About Laizhou Bar
Nestled along Fumin Lu's bustling F&B row, Laizhou Bar occupies prime real estate in Shanghai's competitive dining scene.
The venue sports cozy outdoor seating on its terrace and a dramatic interior space featuring high ceilings, ample seating, and private dining rooms.
New Sichuan Dishes
While keeping some of the previous favorites, the kitchen has expanded with heartier Sichuan-inspired dishes. New dishes dance between tradition and reinvention, featuring finger-licking good ribs to arancini laced with xuecai.
Sichuan Chilled Noodles
Start with the Sichuan Chilled Noodles (¥48). Cool, springy noodles are tossed in a punchy house-made chili oil with garlicky pork and crisp cucumber. It’s the kind of dish that wakes you up in the best way, delivering flavor and spice.
Sous Vide Chicken
Technique meets tradition in the Sous Vide Chicken (¥68), where tightly rolled poultry emerges from its low-temperature bath impossibly tender, plated in a pool of aromatic chili oil.
Sichuan Spicy Pork Ribs
For pure enjoyment, go for the Sichuan Spicy Pork Ribs (¥88). These meaty rib buried under a mountain of dried chilies and peanuts are perfect for gnawing straight off the bone. It has that addictive spice coating that will have you fighting for the last rib.
Sour-Spicy Pork Tongue
The Sour-Spicy Pork Tongue (¥78) is another standout, with tender yet crunchy tongue swimming in a tangy broth laden with pickled green chilis alongside mixed mushrooms and fried tofu skin. It’s an appetizing dish that’s best paired with rice for maximum satisfaction.
Sichuan-Style Braised Beef Tendons
The modern twists are just as compelling. The Sichuan-Style Braised Beef Tendons (¥88) come in a tomato-based stew with rib meat and radish, served in a toasted bread bowl — comfort food with a creative twist.
Crispy-Fried Bullfrog Legs
The Crispy-Fried Bullfrog Legs (¥78) take things up a notch, tossed in a spicy-tangy sauce and a surprising sprinkle of parmesan.
Arancini Iberian Ham with Bamboo Shoots
Meanwhile, the Arancini Iberian Ham with Bamboo Shoots (¥58/three) is a clever mashup of Sichuan flavors and Italian bar food, stuffed with pickled greens and served with a rich beef ragu.
Jasmine Panna Cotta
Desserts keep things interesting. The Jasmine Panna Cotta (¥18) is more pudding than custard, wobbly and delicate under a layer of matcha foam. It’s cool and light, not at all sweet, and will have you scraping the bottom of the cup in no time.
Lily Bulb & Osmanthus
The Lily Bulb & Osmanthus (¥18) is a fragrant, creamy finish, sweetened lightly with honey and floral osmanthus oil.
About the whisky — Laizhou recently launched their own line of single malts, featuring five different casks from peated bourbon to sherry. These start from ¥68 by the glass and ¥580 for the bottle, the latter of which comes with a selected dish to pair.
Free-Flow Deal
Laizhou Bar also has a crazy free-flow deal on their other spirits:
It's ¥108 for free-flow Blender 22, Blender 66, Jiaoyu Gin, and Linglie Vodka, including soft drinks for mixers. This deal runs daily from 3pm to 9pm.
It’s only for Laizhou members, but signing up is hella easy — spend any amount in-store, free registration.
