Boxing Cat Brewery (Sinan Mansions)

Bit divey looking restaurant / bar with worn leather seats, relaxed atmosphere. Good beer though, with 12 taps on when I was there. Food was decent western pub fare. I liked the Mocha Porter and the Fuzhou Gose. The double IPA was decent also. They offer a flight but it is fixed. Was my second favourite beer place, after Ming Ri. Definitely worth checking out.

Nice bar, with tables also on the street, in a busy area full of shops, bars and restaurants. Lively atmosphere. Kind service, which offered to move inside to avoid the smell of another customer's cigar. Selection of beer was vast enough, about 15, all from the brewery. I had a nice gose with foshou. Overall, a nice place to go to in Shanghai. Unfortunately, I only had one night and didn't have time to try other places.

Note: This location is closed for renovation.

Nice little place about a 10 minute walk from the train station we used. Right across from a very nice park. Very hospitable staff, though it was hard at times to know who our waiter was. They also served my flight disorganized without indicating what beer was what, but the server was eventually able to rearrange it for me in order. We sat outside but saw the entire inside, really nice place. Some TVs playing sports downstairs at the bar. The streetside was nice, with heaters that we didn't need. Food was downright awesome. I think my wife's mac and cheese was the best I've ever had. My portabella sandwich was also probably the best I've had (several vegetarian options). Beers were only alright, unfortunately. There were six BC beers, so that made the flight easy. Also nice they include the 10% beer in the flight (a way-too-sweet creme brulee stout). Best in the group was a sort-of-IPA, which I got another glass of. Also, the beer isn't cheap but the happy hour lasts till 8pm which is nice. My flight was ~$12 with happy hour, would be ~$16 without.

Nice relaxed bar in a great area. The TKO IPA is interesting and the Trippel Threat is dangerously strong at 8.2% ABV. Next to this bar a short stroll down on 531 FuXing road is the Hiachino Mansion brewery

Pleasant spot across from Fuxing Park. Nice leafy area and it makes for a good stroll around the mansions for first time visitors. The bar is found on the ground floor with lounges and communal tables and there is further seating and space upstairs. The Boxing Cat core range is available alongside one or two seasonals. Food is pub grub and leans towards American soul food, and this also follows suit at their sister venues, however I have found the quality can drastically vary here. This place regularly gets a good crowd as the spot is a convenient option to grab a few beers with friends and happy hour prices are a good deal. Closest metro stop:- Xintiandi.

I went in this bar with my family. The beers are perfect and changing from the boring products of the macrobrewery. The service is nice, the only negative comment is that the staff don’t speak english and they were not knowing all the beers available, even though my notation is good. The prices for the food are not cheap but the quality is ok. I strongly recommend to try the imperial stout.

Some very good beers Beers for every taste. Real craft value
