Located in the beating heart of Jing’an district, The ZUK Bar brings a taste of nature and an exciting update in Shanghai’s dynamic neighbourhood. Following the launch of a new garden terrace filled with lush greenery, along with an expanded beverage menu and an appetising food selection, The ZUK Bar is poised to become a quintessential spot for innovative cocktails, drinks, and light Mediterranean-style bites. The stylish spot at The Sukhothai Shanghai is a bistro by day, with a vibrant energy that blends into a convivial bar as night falls.
Expanding The ZUK Bar’s seating to around 96 guests, the spacious and verdant new outdoor terrace is accessible from street level, an extension of the indoor space defined by white and green leaf-patterned wall tiles as well as custom-made white and walnut-coloured furnishings. The refined outdoor terrace is complete with lush plants and comfortable settees – a perfect backdrop for a tête-à-tête over masterfully-mixed cocktails, or a delightful afternoon gathering stretching into a lively evening. With views of the leafy Weihai Road, the exotic bamboo screens create an oasis for guests to enjoy all kinds of bespoke creations amidst the fast-paced business district.
The thoughtfully-assembled drink menu blends exquisite mixology with a touch of playfulness to offer a captivating multi-sensory experience. Originally from Budapest, Hungary, Bar and Beverage Manager Attila Balint is known for his expertise and aestheticism. Tapping into the magic of number six, Balint’s signature cocktails are the perfect concoction of creativity, ingredients and techniques – The Sixth Sense, MI6 and Hexagon introduce fresh fruitiness for a tangy taste, while Six Dynasties and Sixpack highlight a sweet floral notes. Infused with chai and coffee, Carbon carries a dessert-like bitterness for a unique experience. Cocktail connoisseurs will also be impressed by the Reimagined Classic collection with Balint’s witty “tea twist”, embark on a virtual journey of nature with Jasmine Flower Fields and Himalayan Foothills. An eclectic selection of non-alcohol-based concoctions, including June, Dice and The Perfect Number, is also made available for guests who would like a taste of the bar’s new creations, without the liquor.

The bar’s delectable cocktails, mocktails, spirits and wine are matched with an array of bar bites, ranging from classic cold cuts and cheese to the popular ‘torta della nonna’ mascarpone ice cream. Grounded by its first-class hospitality, the ZUK Bar’s dynamic menu features a mixture of tempting staples and delicious desserts.
