Coa Shanghai

The Shanghai branch of this acclaimed agave spirits bar specialises in tequila and mezcal-based cocktails, with an unmatched selection that features hundreds of bottles. Housed in a four-storey building, Coa provides a quartet of themed experiences on each floor. The lively Taqueria on the ground floor serves up tacos and casual sippers like Margaritas and Micheladas, while Cantina on the second floor keeps things laid-back with highball-style cocktails. The third-floor Salon is where Coa’s heart truly beats, with signature creations such as the Bloody Beef Maria and Pepper Smash, while the top-floor Mezcaleria is a treasure trove of premium agave spirits. This effortless blend of laid-back charm and cocktail mastery is exactly what has made Coa a gem that shines brightly in Shanghai’s bar scene.
