Mad About Mezcal
Having won accolade after accolade over the years, most recently being named Asia's Best Bar, COA is finally making moves with news of a second location in Shanghai. Due to open later in October, the bar will take up a three-storey space in Shanghai's Jing An district, with founder Jay Khan due to travel to the city before its launch to oversee the opening period.
COA isn't entering virgin territory, as several mezcal-forward bars have popped up in Shanghai in recent years, including La Mezcaleria, Espiritu, and Mezcalito–although it will certainly be the most prominent name. Stay tuned for more news in the coming weeks.
