In a contemporary glass cube aside its sister club Coco Banana, Coco Park is a chill respite from the booming beats of Gongti.

Here, DJ Ivan Zhang throws a mix of pop and Latin hits at a more subdued volume, and the bar is stocked with over 60 brands of single malts. Try the Bowmore 12 yr (¥88), or order a well mixed cocktail (¥68). Expect summer barbecues on the outdoor patio very soon.

The glass pane walls and open doors let in natural light and summer breezes while outdoor patio furniture, curtains and lanterns make you feel at home—a rare feeling on the Gongti strip.

DETAILS

Where: Gongti West Gate, next to Coco Banana, 工体西门, Coco 旁边
