about us
Spitalfields' favourite cocktail & wine bar — ask anyone on Commercial Street
Tucked just off Commercial Street, a few minutes from Liverpool Street station, 68&SHANGHAI is four floors of very different energy under one roof.
Old Shanghai nightlife spliced with East London's don't-take-it-too-seriously spirit, a cocktail masterclass, a hidden wine cellar, a lounge that feels like a secret, and a £5 happy hour that's basically legendary round here.
Come for one drink. You won't leave after one drink.
No Minimum Spend.
No Hire Fee.
THIS AUGUST
All four floors, all of August, book any room and there's no minimum spend, no hire fee, nothing hiding in the small print. Just show up and get on with it. Terms apply.
