Opened in February 2018, Vgear Music Restaurant is owned by the famous KTV brand Haoledi in Shanghai. Although it is the shortest music restaurant on the list, it has made a name for itself with its excellent music and authentic bar environment, and has been sought after by many customers.
Before customers enter, the cylindrical closet with wine bottles stands out. The Vgear is decorated in the style of a bar, with black marble tables and leather dining chairs, and a bar decorated with embedded lamps and a wine wall, which is quite a bit of a nightclub style. The stage located along the wall of the hall is very conspicuous, equipped with ample stage lighting and floor-to-ceiling LED screens, so that the performance can become the focus of the whole audience. The fly in the ointment is that the seating arrangement in the store is a little too crowded, the spacing between the seats in the lobby is a little narrow, the privacy is poor, and the only few booths are a little far away from the stage and the line of sight is not good, which is annoying.
Relying on the high-quality music resources of the parent brand Haoledi, Vgear's resident lineup is naturally not far behind. Resident singers such as Lu Xi, Jie Jie, and Su Su all have rich experience in special performances and working with celebrities, and can easily control pop, hip-hop, funk and other styles of music performances. Among them, singer Su Su has won the championship of the singer group of the Pepsi Rising Star Competition, with a unique voice comparable to that of European and American singers, and is good at singing English songs in various styles, which is favored by customers. In order to ensure the quality of the performances, the store has 4-6 groups of artists participating in the performances every night, and each group performs for about 45 minutes. The performance period is generally from 18:30 - 23:00, and on weekends it is extended by one hour, depending on the season. In addition, the store also has a "music sharing class" program, providing vocal music and ukulele teaching, with 20 people signing up for the class, interested customers may wish to visit the store for details.
Drinks are a must-try when visiting the store, and the extensive wine list includes craft beers, cocktails, wines, champagnes and whiskeys. Blue Monkey is a recommended drink in the beer specialty category, which is based on rum and white beer, and is blended with Blue Curacao, lime juice, pineapple juice, etc., which is refreshing and sweet, with moderate strength and restraint, which is suitable for many customers. Among the cocktails, Mojito, Lychee Martini and Pandora's Box are the main ones, and the base wine is evenly matched with raw materials, and the overall quality is not inferior to that of professional bars, which is worth recommending.
As a new music restaurant in Shanghai, Vgear's line-up is still a bit underwhelming, with a variety of snacks such as American fries, chicken and fruit platters, which can only be used as snacks to accompany wine. According to the merchants, the store will launch a large number of Taiwan-style dishes in the near future, including Taiwanese pork belly buns, seafood scenes and cherry blossom shrimp fried rice, etc., which are worth looking forward to. The consumer prices in the store are slightly higher, and the price gradient of alcohol grades is obvious, but most of the beers and cocktails are priced within 100 yuan, which can meet the needs of ordinary consumption, and the price of the rest of the drinks ranges from 200 to 2680 yuan. In addition, the store provides a stored value membership system, and at present, you can get a 300 free amount by recharging 300 yuan, but the free amount cannot be used for the whole bottle of wine consumption and weekends, and the limit is more, and the cost performance is slightly lower.
