Liang Shan Po

The History of a Legend

The ancient sages said, “Do not despise the snake for having no horns, for who is to say it will not become a dragon?”

So one man may become an army

Nearly a thousand years ago in ancient China, at the time of the Sung Dynasty, there was a cruel and corrupt government.

A band of men riding as outlaws–heroes–where driven to live, hidden in the Water Margins of Liang Shan Po.

Shoreditches best kept secret !

In late 2009 Liang Shan Po – a Speakeasy style members bar was opened on the corner of Shoreditch High St and Great Eastern St.

In an area with more than it’s fair share of bar openings, too many of which are formulaic, Liang shan Po truly offers a unique proposition.

With interiors designed by Hong Kong based designer Simon Cheung, Liang Shan Po combines the style of an opulent Shanghainese opium den with a 1920′s Chicago speakeasy. Bathed in copper and gold with rich coloured furnishings and hand carved wooden pillars finished with dark grey goldust effect ceramic floor.

BAR

Guests can take advantage of the specially designed Cocktail menu. Drinks like the Dragoneye and Xing Gui punch mirror classic style cocktails but with definate Asian flavours using fresh ingredients and hand picked premium spirits as a base.

FOOD

Dim Sum was originally served in teahouses to farmers and traders travelling along the famous old Silk road that ran through China to the Mediterranean. The food is served canape style and clients can pre-order from our kitchen with prices starting from £10 per head

THE MUSIC

The music has been put together to reflect the opulant but relaxed feeling of the bar with a collection of “musica electronica” compiled and mixed especially for Liang Shan Po by the ubiquitous Monophunk team. The bar also has a portfolio of local  and internationally known DJ’s to suit every function, for a full list and availability please contact us.
