Bar Leone Shanghai

$ $ $ $   |   Shanghai, China

Bar Leone’s Mainland China outpost delivers the same charm with added Shanghai flair

 

Imagine the spirited hum of Hong Kong’s go-to cocktail spot, but bigger. Bar Leone Shanghai divides itself across two floors: the ground floor bar di passo captures the same 1970s and 80s Italian sports bar aesthetic as the Bridges Street flagship, anchored by a horseshoe counter, while the first floor lounge offers an intimate, residential feel. The menu celebrates classics with a twist. Think a five-gin Martini, a Yunnan black truffle-infused Godfather and an Olive Oil Sour. Don’t forget the famed food menu, which features the signature mortadella focaccia sandwich alongside Italian pub classics such as smoked olives and meatballs.

Tatler Tip

Like its Hong Kong counterpart, the bar fills up fast. Expect long lines and arrive early to secure a seat before the rush.
