🎖️ Malt Genius Bar 🎖️

The number one cocktail bar in Wuxi!
If I could give it 10 stars, I would!

The bar is located in a less-known area of Wuxi, in the Jingkai Xuelang Town. It’s quite hard to find it at night, and most of the customers are regulars.

Even though I don’t visit Wuxi often, I always check in at this bar every time I come back. For example, this time I went two days in a row XD

The environment is well crafted, and the bartender takes good care of every guest, especially those sitting at the bar; they basically can’t finish all the shots. For instance, yesterday I had four gin shots; I love gin!

I ordered a martini. The ingredients for a martini are simple, but making a good one isn’t easy. Just using different gins can lead to a huge variation in taste, which is why I love it very, very much. Five stars.

There was also a hawthorn cocktail; I forgot what the base spirit was, but it was delicious.

The Negroni (coffee version) had gin infused with coffee beans first, and then they roasted coffee beans on top with a torch, thus the Negroni (coffee version) was born, with a lovely coffee aroma (obviously), and it was really fantastic, also five stars!

Additionally, regarding whiskey, as everyone knows, I love Irish whiskey. Its triple distillation process makes the whiskey incredibly “sacred.” This time, I chose Bushmills Black and let the bartender work his magic. He sliced an apple, turned it into puree and juice, and mixed it with whiskey. Five stars!

As mentioned before, most of the guests are regulars. I've been coming here on and off for about two or three years now, and I’ve made some friends, including Chen Qinyi, who will be going to the U.S. for her master’s degree at the end of October. Yesterday was her last visit to Malt Genius, and everyone helped hang a banner to send her off. I hope to see her again in fifteen months.

For me, a bar is not just a place to drink (although the quality of cocktails is very important), but more importantly, it provides a space for socializing and communication, much like MacLaren's where Ted and his friends often went in HIMYM. The reason a bar keeps inviting people back is because of the people there or the stories that happen there. Malt Genius, along with its outstanding cocktails, also offers everyone a great emotional value platform. Ten stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In the future, I hope to open a bar in Tainan, just selling shots! Whiskey shots, vodka shots, gin shots, tequila shots; anyone who reads this article can come to my bar, and I’ll treat you to unlimited shots!
P.S. Vodka shots are best served cold.

If I can’t open a bar, at least I can set up a simple bar at home, and you are welcome to come and drink at my place XD

There are so many things to write about, so I apologize for the fragmented writing.
