More than half a decade after the speakeasy cocktail craze that has swept up cities like New York, Shanghai is experiencing its own. Well, we've got, like, three or so (hey, it's a start): Boulevard, Speak Low, and now Flask.
This latest of the bunch is fronted by a panini shop called The Press. But on my visit, no paninis were being served. Guests were bypassing the sandwich counter for a Coke machine that opens up to a clandestine booze lair. Inside it's fairly non descript. It's dark, furnished with low-slung tables, armchairs, and sofas. Perhaps the most notable design cue is a rack of glass carboys full of a liquid that looks like whiskey.
