The Mansion is another cocktail/whisky bar in Taikoo Li. The two-storey building was once the residence of Gao Delin, the fourth generation of Gao Shiqi, the fourth generation of Kangxi's "emperor" in the Qing Dynasty, hence the name. The first floor serves as a restaurant and dessert shop of the same name, while the second floor is an artsy bar area. The renovated mansion has both ancient charm and modern fashion, with a quiet atmosphere rarely found in Taikoo Li.
Behind the counter seats, a giant baccarat crystal chandelier becomes the visual center of the hall, where exquisite artwork can be seen everywhere, and the lights flickering under the leather sofa create an ambiguous atmosphere and a high degree of privacy, attracting many couples and gossip friends. However, the view from the balcony on the second floor of the high-rise building is not good, and the undulating eaves just block the night of Taikoo Li are a little disappointing.
March Snow is a popular drink in the store, and this original cocktail base is vodka, but the sake jug is used as a barware, and the portion is just enough to fill three small wine bowls, and the sweet taste is suitable for women. In addition, Mrs. Charles's alcohol sensation is not prominent, and the taste is refreshing and smooth in the mouth. And angry and absinthe are suitable for friends with heavier tastes. The store also has a hidden custom rose-flavored cocktail with a rich rose aroma with a sweet girly feel, and interested ladies may wish to try it. When ordering a cocktail, the bartender asks about the taste and taboos beforehand, which is worth a lot of praise.
There are about 130 types of whisky in Gaozhai, covering most of the production areas, and even some of the more off-the-beaten-path varieties can be found; The downside is that some wines have a price for a single glass on the wine list, but may be told that they can't order a la carte when ordering. There is no service charge in the store, but there is a minimum charge for booths except for the bar. Quiet and comfortable, elegant style, is the most appropriate description of this cool bar.
