First time staying at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Shanghai🏨The view from the window is better than that at the Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund😘😘😘Between the service and the image, I feel it is the Waldorf Astoria, and the food in the restaurant has its own merits
This is our first time at the Ritz-Carlton, Pudong, Shanghai. We dined at the top floor flair bar at night. It was a bit cold on a rainy day. But Amber's service was very good and professional. We are Korean so our Chinese is not very good, but she was very patient in explaining the dishes and drinks to us. Thank you very much.

This time I sat in Area A, with a very good view, so I could see the performance on the stage more clearly and with a good sense~
The interaction with the singers was also strong~
The singers sang well and at a very high level~
[Service]
The staff member in charge of A23 was very timely and diligent in cleaning up the garbage and signing the skewers~
The atmosphere was great! The sound system was amazing and the karaoke experience was great. Standing on the balcony and looking at the first floor, the stage and the crowd were spectacular and the scene was beautiful. The whole row of bands was very impressive, and the singers who appeared later were of higher quality. Ren Ji and Bai Chao Luo Meng were particularly popular.

The newly opened COA has a larger space and a more spacious layout, which can accommodate about 80 customers! 🏠 There are four floors, each with a unique theme and bar, so looking forward to it! ! !
The overall atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant, suitable for a drink with girlfriends. The bartender's cocktail mixing skills are beyond doubt, and each drink has a unique creative inspiration.

A bar hidden behind a bookstore, the Dark Door Bar, I experienced the effect of Open Sesame. Many people were standing inside to drink. Fortunately, I was lucky and I could get a seat when I walked in. It was on the second floor and very lively. I ordered a sour drink, which tasted good. The atmosphere was great.
It is one of the top bars in Shanghai. It has a great atmosphere. There are three floors after the secret door is opened. There is no need to queue. I ordered two glasses of my favorite wine. It was very lively on Friday night. I really like the relaxed and happy atmosphere here. Recommended

Who would have thought that I would come across such a good bar? The environment is simply amazing. It's super good. The experience is great.
The sky bar on the 59th floor of Shanghai West Bund MGM Hotel🥃
It is my favorite bar in Xuhui District🍻I often make appointments with friends to come to SKY59🍻
Here you can also overlook the night view of the West Bund Riverside (really beautiful😍) The bar atmosphere is particularly good, and the photos are also good📷
🔔Except Monday, there are resident bands performing every night🎶 (starting at 20:00🎤)

SKY59 bar often organizes various joint or guest activities🤣
I also happened to come across their flash mob event with Lusfen this time🍜very lively🔥
I can actually eat Guangxi snail rice noodle in this high-end hotel hahahaha😆Tonight is just the Guangxi flavor theme, with special dishes & special snacks😋
(Then I start to look forward to what the next theme will be🍻I have to wait for the preview of West Coast MGM🤣)
The average consumption per person is 200-300💰It's up to you to spend money💯

Seasonal wine list, each one is very distinctive, the environment is very private and quiet, but very relaxing, I like this atmosphere very much, but my favorite is the snacks, French fries, wontons and duck tongues are all super delicious😋
A well-deserved treasure bar, the dishes are very distinctive and all named after landmarks. The overall atmosphere is very relaxing. They even have red oil dumplings. You can eat while drinking. The environment is also quiet and no one disturbs you.

Bulgari Hotel Shanghai has an inconspicuous entrance, a beautiful building, a comfortable lobby, and good service. There is a chocolate shop in the lobby, and afternoon tea is available. Bulgari's chocolate cake is rich in ingredients, and the chocolate sauce is rich, but not too sweet. It looks small and exquisite, and my family likes it very much. The hotel is quite quiet in the afternoon, and parking is convenient at the door. You can come and have a cup of coffee.
You need to book a week in advance for the weekend. It is a relatively small bar, and there are not many places with river views. The interior decoration is also quite ordinary. There is a river view glass house on the 48th floor. The location is excellent and the view is super good. It shows your taste! You can overlook Shanghai from here! It is a very good place for afternoon tea in the wives’ circle
Haha!

The jazz bar on the first floor of Peace Hotel is also a very famous place. When you come to Peace Hotel, you must definitely visit the jazz bar to experience it. The jazz band has an average age of over 60 years old, which is very good!
The grandpas are so old, but they can still perform such wonderful jazz for us. The biggest feature of the hotel is these grandpas. They may be the oldest performers in all bars.

The industrial style decoration, combined with warm yellow lighting, makes people feel very relaxed.
It's worth it if you don't queue up!
As for how to avoid queuing up, go to the bar at 5 o'clock when it opens to drink! I was the first customer that day, and everyone was very enthusiastic!
The wine list is 7788, and as a bar with an environmental concept, the ingredients are also interesting!
The great paper caper uses Shaoxing rice wine, which is strong and a bit heady; the classic penicillin is rich in layers, balanced in taste, and delicious!
The original uses beeswax to seal the wine and ferment it in advance, with a salty and fresh taste, and it is topped with oyster leaves, which really tastes like oysters!
Small is beautiful has an island atmosphere, refreshing in taste, ordinary but not bland~
How bad are banners? It is an interesting wine, the fermented 🍌 liquid is integrated into the wine, and protein powder is added. After drinking it, I feel muscle Up, and the taste is sweet!
Diary of young is the best of the third round. Although it contains whiskey, bourbon and wine, the fusion is surprisingly good. It has an orange flavor, but it is not very sweet and refreshing, and there is no strong alcohol taste!
I forgot how many cups there were 🤣 Overall, it is worth drinking, but if you want to queue up, it is really unnecessary!
