Shanghai Inn Cocktail Bar and Restaurant

You'll find Shanghai Inn tucked away on Tontine Street, where the cocktail bar culture isn't exactly thick on the ground in Folkestone. It's the kind of place that takes itself seriously without being stuffy—dim lighting, the sort of bar where they actually know what they're doing with spirits and bitters. The menu pulls from Shanghai's culinary tradition alongside classic cocktail territory, so you're getting proper food that matches the drinks programme rather than just crisps and peanuts. It's become a proper fixture for anyone round here who wants something beyond the usual town centre offerings.
