Sharing the garden, Mexican cantina Zapata’s is the place to be on Wednesdays – free martinis for the girls, ’80s house music and dancing on the bartop assured.close

   Wow...That was the only word i could say for the first half hour after entering Bar Rouge..this nightclub is on the very top floor of one of Shanghai's many skyscrapers on the Bund... It was a scene straight from Sex and the City, complete with barmen who lit the bar on fire, lit the DJ box on... more Wow...That was the only word i could say for the first half hour after entering Bar Rouge..this nightclub is on the very top floor of one of Shanghai's many skyscrapers on the Bund... It was a scene straight from Sex and the City, complete with barmen who lit the bar on fire, lit the DJ box on fire..and that was just the start of it. The nightclub itself is half indoors and half outdoors. and believe me, with the heat of a Shanghai summer, often the airconditioned inside is cooler than outside! The outside part has sand, beach chairs, sun loungers, you name it... the inside part is all sultry lighting, with a huge bar in the middle and lots seats around the side where people can sit and be noticed... The music was brilliant, a mixture of old school and chart dance music..the crowd was well dressed and there was a lot of champagne to be seen, there was mix of Chinese and foreigners... The view from outside is unbelievable, possibly the best i have ever seen! You can see right down the Bund and across into Pudong, and all lit up at night, its really worth paying the nightclub entrance fee for the view alone!close

   A two-storey heritage villa on quiet Anting Lu, Cotton’s exudes warmth and elegance, with open fireplaces, a fabulous backyard deck and bar, to-die-for espresso martinis and it has a laid back friendly vibe.

   Deep in People’s Park, on the edge of a still lake, candlelit Barbarossa glimmers like a mirage. Step inside to find three storeys of maharajah chic filled with North African antiques and the latest hip-hop beats. Try a cappuccino-flavoured sheesha pipe on the terracotta rooftop and chill out... more Deep in People’s Park, on the edge of a still lake, candlelit Barbarossa glimmers like a mirage.

   New Heights serves Western food with a nod to Southeast Asia. It’s the most casual and affordable option and boasts the best view in the house from the wraparound terrace.

   Adjoining Glamour Bar – reminiscent of a 1930s Hollywood movie set and serves excellent Martinis, stay clear of the Motio’s however if your are not partial to dried mint.

    Some like it, some don't... but they all end up there anyways :). Why? Because it's cheap and usually crowded with foreigners. There's an entrance fee on fridays and saturdays. My tip: Go there on thursday, U won't regret it!
