Bar Senator Salon
Senator Saloon is widely considered Shanghai’s longest-running craft cocktail bar—having survived nearly two decades without ever messing with the formula. The entrance is deliberately unmarked; finding the door is part of the ritual . Behind it, you step into a 1920s Prohibition-era world of pressed-metal ceilings, velvet damask wallpaper, dim art deco lights, and big-band jazz drifting through the speakers.
Service is a point of pride: waitstaff in braces and bow ties deliver polished, knowledgeable hospitality . Bartenders are known for their skill and ability to craft bespoke drinks based on guest preferences . The bar has a passionate following of regulars who return for the consistently well-made drinks, the cozy neighbourhood atmosphere, and the sense of stepping into a Woody Allen film in the middle of Shanghai.
