This small, low-lit rectangular bar is Shanghai’s well-kept secret for a great cocktail. Once you make your choice from the extensive, yet not over-priced, cocktail menu, the owner Kin or one of his two well-trained bartenders expertly craft your selection. This understated bar is the hard to find combination of location, clientèle, price and service.

Issue 16, Shaken and Stirred: Moscow Mule
"We found the perfect summer drink inside a cool copper mug. A cocktail list standard at Constellation, this intimate bar's classic Moscow Mule (Smirnoff vodka, fresh lime juice and ginger beer) is delicious, but it's not a unique twist on the recipe that makes this one a stand out, it's the ice. One of the few venues in Shanghai to go the extra mile, Kin, Constellation's owner, charcoal filters the water before freezing to ensure its purity and also maximize the ice's coldness. The purer the ice, the colder he says he can get it, slowing the rate that the ice dissolves in your drink, (all other factors being equal, of course) allowing you to savor your cool cocktail that much longer. Combine this long-lasting ice with the cool, copper mug and an expertly prepared drink and you've got the perfect summer sipper."

Have been a couple of times now. However, on my last trip there was 8 in the group and we were told the group was too large and asked to leave. Lovely place, but keep your numbers small !

It is with great reluctance that I write this review. As everyone knows the tricky recipe for the perfect bar is just the right mix of location, people, clientele type, drink price, service and overall atmosphere. To say that Constellation succeeds on all these levels is unfair and inaccurate, but for those of you post the binge drinking excesses of your early twenties and adverse to the wealth flaunting wastefulness of middle age, then Constellation is your bar in almost every respect mentioned. Hint, that last sentence was aimed at thirty year-olds. Located more or less the block behind Element Fresh (Huahai), I've been repeatedly and with each visit find myself enjoying more and more not only their whiskey sours (although, I had to remind them that a better whiskey sour is always made w/ bourbon) but also the ultraviolet light tracks adorning the ceiling. The gaudy furniture fits in nicely with the narrow Japanese run bar and is as conducive to a group outing to a romantic coup de grâce. For the non-smokers, cigarette smoke wasps up nicely but rarely overpowers, so far. If anyone has been here, you’re likely to hate me for revealing this gem of a bar in Shanghai, but for those of you who haven’t, I like my whiskey sours w/ bourbon please.
