The Churchill Bar

Located within The Ritz-Carlton, Guangzhou in the heart of Zhujiang New Town, The Churchill Bar is the hotel’s signature lounge for those seeking an elevated, classic drinking experience. The bar embraces a traditional “gentleman’s club” aesthetic — dark wood paneling, leather armchairs, warm lighting, bookshelves, and an air of quiet dignity. The drink program places single-malt whiskies and cognacs at its epicenter, with a wide selection of imports, rare bottles, and aged spirits. Cocktails are also part of the repertoire, and the bar offers hand-made chocolates and imported cigars to complement the spirits menu. Entertainment is subtle but thoughtful: guests can enjoy piano + vocalist duos, live music in the evening, and soft ambient background. The space also offers a snooker / billiards table, inviting relaxed private play alongside drinks. The Churchill Bar is not about loudness or dance — it’s about ambiance, conversation, and craft. Reviewers often mention its “classic hotel bar” tone, comfortable couches, and well-trained staff. In the context of the hotel’s dining and lounge options, Churchill holds a distinct position: while the Ritz’s other venues focus on food (Lai Heen, Limoni, FOODS) and tea/lounge service (Pearl Lounge), Churchill is the after-hours retreat for spirits, cigars, and late conversations. Service hours run evening to late: Mon–Wed & Sunday: 6:00 PM to 1:00 AM, Thu–Sat: 6:00 PM to 2:00 AM. The dress code is smart casual. In short: The Churchill Bar is a traditional, elegant, whiskey-centric hotel bar that offers sophistication over spectacle — ideal for an intimate drink, post-dinner unwind, or quiet indulgence in Guangzhou’s hotel scene.
