Heyday Description

Pull open the tall metal door on Taian Lu and you’ll find yourself in an alternate universe: rambunctious e-bike addled streets are replaced by sultry jazz asqipao-clad waitresses and tux’ed waiters deftly navigating a light haze of cigarette smoke.

This isn’t a bar that happens to have a jazz musician playing in a dark corner: the music is front and center, and it’s worth listening to. The menu is also extensive, with an assortment of barrel-aged classic cocktails, single malts and some in-house concoctions.
