High energy in Shanghai, followed by a massive milestone! 🍸💚✨

On Oct 21, Director of Bars Mark Lloyd (@mark
__macau) brought our new UNITY cocktails to @barchoice_teabar in Shanghai, joining Ring Zhao (@ringzhao2024) for a night of thoughtfully crafted pours and live DJ beats in a late-night room.

Just a day later, the news dropped—Wing Lei Bar has been named among the Top 100 Bars! 🏆

This recognition is a tribute to the #UNITY, late-night shifts, and deep friendships that inspire
our menu. Huge love to our team, our hosts at Bar Choice, and everyone who supports us along the way. Come celebrate with us back at Wing Lei Bar tonight! 🥂

Bangkok’s Opium Bar brought its liquid surreality to Bar Choice Shanghai at the Tatler Best Takeover in Shanghai.

Perched above a 120-year-old Chinatown shophouse that once served as an opium den, @opm.bkk pours on a philosophy it calls liquid surreality: a menu built from the memory of the building itself, where fact and fantasy blur across nearly 50 cocktails.

Last night, Oscar Eksiam @oscar.irn and Arnon Hoontrakul @kk11.eleven joined Ring Zhao @ringzhao2024 of @barchoice_teabar behind the bar, shaking and stirring alongside a live DJ set.

Newjack X SUZU BAR X Bar Choice

Bar Choice made its way to New Jack Yokohama. Thanks to Ksk and Abi for having us, and great co-hosting alongside SUZU Bar for a memorable joint guest shift. Delighted to bring our Eastern tea-infused cocktails to a broader audience.

An exceptional team and high standard of execution from the New Jack crew. It was a pleasure being part of it.

AFTER HOURS. A BAR CULTURE DIARY.

One city. A thousand cocktails.

A week of guest shifts, familiar faces, new encounters and a lot of nights behind the bar.

Milano, during The World’s 50 Best Bars 2026.

Good drinks. Better people.

Through my lens.

Huge thanks to @ritastikiroom and @andrea_arcaini for the invitation!

Wrapped up my guest shift in Milan surrounded by perfect Italian weather and the World’s 50 Best Bars celebrations—the whole city was practically soaked in cocktails.

Endless gratitude to the entire Rita team @ritacocktails and the legend @edoardonono for your incredible hospitality and professionalism.

You truly lit up my European journey!
