👍👍 It was packed the Saturday night I came in, so I didn't get food and just had one cocktail, but I still walked away impressed. The bar felt plucked right out of the heights of of the cocktail renaissance of SF and NYC, complete with the suspender-wearing bartenders (but no waxed mustaches). The ice...

👍👍 Took a walk from Nanjing Toad East towards Shanghai Bund. Cooling weather and blue clear sky is very soothing and comfortable. The landmark Pearl of Orient stands tall and form a good backdrop for photography.

Boxing Cat Brewery
Bar
👍 A nice location close to many shops, restaurants, and plazas. Some beers are excellent, some are ordinary, and the spicy Korean chicken I had was underwhelming due to its saltiness, but the space was vast and well-decorated.

🫤 Someone should explain how to put the gas in the draught beer. I handed a flat pint back to the bar, tried to explain the issue but got no credit for my next drink. If I come here again, I wont touch the draught beer.

😠 This place is closed. There was work being done to the place yesterday that might of been the makings of a new bar but as of now this place is no more. NOTE: travelers, take all reviews for China with a grain of skepticism if the establishment will be still in business. We tried many only to find ou...

Shanghai Brewery

🫤 Great spot for a beer, terrible spot to work. The only available plugs are downstairs at the bar which is too high to work comfortably on. For a Shanghai pub I'd rate it a 5 for beer and service, and 4 for food, but for an afternoon work place it gets a zero. Upstairs doesn't open until 6pm.

👍 Nice roof top and perfect for a drink. The food is ok even if a bit expensive for Shanghai. No Chinese food, only international like burgers, mezzo platter, cured meat, etc. Totally an international place where you can enjoy a nice glass of wine or good cocktail.

😠 A few years ago two colleagues and I went here for drinks and something to eat. We decided to start with drinks, but shortly after being served, we were approached by a man who seemed to be the manager or shift leader or maybe even the owner. He walked right up to our table and told us that customer...
