Shanghai Love Bar & Restaurant
Shanghai Love is a restaurant and bar that celebrates beer culture through inclusive events, food pairings, and cocktails with a spatial concept that revolves around the beer staplers designed by Q&A Studio.
More than a restaurant with a bar, Shanghai Love is a restaurant that revolves around a bar, starting from the element that gave birth to all its successful history: crafted beer.
Located on one of Shanghai’s busiest pedestrian streets, Shanghai Love was created by the vision of Kia Parsai, founder of the famous homonymous beer brand.
This first flagship restaurant and bar is not simply a drinking place but a flexible space created to celebrate beer culture in all its forms through inclusive events, fine food pairings and sophisticated signature cocktail tastings.
Set at the very center of the lofty room, the beer staplers arise from the ground like two giant red fountains from which the spatial concept originates, becoming generators of geometries and shapes that develop throughout the rest of the venue.
Instead of being hidden, the complex system of pipes that brings the beer from the cellar to the central bar has been deliberately highlighted with the characteristic red of Shanghai Love logo. This way, the bar becomes the beating heart of the space and, by extension, of the brand itself.
