About this space

Shanghai & Bartender's Room is a private event space in 68&SHANGHAI centred on a curved upholstered banquette within an enclosed, cocktail-lounge layout.

Design: The room has dark textured walls, frosted windows that diffuse daylight and low ornate lantern pendants. The fit-out pairs velvet upholstery, small round tables and Oriental decorative accents across a compact floorplan.

Features: The room includes Wi‑Fi, air conditioning and a PA system with speakers and allowance to play own music. The layout provides low round tables and stools suited to drinks service and standing mingling. The hire is subject to a noise restriction for late hours.
