About Topgolf & The Lounge

If you haven’t heard of Topgolf, they’re actually a pretty big deal.

The brand has more than 80 sports entertainment centers worldwide; the largest, most over-the-top location is in Las Vegas, boasting 108 hitting bays, a concert hall, two pools, and multiple restaurants. The Vegas location is about to be toppled by Topgolf Chengdu, a 12,000sqm project to open mid-2023.

Their brand of digitized sports, namely golf, is achieved by their Swing Suites, interactive simulators loaded with virtual games, as well as electronically tracked golfballs, virtual golf courses, and more.

Lounge by Topgolf is a compact version of the mothership brand, a bar and restaurant fueled by the aforementioned Swing Suites. The simulators are programmed with virtual sports of golf, featuring 80 golf courses from around the world, as well as football, hockey, baseball, and carnival games. These are available in the venue’s private rooms and in the main bar area.

The VVIP Swing Suite has a dedicated bar, a pool table, and a pinball machine. Suitable for parties of 30 people.

In addition, Lounge by Topgolf also has a 9-hole minigolf course. (I’m horrible at minigolf, but you don’t have to be good to enjoy it!)

It’s food, drink, and entertainment under one roof.

Pan-Asian Food & Drink

As for food and drink, Lounge by Topgolf serves a menu of Pan-Asian inspired dishes with cocktails in the same theme.

There are snackable bar bites and “handhelds” for ease of eating while playing games, appetizers and salads, and hefty mains to share like the signature suckling pig.

They’ve also upped their wing game, and now have 10 different flavors of fried chicken, featuring profiles like belacan, Singapore-style black pepper, and salted egg yolk.

Here are some of the new dishes:

**Grilled Octopus (¥138)** served over home fries with a potent pesto sauce.

**Burrata Cheese (¥128)** – Fresh, locally produced burrata with cherry tomatoes and a delightfully tart preserved plum sauce.

**Sichuan-Style Spicy Chicken (¥78)** – Gloriously crispy wings crusted in spices and peppercorns alongside crunchy deep-fried chilies and peanuts. Fair warning, these are quite fiery, but very addictive.

**Japanese-Style Teriyaki Fried Chicken (¥78)** – Sweet and savory teriyaki glazed wings with an avalanche of bonito flakes.

**Tom Yum Goong Crayfish Pizza (¥88)** – It’s exactly as advertised: tom yum goong flavors on a pizza with popcorn-sized chunks of crayfish.

**Roasted Lamb Chops (¥368)** – A rack of chops crusted with pistachio and cumin, roasted to medium doneness, served with grilled asparagus. It is a dish inspired by kebabs, hence the flatbread and mint yogurt sauce.

If you’re going with a large group, get the signature **Crispy Suckling Pig (¥888/half, ¥1,688/whole).** Comes with gua bao buns, slaw, guindilla peppers, olives, and sauces.

**Roasted Purple Sweet Potato (¥48)** – A simple yet ultimately comforting side dish. It’s a whole roasted purple sweet potato filled with melted cheese, béchamel, and topped with tomato salsa.

And they do an excellent burger, too. The **Wagyu Cheeseburger & Fries** is available as a single (¥88) or double stack (¥136). Lounge by Topgolf is also part of Shanghai Burger Month 2022. Click here to read more.

**Vanilla Wafer Rolls & Coffee Cake (¥78)** – Light vanilla wafer rolls and a cream-topped slice of coffee cake.

As for drinks, it’s a full bar of options from craft beer to cocktails.

New cocktails include the easy-going Swing & Sing, a gin-based highball with Sichuan pepper, pandan leaf, and Cointreau, and the Holiday in Rome, a twist on a whisky sour.
