[Revisited] Bonbon

By Morgan Short, Jun 4th, 2008 | In Nightlife



I've never really been to Bonbon since it opened three years ago, but have driven by it enough times late at night to know to stay away. Between 3 and 4am the club spits the chewed-up and exiled youth of Shanghai out onto the steps sliding down to Huaihai Lu -- writhing, fighting, puking, dancing, crying, and screaming into the night -- Bonbon's logo hangs in the air overhead glimmering demoniacally through the billowing BBQ meat smoke. The club yawns open into the city night like the gates of hell and the scene below is like a Lacoste-sponsored mass suicide.
