I went to many bars in Shanghai last month, and four of them made excellent cocktails. I recommend them to you in no particular order:
1.DENTREE
The theme of this bar is "sustainable development" and the private atmosphere is very good. Cocktails cost between 80- 120 yuan/cup. Although it's not cheap, some of their bartending recipes are really innovative. In addition, the bartender is also top-notch, and he is very familiar with the production process and formula of cocktails. You can adjust what you want to drink, and sometimes you don't know what to drink. Bartender can also customize special cocktails according to tastes and preferences. I like to sit at the bar and watch the bartender mix drinks and enjoy the visual enjoyment.
For example, their cocktails inspired by S'more are decorated with roasted marshmallows wrapped in white chocolate. It looks light, but it tastes rich in hot cocoa, which is novel. Besides, you can also try their snacks, such as fried pig brain. According to the clerk, these are all menus that conform to the theme of "sustainable development".
2. Lemon twist
This is a cheap draft beer cocktail bar, located in Changle Road, a street of Berry Brothers & Luther. At present, 9.9 yuan is the only gold tonic for their opening activities! Although it is cheap, the wine list is not single. There are many kinds of cocktails, including classic cocktails and innovative cocktails. Whether you like refreshing fruity cocktails, rich whisky cocktails or aromatic distilled liquor cocktails, you can find the right taste here!
Other cocktails also cost between 20 and 40 yuan. I have tasted most cocktails on their menu, and the key is that each one is great! It's really a good deal to buy such cocktails at this price in Shanghai. Moreover, the decoration of this house is very bright and relaxed, and the whole bar is filled with a kind of vitality and enthusiasm. No matter whether you are alone or with friends, you will forget your troubles and relax.
3. Cannery
This pub is located next to the online celebrity commune for brunch, and it is a hundred times more lively than the commune next door at night. Other well-known bars in China often have guest bartenders who can always give you a surprise wine list. There will also be some special activities here from time to time, such as bartending competitions or tasting meetings. I took part in a bartending competition, not only observed the exquisite skills of other contestants, but also experienced the fun of bartending.
When I come here, I like Ireland and Belarus. They call them home. The layers are distinct, with shades from top to bottom, which is very beautiful. Their snacks are also very good, and their fried seafood is especially recommended. The service in this house is very good, the waiters are well dressed, and the bartenders will enthusiastically introduce the characteristics and tastes of various cocktails. If I have any questions or special requirements, they will try their best to meet them.
4. Upper room:
Many people in this bar take photos in the afternoon because they can overlook the sunset in Shanghai and the beautiful scenery of the Oriental Pearl Tower. In the evening, you can not only enjoy the night view of Shanghai, but also taste advanced cocktails! This bar specializes in creative cocktails with novel combination and unique flavor. It not only has a unique taste, but also promotes the whole drink to an artistic level through carefully designed decoration and details.
Bartender is very interesting. Be sure to tell them your favorite flavor before ordering wine, and then ask them to recommend wine to you. I feel very happy every time I go! Even if you don't want to chat, it's very satisfying to sit at the bar and watch the bartender skillfully wave his wrist and skillfully mix different alcohol, juice and condiments.
