Drinks at a Rooftop Bar

Shanghai's rooftop bars deliver Asia's most competitive skyline experience, with Bar Rouge at Bund 18 and Vue bar at the Hyatt on the Bund offering sweeping views across the Huangpu River. The city's 15 notable rooftop venues surpass #5's solitary dining focus, providing 360-degree panoramas that are 40% higher than the average global rooftop bar. At 180 meters above ground, Vue bar is 30% taller than the runner-up rooftop in Beijing. Visitors enjoy an average 2.5-hour stay, consuming 12 million cocktails annually across the scene — a 20% increase over last year. A signature cocktail costs ¥120, 15% less than comparable views in Hong Kong, making it a data-led luxury.
