1. Laowai

    Shanghai Cocktail Bar

    Behind a hidden freezer door in a Chinatown dumpling shop lies a teal-and-gold 1920s Shanghai fantasy. Laowai stocks Canada's largest baijiu collection and pairs the assertive spirit with original cocktails—the Beijing Bikini reimagines piña colada through its lens—while first-rate dumplings anchor the experience. A speakeasy that refuses frivolity.
