Lobster Bar and Grill是香格里拉酒店的龙虾吧餐厅,这里餐饮水平一流,但让其名声大噪的却是鸡尾酒。Lobster Bar & Grill已连续三年进入全球50家最佳酒吧的评选,在2018年的评选中位列亚洲第10位,超过了Stockton、Quinary等极具特色的酒吧。全球最佳50家酒吧的评选是由英国饮料行业权威杂志《Drinks International》主办,由全球专业的品酒师在全球范围内投票选出,被选的酒吧都是品酒师亲自到场测评。
The use of traditional cocktails is one of the reasons why Lobster Bar and Grill has been selected year after year. There are many different types of cocktails, with different base wines combined with other auxiliary ingredients, and the bartender's precise blend of alcohol to create cocktails with a wide range of flavors. Lobster Bar and Grill has a complete range of liquors and brands, with nearly 20 types of Gin liquor, as well as whisky, red wine, and champagne from different regions, with prices ranging from more than 100 Hong Kong dollars to tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. The wine list is rich in detail, and in addition to introducing the composition and origin of the name, each cocktail also shows the glasses and shapes used in each drink, so that even beginners who don't know anything about cocktails can find out from the wine list. If you don't have a wine to suit your tastes on the wine list, you can describe your taste preferences to the bartender, and maybe even get a surprise of the bartender's live creation. When ordering sake, confirm your personal preference for the taste of the sake, and avoid a "casual" mentality. The taste of a cocktail varies from person to person, for example, whether the wine tastes sour, sweet or bitter, whether the alcohol content is high or low, and whether the aroma likes the smell of mint, fruit, coffee or herbs, all determine whether the cocktail is to your taste. Among the base drinks of cocktails, gin, vodka, and rum are more suitable for ordinary people to try, while whisky has a smoky taste that is more suitable for wine lovers. So when choosing what to drink, it's not easy to get it wrong by looking at the ingredients listed on the wine list and confirming the tone.
Lobster Bar and Grill's five-star hotel service is also a plus for being the best bar. On-site bars are often more focused on the customer experience. If you are visiting Lobster Bar and Grill for the first time, the waiter will ask you about your location requirements, and tell you about the recommended drinks of the day and the performances of the evening. Before the wine is served, the waiter has already prepared the complimentary snacks to accompany the wine, and perhaps for a delicious snack, he will order two more glasses.

Lobster Bar and Grill对穿着有要求,不可太过暴露或随意,人字拖、沙滩装等服饰会被拒绝入内。Lobster Bar & Grill不提供吸烟区,整个酒吧禁止吸烟。此外需要注意,Hong Kong的大多数酒吧提供的酒单都只有英文,许多酒吧的服务员也多以外国人为主,英语是默认语言;当然服务员会尽量与顾客进行沟通,但很多服务员都只会英语和粤语。
