Bar Sober Company
True to its motto—"Come sober, leave tipsy"—the bar offers an immersive journey through four distinct spaces, each inspired by Japanese drinking culture and Shingo Gokan’s years living in New York. Guests are invited to move seamlessly from one area to the next, with the ultimate reward being entry to the legendary hidden bar, Tipsy.
Sober Company is more than a bar—it’s a multi-sensory journey through Japanese drinking culture, Western technique, and Eastern ingredients. Whether you’re here for a morning coffee, an afternoon cocktail, or the quest to unlock Tipsy, this is a Shanghai institution that rewards the curious and delights the devoted.
