Best Bar Overall?

Barbarossa - you said we could add nominations in the thread itself and I'm making full use of that, sorry!

I go with Barbarossa too... . The most unique experience I have ever got in Shanghai bar scene.

I like all the bars on the list, but Sense is the one I frequent the most, and it's nice to walk into a place and be sure you'll know at least three people there, none of the other bars offer that sense of Senses.

Manifesto would be my second choice and Park third.

I also go with Senses. Great patron who is firstly knowledgable and makes you feel welcome, you always know a few guys there and solid staff behind the bar. Rocking BBQ on the weekends and great selection of import wines and beers.

Senses is closely followed by Face as it's one of my "locals" - I live virtually across the road which is great as I try to sneak a few happy hour lagers down my neck for 25RMB till 20:00 during the week. Great cocktails too - not the cheapest place but a great setting for out of town friends. I prefer Face ealry in the night - and avoid it during the weekend normally.

It's interesting as I have never been a massive fan of Barbarossa. Beautifully decked out and all...but it just doesnt really float my boat.

Big Bamboo; decent happy hour, loads of tv screens, pool tables, shuffleboard.
