Hotel BarThe Bvlgari Bar
The Bvlgari Bar shares the 47th floor of Bvlgari Hotel Shanghai with Il Ristorante Niko Romito, high in the hotel's tower on North Shanxi Road, and looks out on the Bund riverfront and the Pudong skyline. Its centerpiece is the oval counter that each Bvlgari hotel reimagines, inspired by Rome's Fontana della Barcaccia; in Shanghai it is hammered bronze under a mirrored steel top, its rippled surface a nod to Suzhou Creek beyond the windows. Guests settle into chrome and black leather seating, and a private outdoor terrace opens up a wider view. The list runs to Italian cocktail classics, fine wine, tea and snacks, and at sunset the Bvlgari Aperitivo pairs each drink with fresh canapés.

1515 West Bar
1515 West Bar is the cocktail bar of The 1515 West, Chophouse & Bar, on level 4 of Jing An Shangri-La in the Jing An Kerry Centre off West Nanjing Road. The room is dressed in classic New York style and has views over the piazza toward Mao Zedong's one-time residence; guests can sink into a chesterfield sofa and ask the bartender to point the house out. Head bartender William Di, a 2018 Havana Club Bartending Competition winner in the Beijing district, builds drinks on local ingredients, unusual vessels and molecular methods. The bar's drinks list leans on whiskey and aged spirits, and the chophouse itself serves Australian beef dry-aged for at least 25 days.

Sky59 Rooftop Bar
Sky59 Rooftop Bar takes the 59th floor of MGM Shanghai West Bund, the hotel on Yunjin Road in the Xuhui District whose lobby sits two floors below on the 57th. This stretch of riverbank was once home to working docks and an early civilian airfield, and the bar nods to the old runway by serving drinks from an airline trolley; its signature cocktails include Silent Upgrade, Boarding Soon, Lost & Found and Last Call. Green mosaic-style pendant lamps hang over curved banquettes, marble tabletops and dark wood, and a terrace opens onto a panoramic view of the city. A live band plays several nights a week, and the kitchen sends out snacks alongside Western and Asian plates.

The Ritz Bar & Lounge
The Ritz Bar & Lounge is the cocktail bar of The Portman Ritz-Carlton Shanghai, the brand's very first hotel in China, tucked quietly into the Shanghai Centre complex on West Nanjing Road in the Jing'an District. The hotel describes a room where Art Deco motifs meet contemporary design, reimagining the glamour of 1920s and 1930s Shanghai. The bar is counted among the city's earliest jazz venues, and live sets still play most nights. Around it, the Shanghai Centre holds boutiques and a chocolate shop, and the hotel's Portman's Restaurant builds its menu around Wagyu and Black Angus surf and turf, with comfort food given a creative twist.
