    If u enjoy ur gin, ask for Monkey 47 (not on d menu). It's high-end, strong & aromatic! U hv a choice of how u want it: martini, on d rocks, w soda/tonic...

    Very good cocktails, though pricey at 70-100 yuan each. Place gets really smoky later at night. Get there early as they only allow people in as per seating.

    Every day el Cóctel´s “Early Hour” with special deals for you starting at 5:30pm until 8:00pm. Frist crazy deal: French Oysters (Fine de Claire) for only 10RMB each! Enjoy!

    Thank the 10 line, don't try the short cut, it doesn't work. Place is on the east side. Can't miss the shaker with a candle

    The bar is comfortable and serves great drinks. Smoking is permitted so you will return home smelling like an ashtray.

    Since being in City Weekend this place is even more popular. Be prepared to be asked to be here 1 hour only. Then come back with a reservation! Try a kiwi cocktail, too!

    10 kuai oysters! Plus the late night tale is the most perfect coffee based cocktail ever!

    They are not the king of cocktail anymore, challenged left and right, but you still get a decent drink there after all these years.

    Used to be my favorite cocktail bar, but it seems like all the knowledgeable bartenders have left. Great hangout still, just stick to the menu.

    I only ask for home made drinks: mint+cointreau+milk, kalua+cream+cointreau, wiskey+pilipili, and any kind of fruit juice/mix.

    They really know how to use Casa Noble tequila here, just ask for a Casa Noble cocktail..... Awesome.

    Apple mojito is tasty, but potent. For best ambiance, sit at the bar. Ask the Japanese bartender to make your drink-- it's the best this way.

    The Caipirinha is legit! Ask it with Sagatiba, it's the best cachaça EVER.

    If you feel untraditional but still playing around with classics, ask for a Casa Noble Reposado Old Fashion

    For a place named after the cocktail, these sandwiches are loads better than they should be. The smoked salmon in particular is excellent.

    They jacked up their cocktail prices by 20%. The extra profits go to pay off the Uyghur drug lords at the bottom of the stairs

    Every drink they make here is excellent. My favorites are the Dark and Stormy, and the Black Manhattan.

    This is a good place for a business meeting after work. You can keep things professional and still have a good time without going to a hotel bar.

    Sit at the bar and ask Tree to fix you an Old Fashioned. And for the ladies, he makes a great Singapore Sling...

    Limited seats. Was told limited for 70+ ppl only. No standing allowed. Which xplained attitude of Caucasian host. Brashly told us we hv our table 4 an hour only, since there is prior reservation

    The reservation situation is pretty lame. 30 min waiting in the doorway is weak. It's a bar, let people in and drink. It's china - crowded happens

    Was there when a waiter chased down a person trying to skip on a bill. "I will kill you" he shouted as he went berserk and made a scene. Scary !! But the drinks are good and the atmosphere stellar.
