Barber Shop / Massage Bar

In Shenzhen’s rising speakeasy scene, Barber Shop and its newer sibling Massage Bar stand out as dual-front cocktail dens hidden behind everyday facades. According to local guides, the concept is playful: enter what appears to be a barbershop or a massage parlor, pass through an innocuous door or mechanism, and you find yourself in sleek cocktail rooms lit by low lights and filled with ambiance. Barber Shop is located at No. 1035 Shangbu Nanlu, Futian District, Shenzhen (深圳市福田区上步南路1035号). Massage Bar’s address is given as 16 Nanhai Dadao, Nanshan District (南山区桃园路1号西海明珠花园119商铺3011). The guide describes that one might enter behind the guise of a barbershop or massage parlor, then transition into cocktail rooms that echo Soho or East Village styles, with industrial touches and design that nods to hidden speakeasy culture. One write-up of the Massage Bar facade (Ciyuntang Traditional Massage) describes pulling the “right vase” on a shelf to trigger a wall to slide, revealing the bar inside. The downstairs space is said to be more rugged, with neon lighting, exposed structures, and curious slogans like “When life gives you lemonade, add vodka” on walls. Upstairs, the ambiance softens: sofas, dimmer light, and more lounge style. The cocktail menu is apparently playful and themed: drinks named “Sakura Bath,” “Da Bao Jian,” and “SZ Bay Sunbath” among others. The guide also mentions beer pong being available, making the spot not just for sipping but engaging. Glass-dark, mysterious, somewhat theatrical: the notion is that the bar rewards the curious explorer. While detailed menus and full contact details are hard to confirm, it clearly positions itself in the hidden bar circuit of Shenzhen.
