Chinese Room

Tucked into the heart of Chengdu’s Jinjiang District, Chinese Room (夜鹃 / Chinese Room Cocktail Bar) is a bar where cross-cultural drama and lavish detail coalesce. It presents itself as Chengdu’s first French-Chinese style bar, combining the opulence of European Rococo aesthetics with traditional Chinese motifs and a sense of theatrical grandeur. Stepping inside, you might feel transported: velvety fabrics, carved wood screens, gilded moldings, porcelain accents, and saturated colors frame every corner. The space is divided into a main bar area plus several independent rooms, each with its own theme and design — yet tied together by the bar’s overarching vision of East meets West. Contrasting elements — Chinese latticework, folding fans, zodiac iconography — are woven into classical European furnishings. The cocktail menu is a statement piece in itself. Designed in the style of folding fans and wooden parchments, the menu features themed drinks — many named after the twelve zodiac animals — and served in distinctive vessels. Reportedly, each cocktail carries a twist of local flavors, blending global technique with regional character. In terms of operations, the bar opens in two shifts: one in the afternoon (11:30 am to 17:30 pm) and then evening to late (19:30 pm to 02:00 am). This split schedule is common in upscale bars that also cater to tea/afternoon-cocktail hybrid service. In sum, Chinese Room is more than a bar — it’s a carefully choreographed aesthetic and sensory experience, designed for those who savor ambiance, inventive cocktails, and the thrill of luxury drama in a hidden space.
