The Bunker

French Concession

LoginSave

This speakeasy is located inside the Green & Safe restaurant on the 2nd floor, behind a wooden palette–style door. This sophisticated spot is a top choice for a quiet cocktail within Xintiandi. If you're drinking, you can skip the Green & Safe dining queue and order from the menu. Most of the cocktails are excellent, though some are a bit wacky.

The strawberry rice pudding, for example, has Mount Gay rum, sherry, strawberry and cream cheese foam. The Bitter Giuseppe comes with black tea–infused sake, whiskey, Aperol and orange bitters. Cocktails are made using fresh ingredients from Green & Safe's farm.
