What are the treasures of whiskey bars hidden in Shanghai’s roadside bar streets?

Ahu firmly believes in a motto: the end of drinking is whiskey. While whiskey is just the most common type of spirit, flavors vary greatly: single malt whiskeys have unique flavors and personalities, while blended whiskeys are more balanced and smooth. The flavor of whiskey varies depending on the place of origin and aging time, and can show various aromas and tastes, such as incense, vanilla, nuts, smoke, etc.

So Ahu likes to go to whiskey bars. Here you can taste top whiskeys from all over the world, and there are often professional bartenders in the bar who will introduce you to different types of whiskey and help you find the one that best suits your taste.

In addition to delicious drinks, the whiskey bar is also a social place. You can exchange ideas with other whiskey lovers and share your preferences and experiences. Sometimes, the bar also holds some whiskey tasting activities and parties, allowing you to have a deeper understanding of the culture and history of whiskey.

We went there together, tasted delicious whiskey, chatted casually, and spent a pleasant and unforgettable moment. I believe this will become a beautiful memory between our sisters! Are you ready? Let’s explore the world of whiskey together!

1.Lab Whiskey & Cocktail

After drinking many types of wine, I don’t really like fancy cocktails or beers that are too fizzy, so I naturally turned to whiskey. This store is my go-to whiskey store, located near Jing’an Temple in Shanghai. The first time I went there, I felt the atmosphere was particularly good. The lighting was a bit dim but suitable for taking pictures. It was a great place to relax, enjoy and explore.

Whiskey is a kind of alcohol with a slight threshold. For those who are just starting to drink, it is very important to choose a suitable store. This store is very suitable: on the one hand, there are really many choices, at least hundreds of them. You can taste a variety of whiskeys. On the other hand, the waiters are also very enthusiastic and will actively recommend them. Because I wanted to try different flavors, I ordered four half-cups, and the waiter thoughtfully brought the bottles over.

Whether it’s a cocktail or a la carte whiskey, it’s all super delicious and has never let me down. It’s completely blind. In terms of price, although it is located in Jing'an Temple, it does not make you feel too expensive and is considered normal. The best part is the quality of the wine is really high!

2. Maybe whiskey

The encounter with this store was purely accidental. I had dinner nearby and took a walk along the street while the weather was nice, and saw this store. I always have a fondness for bars that say they specialize in them on the sign, so I decided to go in and have a drink. As soon as I entered the store, I felt that the atmosphere was quite good. Compared to the retro and gorgeous decoration, this modern and simple style is more to my liking. After all, a simple environment allows me to focus more on wine tasting.

After chatting with the clerk, I chose two whiskeys, Bowmore and Abbey Whirlpool. I really didn’t expect that in front of Abbey Whirlpool, other wines would pale in comparison. Ardbeg Swirl has a strong smoky flavor that is very bright and distinct. Bowmore is an unmistakable choice at any time. Its light peat flavor is perfect for refreshing summer days.

The atmosphere in the bar is good and makes people feel relaxed and comfortable. Recommend this place to friends who are interested in whiskey. Perfect for having a drink and relaxing with friends. There will be more people on weekends, so it is recommended to book in advance.

3.ABA whiskey bar

This bar is very suitable for dating or gathering with friends. The decoration environment in the store gives people an artistic atmosphere, and the store sign is as simple and artistic as a gallery. The cold lighting is also very cool. I like this kind of cool bar because no one talks loudly when I go in, so I can drink and chat quietly. Bars that carry the banner of whiskey bars are generally more professional, unlike Helens that fools people with some sweet drinks. In addition to a single order of whiskey, this wine list also has many specialty wines

Line There is also whiskey available, but here you can try their special drinks. They are really innovative, and the flavor is outstanding and very balanced at the same time. Sometimes I even drink three glasses of the same drink, because it is really special! It is most recommended to try their two specialty drinks: one called "An Occidental Escaped from the East" and the latest "glutinous rice flavored wine". The flavors are all very unique.

If you don’t like the strong taste of wine, you can choose a drink with a lighter taste, paired with the rich aroma of glutinous rice, it’s really delicious!

I personally think this bar is very suitable for a date or chatting with girlfriends and friends. The atmosphere is very good. The address of the bar is the east room on the first floor, No. 1300, Xinzha Road, Jing'an District, Shanghai. The business hours are from 19:00 to 1 am from Monday to Thursday and Sunday, and from 19:00 to 2 am on Friday and Saturday.
