Alcove is the bar at Ensue, on the 40th floor of the Futian Shangri-La, conceived as a comfortable hideaway with a sweeping skyline view. The cocktail menu pays respect to Southern China ingredients, pairing classic and modern elements with an emphasis on freshness and local products from a carefully curated inventory.

The Long Bar at Raffles Shenzhen is the hotel's tribute to the original Long Bar at Raffles Singapore. It serves afternoon tea with a view by day, then live music, tapas style bites and inventive cocktails at night, including the Shenzhen Sling, a local take on the Singapore Sling. Artworks by Cynthia Sah give the room a minimalist look.
Curv is a lobby-level bar at The Ritz-Carlton, Shenzhen, on Fuhua San Road in the Futian District, and the hotel now lists it as Curv Cigar Bar. It has been described as a sleek, modern room with colorful decor, and the hotel bills it for drinks and light snacks late into the evening, with live jazz. The list has covered cocktails, among them the Ritz-Carlton house Martinis and Champagne cocktails. A cocktail menu in 2023 drew on Asian dishes, with coconut chicken and Japanese mushroom soup among its references, and poured a Tom Yum Punch built as a Thai take on a pina colada. Off the lounge sits a humidor, with private boxes for guests' own cigars and liquor.
The Attic is the Park Hyatt Shenzhen's bar on the 48th floor, looking out over the Futian skyline. Alongside the classics, its signature cocktails take their themes from traditional Chinese folklore and pair old stories with premium spirits. Jazz, electronic and ambient music keep the mood relaxed, with live acoustic sets now and then.
Yi Lounge is the bar and lounge of Four Seasons Hotel Shenzhen, up on the sixth floor of the hotel on Fuhua Third Road in Futian. By day it is a sunlit, contemporary room with a terrace under the leaves, where afternoon tea is served. After dark it turns to handcrafted cocktails and light bites, with the lights of the city behind them. Head Bartender Eden Yao has shaped drinks at some of China's most celebrated venues and presented the summer 2025 cocktails here: Misty Rain, which mixes gin and red bayberry with sparkling tea, apple vinegar, olive bitter and aloe, and Chirp Summer, on lime leaf rum and coconut liqueur with fruit juices.
