This two-year-old bar at the former home of I Love Shanghai is tucked away on the third floor of an old European-style house and you have to enter through the Singaporean restaurant on ground level. It’s a ragtag place with artworks around, an accessible pool table and a friendly crowd of regulars, it’s the kind of place you can end up staying in all night. Put alongside other dives the drinks aren’t cheap – draft Carlsberg is 40RMB, Mornington pale is 50RMB and TKO IPA is 60RMB (but there’s a daily happy hour from 6-9pm). You’re better off going for the signature Weng Weng (60RMB), a mix of vodka, gin, rum, tequila, brandy and scotch that somehow comes out drinkable.
