Genesis Description

Genesis is a cocktail and whisky bar set in a lovingly renovated lanehouse (and former nun convent) near Xintiandi. Ample lounge seating is afforded over two levels, as well as on a decked terrace out front. On the menu are a selection of premium cocktails, including house signatures and classic libations, in addition to an extensive Scotch-centric whisky selection.

The noise level never reaches above talking level, making it appropriate for relaxed imbibing.
