That's Shanghai takes a look at some of the best upcoming F&B events
Jun 24-30: Negroni Week: Cheers for Charity

The quintessential Italian cocktail, a Negroni combines the flavors of gin, vermouth and Campari; amalgamating in a boozy aperitif. And what better way is there to sample this fine continental concoction than knowing the more you drink, the more money is going to charity! Cloud 9 is kindly donating a percentage of each Negroni sale throughout the week, so you’ll be excused for having one too many. Much more fun than doing a marathon in fancy dress, make sure you do your bit.
Jun 24-30, 5pm-late. RMB88 per glass. Cloud 9. See event listing.
Jun 24-30: Negroni Week at Bitter

More Negronis! Unlike Bond’s vodka martini, a proper Negroni is stirred, not shaken. Bitter is hosting a week of special deals dedicated to the cocktail, allowing guests to sample Italy’s best export since Michelangelo – not the Ninja Turtle. This week is the internationally recognised Negroni Week, so don those festive Italian jumpers and let Negroni’s Father Christmas whisk you away for an amaro-infused celebration.
Jun 24-30, 8am-late. RMB299. Bitter. See event listing.

"I drink a great deal. I sleep a little, and I smoke cigar after cigar. That is why I am in 200% form” – Winston Churchill.

Jun 27: Roast Dinner at The Blind Pig Bourbon and Smokehouse

Whilst the Pig in the venue’s name may be blind, the chefs certainly aren’t, as they have quite the eye for cooking up absolute treats. The monthly meal pays homage to the perfect roast dinner, as the crisp-skinned roast suckling pig and pork belly porchetta serve up the perfect solution for all you home-sick expats.
