interaction. It's a cozy and intimate setting to relax and talk about what's on your mind. I love their Irish coffee, the alcohol with coffee pulls the mellowness full; the Wanderer I also love, with its strong mint flavor
