Imaginative cocktails with theatrical presentation and bites

























"Locals and tourists alike frequent this ocean-themed bar in Flatiron, where the cocktails are works of art as much as they are refreshers. Shinji’s has created a spin on its own cocktail, the Tropicana, by making it with Ketel One vodka, Toki whisky, orange juice, vanilla, mango, hojicha, and lactic acid, served in a frozen orange." - Rebecca Strassberg

"Tony A.K.A The Italian Manhattan is a love letter to the borough’s Italian heritage and community. Using rosemary brown butter fat-washed Great Jones Empire Rye, Faretti Biscotti liqueur, lemon peel Carpano Dry Vermouth, and enhanced with a touch of saline solution, Salomon crafted a drink that celebrates the flavors of the city. “Tony was a simple man — a construction worker, husband, father, and Yankees fan till the end of his days,” Haili says, personifying the drink’s inspiration. “But for all his simplicity, he knew how he liked the few things he enjoyed, and nothing was better for Tony than relaxing after work with a glass of dry vermouth and starting his dinner with freshly made focaccia, the smell of rosemary in the air.”" - Julia Gómez Kramer

"From the same team behind the eight-seat sushi bar Noda, this award-winning cocktail bar is known for its imaginative cocktails, tableside handrolls, and caviar. Stepping into Shinji’s feels like you’ve stumbled into a treasure trove: There are less than 30 seats in the space, with a horseshoe-shaped bar, tables covered in tile-mosaic designs, and a staff that’ll wow you. Choose from one of the playful cocktails, like the Latte Martini, served in a faux coffee cup and featuring Zacapa Rum, nitrous smoke, coffee-infused Madeira wine, and a vegan foam." - Julia Gómez Kramer

"Shinji aims to provide guests with a truly immersive dining experience through attention to detail and focusing on hospitality at its core." - Kevin Chau
"Emerging from New York as a contemporary, technical cocktail destination from the team behind Michelin-starred omakase Noda, Shinji’s is known for inventive drinks (including a foie gras-infused sidecar) and for bringing highly creative cocktails to collaborations; for the Los Angeles pop-up they’re serving standout creations like the Jackie Treehorn, a Big Lebowski–inspired White Russian with zero dairy or dairy substitutes presented with a mini carpet coaster, and the Honeypenny, made with two types of gin, vodka, aperitif, mead, and Cocchi Americano." - Virali Dave
