Golden Monkey

  • Entertainment
  • Bar

Downstairs from East China Trading Company, through velvet curtains, lies the romance, mystery and decadence of the Golden Monkey.

A forbidden bar and nightspot paying tribute to 1920s Shanghai, Golden Monkey provides a hedonistic escape for those wanting to party in style.

Drinks include refreshing cocktails and house-made specialty shots. Shared punches are served in everything from traditional Chinese steamboats to vintage metal trunks.

Steamed dumplings and Chinese bao are available all night long. Favourites come fresh, hot and steaming to your table, in big bamboo baskets.

Support local musicians and performers with live R&B, soul and pop every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and DJs spinning all genres and eras feature on other nights.

Golden Monkey caters for the solo adventurist, small groups out celebrating, and functions and events for up to 200 guests.
