High-quality cocktail bar in Surpass Court, Avenue Joffre is synonymous with head bartender Harada Munenori, who used to be the main shaker at el Coctel, the original place in Shanghai for Japanese-style bartending in a comfortable western setting. He's a bit of an institution. Although the menu does has nods to seasonal fruits and the ephemeral, Avenue Joffre's faith lies in the eternal. This is where you go for classic pillars; Martinis, Manhattans and White Ladies, either in the comfy armchairs or perched on the bar watching the man in the white jacket work. Room for about 60 to sit.
