WHY WE LOVE THIS BAR...
68 & Shanghai Cocktail Lounge in Spitalfields brings a sense of polish and intimacy to the neighbourhood, offering a space that feels both contemporary and welcoming. The interiors lean into Chinese-inspired design, with rich colours, intricate detailing, and touches of oriental opulence that create a striking yet comfortable atmosphere. Low lighting and luxurious finishes set the tone, shifting naturally from early evening calm into late-night energy.
The mood strikes a balance between relaxed and refined, making it just as suited to a quiet drink as it is to a more sociable night out. Seating is thoughtfully arranged, with banquettes and tables offering flexibility without losing a sense of intimacy. With its stylish design, warm service, and distinctive décor, 68 & Shanghai Cocktail Bar delivers a Spitalfields experience that feels polished, evocative, and memorably sophisticated.
