New Bars - Shanghai Tang
★★★.5 ✩
Scoot yourself back to Shanghai in its decadent heyday at this sumptuous lounge in Xintiandi. The bar is furnished in silky, chromatic colors and stylized birdcage lanterns cascade from the ceiling.
Pop in for an aperitif before the dinner rush begins downstairs. Sneak out on to the patio area, look out across vintage Chinese slate rooftops and imagine you’re a preliberation opium baron while you sip a cocktail (Asian twists on classic martinis start at RMB55).
