12-Bar BLUES(黑石公寓店)

Shanghai, China · Music-led cocktail bar · Asia

Open — status verification pending

Assumed open from its 2026 Olive China Bar Awards listing. Independent verification of its current status is pending. Award source

As of 8 October 2026, current service is unverified. The historical operating-status audit cites a Bangkok event article, which does not establish service at this Shanghai venue. That audit remains archived unchanged. The open assumption uses the existing Olive policy, not independent operating evidence.

A compact second-floor cocktail bar at M+ Blackstone whose seasonal list follows the twelve-bar blues form, pairing twelve reworked classics with music and serving Taiwanese late-night food.
