Absolutely loved Venue 68 and Shanghai. The location was perfect, the drinks were great, and all of my friends kept complimenting how amazing the staff were. Everything came together to make my 30th birthday perfect. I would highly recommend everyone to book here. You won’t be disappointed.

Party · 40 guests · November 2025 · Wine Cellar

The basement venue is perfect for a proper party with speakers. The staff were amazing on the night with drinks orders. It was relaxed and a great atmosphere. Everyone had the best time!

I disliked the fact I was not told in advance how much paperwork would be needed to bring my own DJ decks and speakers as this caused significant stress and extra cost. I paid for PLI insurance, got the equipment pat tested according to the venue’s rules and then when I got there the manager didn’t even know how to plug the stuff in and we ended up having to plug two extension leads together because there was not a long enough one which a) isn’t very safe and b) is quite ridiculous given the lengths I was made to go to do things legally/properly.

About 68&SHANGHAI

68&SHANGHAI is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.

68&SHANGHAI is a cocktail and wine bar that pairs an intimate, speakeasy-style cocktail lounge with a curated wine cellar and flight programme.

Venue highlights: The venue occupies multiple levels that present contrasting ambiences for private hires: a quieter downstairs area with dim lighting and booth seating, and an upstairs lounge with intimate seating and striking decor. The venue runs a curated wine list including flights and by-the-glass options alongside a compact signature cocktail menu that explores Oriental flavour pairings. The venue provides in-house catering and menus that include vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, and it hosts promoted ticketed events and drink-led tastings.

Best for: Wine tastings and guided flight events; cocktail receptions and drinks-led launch parties; small private dinners or canapé receptions.

Location: Spitalfields sits within a busy market and dining quarter, offering plenty of nearby bars and restaurants where guests can continue the evening.

What guests say: The downstairs seating area is quieter and features dim lighting and booth seating. The upstairs seating area provides a more vibrant, intimate cocktail room with striking decor. The service is friendly and knowledgeable about wine, and the wine list regularly includes flights and a broad selection by the glass.

Yes! Here's what guests who have hosted their birthdays at this venue say:

  • Maritsa T. rated it 5/5 stars
    'The venue was absolutely perfect, I couldn't recommend it enough! The space is excellent and you can adjust the lighting and have entire control of the music. The aircon was fab on a hot day. I came in to see the venue before booking and Ed the manager was incredibly helpful, as was he and the bar staff all night for my birthday party. They checked in on if we needed anything, were always available, and lovely people! The food was also very tasty, and happy hour until 8pm on a Saturday is amazing. Overall it was the perfect place to host my birthday party for 20-25 people. Many of my friends left saying they wanted to hire the venue themselves in the future!'
  • Alex F. rated it 4.8/5 stars
