Golden Monkey Chinese New Year Party
This basement cocktail haunt is welcoming the Year of The Rat with drink specials, a lion dance and live R&B
Overview
Hardware Lane's Shanghai-inspired cocktail bar Golden Monkey is welcoming the Year of the Rat with a tune-filled Chinese New Year party. The basement space will transform into A Night in Old Shanghai, on Saturday, January 25.
Prepare to be entertained by the night's traditional lion dance performance, before local acts Jourdain & Jack, and Amy and Deborah Kwong have you grooving along to a dose of live R&B.
You can get comfy in one of the booths, and match those tunes with some top-notch food and drink specials — Golden Monkey's known for its house cocktails and classic Chinese dishes ranging from fluffy bao to handmade dumplings. If you're with a group of mates, we suggest you order one of its giant, shareable punches served in Chinese metal steamboats.
