Boxing Cat Brewery in Shanghai

Shanghai is a modern, vivacious metropolitan that rivals New York, London, Tokyo and Paris. Just like other great metropolitans in the world, Shanghai is also a great place for finding delicious cuisines, cocktails, and microbrews. Yes, you heard it right, tasty beers freshly brewed in Shanghai!
On one of the sleepless nights, Karen and I stumbled into this award winning brewery and restaurant on Fuxing Xi Lu, near YongFu Lu in the French Concession – Boxing Cat Brewery (BCB).

BCB resides in a 3-story modernized old European style house. It has a large patio and a small dinning room on the ground floor. Two large dinning rooms and a balcony occupy the 2nd floor. In between the 2nd and 3rd floor, there is a private dinning room that can fit around 10 people. This little nook and cranny of a place could be very cozy for a gathering of close friends. The 3rd floor is complete with a pool table, dart board and a full service bar to help the game players quench their thirst.

BCB brews its own microbrews, so everyday they will have 4 special beers on tap for you to taste. For 1/2 a pint (13oz), the price is 35RMB, and for a full pint (20 oz), the damage is 45 RMB. Besides their own microbrews, BCB also serves a variety of wine, champagne, cocktails and hard liquor. BCB also has an extensive food menu. You can choose from burgers, pasta, BBQ ribs, Halibut & Oyster fish & chips and many other mouth watering items on the menu. The average price is around 100 RMB, and the portions are huge, definitely American style. If you find it hard to get to BCB on a weekday, then you must not miss their “Weekend Brunch”. They have everything from pancakes, omelet to southern biscuit & gravy and the “Big Daddy’s Steak & Eggs”. Brunch comes with choice of coffee, tea or juice, and prices range from 38 - 105 RMB.

OK, now get away from your computer, call a few friends and go check it out. You might just have found your new home there….

Enjoy, and happy eating, drinking and exploring in Shanghai!
