MO Bar

Perched 79 floors above Shenzhen in the Mandarin Oriental's UpperHills tower, MO Bar is a landmark destination for nightlife sophistication. Since its early 2022 debut, it’s become known not just for its dramatic skyline views, but also for inventive mixology that honours Chinese heritage. The bar’s signature “Colours of China” and earlier “Movable Type” menus translate ancient cultural concepts—like traditional pigments and printing techniques—into a 16‑cocktail narrative tied to China’s 24 solar terms. Headed by beverage director Tiger Chang, MO Bar blends seasonal, bespoke ingredients with flair and showmanship—from tomato‑vodka “Lutinus” to autumnal, artful creations. The space itself is industrial‑chic, with floor‑to‑ceiling windows, an outdoor terrace, and a vibrant yet refined energy spiked by resident DJs, making it a hotspot for late‑night urbanites . Highly awarded, MO Bar claimed the top hotel bar title at China’s National DRiNK Awards (2024) and rose to #21 on Asia’s 50 Best Bars list in 2025—the first hotel bar in Mainland China to achieve either milestone. It’s a must‑visit for cocktail aficionados seeking narrative‑driven drinks, panoramic cityscapes, and an elevated yet approachable ambiance—all without reservations or stiff formality.
