Reviews from Google
We have visited hundreds of bars all over the world, but only a few have managed to make a tourist feel truly at home. TOC is definitely one of them! Even though we were 10,000 miles away from home, TOC made us feel welcome and comfortable. The atmosphere is fantastic, the bar staff is extremely friendly and professional, and with Roger, TOC has a truly warm, charismatic manager who clearly loves his job. You can feel the passion and dedication in every detail. We can highly recommend TOC in Shanghai's Xintiandi district to anyone looking for a top location for relaxed drinks, great music, and an unforgettable bar experience. A must-visit!
Fabulous drinks. Music was old school and great! Nice relaxing place to enjoy a smart cocktail after work. Bartenders give great drink recommendations so be sure to ask. Don't forget to check out the terrace.
Honestly, will ruin espresso martini's for you for the rest of your life. It's that good. Service is exceptional. DO IT!
Great story, great atmosphere, amazing hospitality, creativity and quality.
Even though google maps is restricted in China, the bar is located correctly and worth a visit! This is one of four Shingo Gokan’s cocktail bars in Shanghai. And you can see his signature everywhere (glasses, liquor, pictures etc). Atmosphere 9/10 Creative concept in retro-arcade style. Very strong play with neon lights (in a good way) and gaming elements. Various seating options, including 2 balconies, overseeing the promenade and nice views of the city. Bar was founded by two world renowned mixologists Shingo Gokan (owner SG group, Sip & Guzzle, SG Tavern, etc) and Steve Schneider (owner Employees only). Both gave the bar their own signature details, creating the unique “odd couple” vibe Drinks 8/10 Recommendation: Speak Loud (Shinto’s award winning rum-milk tea), Midnight coffee vesper Creative menu with signature drinks from both owners. Unique high quality glasses for the drinks and super cool coasters. Speak Loud is a unique take on a milk tea with boba, mixing it with rum - I liked it. Midnight coffee vesper is similar to an Espresso Martini and tastes great. Mr Miyagi is a Negroni style drink, almost without any bitterness - was great too. Service 9/10 Friendly and attentive team. Bartender is very knowledgeable and talkative - making it fun to stay. Water served on the spot. Prices are above average for Shanghai. This bar was #87 Asia’s best bars 2023 Since google maps doesn’t work properly in China, i can recommend an Instagram account with exhaustive review of all major cocktail bars for China: @aplus_barguide
