Pony Up

A neighbourhood bar set within the lively beat of Shanghai’s Jinxian Road, Pony Up is the city’s go-to destination for elevated, unfussy cocktails. The space is split into two distinct concepts: a sunlit front bar and a cosy back bar, each offering its own vibe and menu. Daytime brings aperitif-style cocktails designed for easy conversations, while sunset transforms the back into a hub for richer, more experimental pours crafted with unexpected ingredients. Anchored by a warm palette of walnut, velvet orange and deep greens, the atmosphere remains elevated yet relaxed, while American-inspired snacks rival the cocktails in popularity.

Tatler Tip

Come early for the low-ABV aperitifs and stay for the bolder menu as night falls.
